Live updates: Washington Capitals vs Montreal Canadiens at Capital One Arena
"After completing their Mentors' Trip and going 1-1, the Washington Capitals are back home for three consecutive games at Capital One Arena. They'll begin their homestand with a matchup against the upstart Montreal Canadiens who are 7-2-1 in their last 10. The Habs have gotten sublime performances from second-year players, Lane HUtson and Ivan Demidov, who are among their top scorers."
"The Capitals are currently ravaged by injury and will be without Justin Sourdif (upper body), Tom Wilson (lower body), Jakob Chychrun (illness), and Pierre-Luc Dubois. Connor McMichael will skate at center - please, note every Capitals line has been jumbled due to the changes. Logan Thompson will start in net and oppose Samuel Montembeault. Puck drop for today's game is scheduled for a little after 7 pm. Joe Beninati and Craig Laughlin will have the call on Monumental Sports Network."
