Caps at Senators pregame: Hurray for Twixtmas

Headline photo: Cara Bahniuk

So we’re all in that shapeless, languid time between Christmas and the new year, but not for long. The penultimate Caps game of 2018 is tonight as the Caps visit the Ottawa Senators, who are happy to announce they are only the third most dysfunctional team in the league this week, thank you very much to Philly and Dallas.

Attune your CRT television to NBCSWA at 7 PM or just point your new smartphone to this here streaming link. Chris will deliver your recap, and Ian has the night off, so expect some hi-jinx.


Storylines
* psst… Ovi hasn’t scored in four games.
* Matt Niskanen skated this morning but is not expected to play tonight. His status is day-to-day, so I guess no broken bones. Yay?
* Devante Smith-Pelly is a treasure. Best story of the week.
* WJCs are happening now in case you need some Alex^2 action.
* Ian vs the ice resurfacer
* Alex Chiasson got hurt in Edmonton the other night. I haven’t checked recently, so let’s just assume he’s got 68 goals on the season so far. That sounds right.
* Claude Giroux has filed a goal-of-the-year candidate.
* Grab a bag of popcorn and delight in the anguish of the Dallas Stars. Mmmm yummy.   

ArJunaZ:
 Marcus Hogberg in net for Sens tonight!
Tough 1st NHL start for a goalie, against the Stanley Cup champions!
 8-0

Mickstix:

Who? That pond hockey team of push overs from DC??  :snicker:


Good to read that Niskanen took the ice this morning! Kinda thought Orpik was ready, but I guess they're giving him another couple days.

--- End quote ---
I wouldn’t bet on Orpik comin back anytime soon.  He has been known to take “vacations” and miss large portions of seasons throughout his career, from injuries others have not been out that long for.

Maacoshark:
   Wow Bowey might be getting top 4 minutes.
