""They limit all the things that you try to do offensively," Carbery said Monday morning. "They're usually right at the top or they are at the top of those statistics. Limiting time and space, not giving you high-danger opportunities. Very rare to get an odd-man rush against them. Usually, they're not going to shoot themselves in the foot. They're going to make you have to earn everything you get against them.""
""We just looked at the schedule, spoke as a staff, consulted on where we felt like we needed to get Chuckie back into the net,""
The Los Angeles Kings arrive with a 9-1-2 road record and 24 points, leading the Pacific Division and ranking fifth in the NHL. The Washington Capitals have 18 points, two wins in their past 10 games, and sit near the bottom of the league standings. Coach Spencer Carbery says the Kings limit time and space, suppress high-danger opportunities and rarely allow odd-man rushes, forcing opponents to earn chances. Darcy Kuemper is expected to start for Los Angeles after a prior shutout of Washington, while Charlie Lindgren will start for the Capitals. A three-games-in-four-days stretch factors into planned goalie usage.
