Merry Capsmas, friends.
Tonight, the Washington Capitals will play their final game before a three-day Christmas break against the New York Rangers – a team that is horrendous at home (5-10-3) and almost unbeatable away from Madison Square Garden (13-6-1). If you want me to explain that, I can’t. Weird flex.
The Capitals will be without Tom Wilson (sick) and Rasmus Sandin (upper-body injury). Ryan Leonard is back, though, taking Ivan Miroshnichenko’s spot on the NHL roster.
Logan Thompson will return to the twine and oppose Igor Shesterkin.
Puck drop for today’s game is scheduled for a little after 7 pm. Joe Beninati and Craig Laughlin will have the call on Monumental Sports Network 2 — The Dos.
