With apologies — I’ve been, to borrow a phrase from a classic, mostly dead all week — here’s tonight’s game thread! The Preds return home from their road trip to host the Washington Capitals in a game that airs at 7 PM Central on FanDuel Sports Network South and 102.5 The Game.
Age and the absence of long-time setup man Nicklas Bäckström have slowed Ovechkin down some, but he’s far from done yet and still chasing Gretzky’s record. If someone from the Caps has to score tonight (and someone from the Caps almost certainly does), I wouldn’t mind if it’s him.
