Brett Connolly misses practice due to illness, is game time decision against Lightning
Headline photo: @Capitals
Like a band on tour, the Caps flu bug has landed at its latest venue: Brett Connolly’s body.
Connolly missed the Capitals’ morning skate on Saturday and will be a game-time decision against the Tampa Bay Lightning.
Conno is the fourth Caps player to miss time due to this illness including Carl Hagelin, Evgeny Kuznetsov, and TJ Oshie. Hagelin and Oshie both missed games.
Andre Burakovsky replaced Connolly on the third line while Carl Hagelin flanked Lars Eller on the left wing.
Connolly is one of six Capitals players who have scored over 20 goals, lighting the lamp 22 times this season.
After being an infrequent scratch, the third-line forward has played in every game this season.

Let’s GO CAPS!

Let's GO CAPS! I hope Conno feels better in time, we need him.

No Goal, Goal, No Goal: Double-Challenge Results in Lost Flyers Goal Both the Flyers and Penguins challenged the same play, resulting in a no goal call that was overturned for interference before being waved off for offside
Mar 18, 2019 | Coach's Challenge, News, NHL, Situation Room
We’ve seen multiple Coach’s Challenges in the same game before, but never on the same play that was initially a no-goal.
Both benches got a chance to throw their challenge flags on Sunday when the Pittsburgh Penguins and Philadelphia Flyers squared off.
https://www.nhl.com/video/embed/situation-room-phi-vs-pit/t-277781830/c-67001403
Philadelphia’s Claude Giroux put the puck past Pens netminder Matt Murray. The goal was immediately waved off by referee Dan O’Rourke due to goaltender interference. Flyers head coach Scott Gordon challenged the play, prompting O’Rourke and fellow ref Pierre Lambert to head to the scorer’s table and don their headsets. Review of the play showed that the stick contact with Murray came not from Flyers winger Jakub Voracek, but from Penguins defenseman Jack Johnson. Incidental contact was made, but not enough to disallow the goal.
The call on the ice was overturned. Flyers goal.
For a moment, at least.
With the goal on the board, now it was Pens’ bench boss Mike Sullivan’s turn to issue a challenge, this time that the play was offside. Replays showed that Jakub Voracek was a step ahead of the play, with his trailing skate entering the offensive zone ahead of the puck.
The goal was waved off.
<blockquote>“They said no goal and I saw the replay,” said Giroux. “It was a goal. Then they put it on the big screen, offside. Then, obviously, it wasn’t a goal. It was a lot of up and down there.”</blockquote> Sullivan is in favor of the challenge process, which certainly benefited his team on Sunday.
<blockquote>“I like it,” Sullivan said. “The intent is to try and get the calls right. Refereeing in this league is a difficult job because things happen so fast. The intent is to try to get the call right, so I do think it’s beneficial.”</blockquote> It was back and forth and, as Flyers goalie Carter Hart put it “a little bit crazy.”
Ultimately, though, they got the call right.
No goal.
Right?

OK - if the Caps win this game, they go on to win the Cup - guaranteed!!!
Caps win 4-3 with goals from Ovi, Kuzy, Hagelin and the game winner from Burakovsky!
