There you are, Ovi.
Alex Ovechkin has scored his first goal of the postseason. You’ll never guess how, unless you guess on the power play from the Ovi Spot, in which case, yeah, good guess, that was it.
Just like we drew it up, the Caps have struck first in Game Two thanks to a goal by Jay Beagle with a primary assist by Brooks Orpik.
Obviously.
The Caps return to playoff action tonight in DC, trying to even up their first round series with the Blue Jackets. The bad news for the Caps is they’ll have to do this short-handed, as they’ll be without Jake Vrana and Christian Djoos, arguably their fifth best forward and fourth best defenseman this season. Both will be on nacho duty because head coach Barry Trotz has elected to make them healthy scratches. Interesting.
Jay Beagle will return and Michal Kempny is good to go after his injury in Game One.
Puck drop tonight is at 7:30 PM and will be carried locally on NBCSW.

From this morning’s skate, it appears that forward Jay Beagle will return to active play, taking the place of Jakub Vrana. As reported yesterday, Barry Trotz will stick with Philipp Grubauer in net.
