The Washington Capitals welcomed their crunchy West Coast cousins the Vancouver Canucks to Capital One Arena for a weekend matinee. Would it be a comedy, or a horror?

Ten more notes on the game:
1. Washington would take the ice once again without forwards Nicklas Backstrom, Carl Hagelin, or Nic Dowd.
