Who To Watch
Tom Wilson has the Capitals’ only goal this season and also led with five hits in Wednesday’s season-opening loss to the Boston Bruins.
Alex Ovechkin is three goals away from 900 in his career, and would be the first in NHL history to join that exclusive club (regular season goals).
Matthew Schaefer is set to play in his second NHL game. The No. 1 overall pick impressed in his debut and became the youngest defenseman in NHL history to record his first point in his first game.
What gives that Caps games are no longer available on YouTubeTV? I just happen to cough up $180 per year for Monumental anyway, so I can access the games, but is this just the Leonsis family being greedy?
