Your savory breakfast links:
- Previews of tonight’s visit to Denver from Vogs, Avalanche, NBCSW, Peerless, and NoVa Caps, and be sure to swing by our SB Nation pals over at Mile High Hockey for the view from behind enemy lines.
- With Toronto downing the Islanders last night, the thing that was pretty much a lock but that people were freaking out about anyway has officially happened: the Caps are playoff-bound yet again. [NBCSW, PHT]
- When they get there, whichever team they draw as a first-round matchup will be a tough one.
