"The Washington Capitals have traveled north to play the Montreal Canadiens in the back half of a back-to-back. The Caps are riding a two-game winning streak after downing the Edmonton Oilers at Capital One Arena on Wednesday night. Unfortunately, it sounds as if the Capitals did not come out of that victory unscathed, though. Head coach Spencer Carbery hinted pregame in Montreal that the team may be dealing with some changes on defense against the Habs."
"Charlie Lindgren will make his seventh start of the season after he made 30 saves on 31 shots faced in a 2-1 victory over the Los Angeles Kings last Monday. He is 2-3-1 on the season with a 3.16 goals-against average, a .893 save percentage, and one shutout. In five career appearances against his former team, Lindgren is 3-1 with a 2.51 goals-against average and a .899 save percentage."
