Capitals vs. Rangers Game Thread 10/29

On Saturday evening, the Caps' five-game winning streak was rather unceremoniously broken by the Tampa Bay Lightning (and especially by Andrei Vasilevskiy). They'll look to start a new game against another tough opponent – and one they know pretty well, between division battles and last year's short-lived but fairly lively playoff opening round. That’s right, the New York Rangers are in town for a Metro Division game.

First some admin stuff:

• WHO: Capitals vs. Rangers
• Where: Capital One Arena
• When: 7:30 p.m
• How to watch: ESPN
• How to listen: 106.7, Capitals Radio 24/7

For the first time since Game 2, the lineup will look a little different with Mike Sgarbossa moving up. Coach Carbery was a bit cautious about who would be between the posts though, so we'll just assume he goes with that seesaw and it's Logan Thompson's net tonight.

Protas – Strome – Ovechkin
McMichael-Dubois-Wilson
Vrana – Sgarbossa – Mangiapane
Duhaime – Dowd – Raddysh

Chychrun-Carlson
Fehervary – McIlrath
Sandin-van Riemsdyk

Thompson
Lindgren

On this day in 1974… In the evening the hats were off again!
