The time has finally come, Caps fans: Braden Holtby is facing off against the Washington Capitals. The Dallas Stars are there too, but let’s be real, all eyes are on the Stars’ net tonight. Despite leaving Washington in free agency in 2020, this is the first time Holtby has played against the Caps because of last year’s realigned divisions. Hope you’ve got your tissues ready!
This is the Capitals’ eighth game in just 14 days. Michal Kempny, after participating in the majority of today’s morning skate in Dallas, is unavailable tonight after he was placed in COVID protocol this afternoon.
