The Washington Capitals are finally back home after a putrid six-game road streak. Now they’ll play the Metropolitan Division-leading Carolina Hurricanes without many of their star players back at home.
The Capitals will be without Pierre-Luc Dubois, Connor McMichael, Matt Roy, Logan Thompson, and Charlie Lindgren due to injury. (Yes, both of their starting goaltenders. Martin Fehervary will also miss the game due to personal reasons.
The Capitals called up forward Bogdan Trineyev and Garin Bjorklund from AHL Hershey to give themselves some relief before puck drop.
Clay Stevenson will get the start and oppose Frederik Andersen in net.
Coming into the game, the Capitals are six points out of third place in the Metropolitan Division and eight points out of the second wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference.
Puck drop for today’s game is scheduled for a little after 5:00 pm. Today’s game is on Monumental Sports Network. Joe Beninati, TJ Oshie, and Craig Laughlin have the call.
