Game preview
The Washington Capitals are back home at Capital One Arena tonight for another “Regular-Season Game 7.” The Caps season (I know you’ve heard this before) could all come down to winning tonight’s game, a tilt against Metropolitan Division rival Philadelphia, in regulation.
The Flyers enter tonight’s game on an eight-game road winning streak, tying a franchise record. Their play of late has surged them back into the race for the final wild card spot in the Eastern Conference currently held by the Columbus Blue Jackets. Columbus has 88 points, the Flyers have 86 points, and our dear Capitals have 83.
Tom Wilson will play in his 900th career NHL game tonight, becoming the third-youngest player in Capitals history to reach the mark, which is kinda staggering when you think about it. To me, and sure, I’m a homer, but he is simply, already, one of the greatest Capitals players of all time and one of the best power forwards in NHL history.
David Kampf will prove that he is indeed a real person and make his Capitals debut after being acquired by the team via trade at the beginning of the month. Logan Thompson will get the start in net. Ethen Frank will be a healthy scratch.
Watch the game along with us on Monumental Sports Network. Joe Beninti and Craig Laughlin have the call. Should be a fun one!
