The Canes open a home and home in DC.
After scuffling around for most of the game on Sunday, the Canes rescued 2 points in OT over the Habs. They’re 3 points up on them, 5 up on Columbus, 4 behind Pittsburgh and the Islanders and 5 behind the Caps, with at least a game in hand on all of them. The Canes PP has been Petrie , 2 for the last 29 chances and both goals came in the same game, against Nashville. I suspect we’ll see Mrazek in goal.
The Caps are 6-3-1 in their last 10 games and are coming off a 3-1 win over the Flyers on Sunday. Ovechkin is closing in on another 50 goal season with 48, but he’s on a 4 game goalless streak and only has 4 in his last 14. They have 5 others with more than 20. Backstrom and Carlson each have more than 50 assists. Holtby hasn’t been great in goal, with 2.90 GAA and a .909 Save %. The Caps are 10th on the PP at 21.1% and 24th on the PK at 79.0%.
This is the one and only National TV game, NBCSN with The Mighty Forslund on the call. Mike Maniscalco will handle radio play by play wth Tripp.
