BAH GAWD, THAT’S CHRISTIAN DJOOS’ MUSIC! That’s right folks, after a ten-game stretch as a healthy scratch, everyone’s favorite slight but speedy Swedish defenseman is back in the lineup tonight against the Devils. Fun fact: this is his 100th career NHL game! He’s slotting in on the third pairing with Nick Jensen, replacing Brooks Orpik, which means we’re getting our first look at the long-awaited #JenAndJuice pairing.
The last time the Caps and Devils met, Holtby posted a 25-save shutout to lead the Caps to a 3-0 victory. What would happen with backup Pheonix Copley in net tonight?
