A tough shootout loss was the result for the Capitals at Verizon Center Thursday night against the Devils. Now, a rematch awaits Saturday afternoon at Prudential Center in New Jersey.
The Devils, one of the worst teams in the Eastern Conference and down top offensive weapon Taylor Hall, were still able to hold the Caps to just one goal in the contest Thursday. Backup netminder Keith Kinkaid was brilliant while making 43 saves.
Following the strong performance, don’t be surprised to see Kinkaid back between the pipes. There’s no official word on Hall’s status — he’s currently listed as day-to-day.
