: Alan Dobbins/RMNB WASHINGTON, DC In the biggest Logan Thompson news of the day, the Capitals' starting goaltender has chosen a goal song. Thompson, now playing his second season in Washington, has selected Olivia Dean's pop hit Man I Need for his signature tune, as shown on the Capital One Arena scoreboard during warmups on Wednesday. Capitals players have been able to choose their own goal songs since the 2019-20 season, but Thompson had thus far gone without one.

"The expectation is to go to Milan and win the gold medal,"

I didn't talk to the team after the game. I'll talk to them in the morning. But it is more of the same. We have to find a way to get some pucks to fall in for us. We had to execute better on the chances that we do get. We had some really clean looks in really good spots, and we either missed the net or hit the goaltender in the chest. That is kind of the way it has been going.

The biggest day of the World Juniors Group Stage almost always ends up being the finale on New Year's Eve, and it's no different this year. The Toronto Maple Leafs boast two prospects playing at this year's WJC, those being Canada's Ben Danford and Sweden's Victor Johansson, both of whom have helped their teams to undefeated records so far in the tournament's round-robin stage.

Kendall Coyne Schofield scored her league-leading sixth and seventh goals, while Nicole Hensley shone in net with a 31-save outing as the Minnesota Frost topped the Sceptres 5-1 in Toronto Tuesday. Katy Knoll, Britta Curl-Salemme and Grace Zumwinkle also scored for Minnesota (4-1-1-2). Taylor Heise had three assists. Daryl Watts had the lone goal for Toronto (4-0-2-3). Elaine Chuli made 14 saves, with Raygan Kirk turning away seven shots in relief in the third period.

William Nylander is day-to-day still, so we will see. He is doing better, but he is still day-to-day. He is out today. Auston Matthews will be a game-time decision (due to the injury from the blocked shot in Detroit). Chris Tanev has a lower-body injury. It is not the same injury as before. He is getting evaluated today, so we will have a better timeline tomorrow or later today.
