Sometimes ya gotta shame em' into playing well. Whatever works!
Rest up! Off until Tuesday, 7pm.
I'm going to carry that theme a little further, Mick.
Actually, a lot further. I saw a short time ago that the Caps had played more back-to-backs than any other team in the league, and of course, they finished another one last night. BUT now, the Caps have only one more back-to-back between now and the end of March. Their schedule in April is a little challenging, but until then schedule compression shouldn't be an issue. This is important for a guy like Ovechkin, whose minutes Carbery is controlling more than at any previous point in his career. Hopefully, between his 16-game hiatus and managed TOI from here on out, he will be relatively fresh when the playoffs roll around.
