A night after a solid but ultimately fruitless outing in Dallas, the Caps headed to Chicago – late – to get their first look of the season at Connor Bedard & friends, and hopefully get back in the win column.
First, some admin stuff:
- Who: Capitals vs. Blackhawks
- Where: United Center
- When: 8:30 p.m.
- How to Watch: Monumental
- How to Listen: 106.7, Capitals Radio 24/7
Depending on how Andrew Mangiapane, who was a late scratch last night with illness, is feeling, the Caps could go with the same lineup they used against the Stars (with Logan Thompson taking over the netminding duties):
McMichael – Strome – Raddysh
Protas – Dubois – Wilson
Vrana – Eller – Lapierre
Duhaime – Dowd – Miroshnichenko
Fehervary – Carlson
Sandin – Roy
Chychrun – van Riemsdyk
Thompson
Lindgren
On this date in 1974: Fresh off their third win of the season, the Caps hit the road for a western swing that started in Vancouver where they promptly…lost, the Canucks snapping Washington’s one-game winning streak with a 4-2 victory.
