Pregame Notes: Washington Capitals vs. LA Kings

The Caps have a big one tonight as the defending Stanley Cup Champion is in DC. 

Other Notes:

*Anze Kopitar is one of the best centers in the NHL, I think Barry Trotz will probably put Eric Fehr on Kopitar.

*Braden Holtby should be back in net for the Caps tonight after having Sunday off.

*Alex Ovechkin got back on track against St.Louis and needs to continue that if the Caps are going to work tier way out of this slump.

*The Caps defense will have to be good tonight, though the Kings have been having their own troubles of late they are still the defending Champs.

*Caps need more from their PowerPlay, not scoring on a 5 minute PowerPlay against the Blues was one of the things that cost the Caps on Sunday.

*The PK has still been pretty good, againt the Caps need to try to stay out of the box tonight.

*I expect the Caps will see Jonathan Quick in net for the Kings tonight.

*Overall this game is huge for the Caps, with the Rangers win the Caps are two points behind again. Regardless 2 points would put the Florida Panthers even farther. However, if the Caps continue to slow down then the Panthers may be able to make it a race. Have to protect the house tonight. 


Gametime: 7 p.m on CSN
