It definitely looks like Raddysh is in and Leonard is a scratch tonight. Coach won’t admit it yet, and no word on lines yet. I’d expect Protas to move up at some point as well, and this might be the opportunity.

OK - same prediction as last game. Caps 3 - Canes 1.  Protas, McMike and Wilson score.  Book it!
