Jimmy Howard was brilliant last night, stopping 42 of 43 shots on the way to a 3-1 victory over the Los Angeles Kings. Will he get the start back-to-back? Jeff Blashill could ride the hot hand, but it wouldn’t be a surprise if he played the percentages and gave Jonathan Bernier the nod tonight.
The anticipation throughout the weekend is that Washington will potentially get T.J. Oshie back tonight after missing significant time due to a concussion.
Reirden said it is a possibility that Oshie plays tomorrow vs Detroit, but they will wait and see how he looks this afternoon and tomorrow morning before making the call.
