The Capitals face the Penguins tonight in the first game since Crosby was knocked out by Matt Niskanen and suffered another concussion. This is a game that I expect to get ugly, especially with a big lead for either team.

Meanwhile, Randy Carlyle has been taunting the Oilers, because, his team won a game and now trail the series by less than before. Good job, Randy. Good effort.

Tonight’s Schedule  
(all times EDT)

7:30 PM  
Capitals @ Penguins on CBC

10:00 PM  
Ducks @ Oilers on SN
