Tonight was the first stop on the Capitals’ three-game western road trip. They were without Evgeny Kuznetsov, who is still listed as day-to-day after sustaining an upper-body injury against the Islanders on Monday night, so...bah gawd that’s Travis Boyd’s music! With Lars Eller moving up to the Caps’ second line, Boyd slotted in as third line center. Boyd hadn’t suited up for a game since January 27 when Alex Ovechkin was serving his one-game suspension for missing the ASG.
This game was a fun matchup of past and present Washington Capitals: Philipp Grubauer, Andre Burakovsky, and the Avs versus Braden Holtby, Tom Wilson, and the Caps.
