After their win over Nashville, the Caps are back home and looking to pick up wins for the first time in almost a month. Yes, you read that right, they haven’t won two games in a row since December 20th and 22nd. On the bright side, they didn’t suffer two consecutive defeats during that period either, so…hurray?

Hopefully the puppy energy will bring some finesse to the ice and lead to a winning streak.

First some admin stuff:

• WHO: Capitals vs. Ducks

Ovechkin – Dubois – Protas
McMichael-Strome-Wilson
Raddysh – Eller – Frank
Duhaime-Dowd-Mangiapane

Sandin-Carlson
Chychrun-Roy
Fehervary – van Riemsdyk
