"The Caps got a bounceback performance on Tuesday night against the Stars, doing pretty much everything right except scoring a goal (...knew they forgot something) - but a much better effort than what they showcased a few nights earlier. They'll need to show that same resilience as they prepare for yet another Friday-Saturday back-to-back set, this time starting at home against the Islanders before heading up to Buffalo."
"Sounds like Rasmus Sandin remains out through at least the weekend, while Dylan Strome was a regular participant in this morning's skate...if he's back, expect the lines to look like this (and if not, they'll be what they were last game): Ovechkin - Strome - LeonardProtas - Dubois - WilsonMcMichael - Lapierre - SourdifDuhaime - Dowd - Beauvillier Fehervary - CarlsonChychrun - RoyChisholm - van Riemsdyk"
Washington produced a stronger overall performance versus the Stars but failed to convert chances into a goal. The team must carry that resilience into a Friday-Saturday back-to-back that begins at Capital One Arena against the New York Islanders, then continues in Buffalo. The Islanders have lost three straight games and will seek to end that skid. Game information: Capitals vs. Islanders at Capital One Arena, 7:00 p.m., televised on Monumental and NHL Network, radio on 106.7 and Capitals Radio 24/7. Rasmus Sandin remains out through the weekend. Dylan Strome skated and could return to the projected forward lines and defensive pairings if available.
