Caps at Stars pregame: Bounce backHeadline photo: Jerome Miron
The Washington Capitals have the opportunity to immediately bounce back from their very poor showing against the St. Louis Blues on Thursday Night. That opportunity comes against the Dallas Stars, who the Caps have not beat in regulation, in Dallas since October 17, 1995.
We have another 8 PM start on our hands and you can catch tonight’s game on NBCSWA+ as superstar Sam Dekker and the Wizards have the Heat in Miami tonight on the main channel. As always you can stream all of their pregame, in-game, and postgame coverage via the My Teams app on all of your usual streaming devices. I will have your recap.
Jamie Benn
The Stars will be without their captain and third leading scorer tonight due to this hit from Miles Wood.
