"Now, it's not two points. They must exact revenge on Jacob Trouba for injuring Ryan Leonard last month. Trouba, who has escaped suspension somehow on like 20 bad hits, needs to learn a lesson - as well as the rest of the league - you don't hit our players like this. Dylan McIlrath is in - surely he will approach Trouba quickly in this one - while the Capitals will be without Tom Wilson and Aliaksei Protas due to injury."
"Spencer Carbery says Capitals not interested in payback for Jacob Trouba's hit on Ryan Leonard as Dylan McIlrath will play in just his sixth game this season. Usually, I'm not this thirsty for face-punching, but tonight, I hope someone on the Capitals makes me proud. Puck drop for today's game is scheduled for a little after 7:00 pm. Joe Beninati and Craig Laughlin will have the call on Monumental Sports Network."
Washington hosts Anaheim with revenge the priority after Jacob Trouba's hit injured Ryan Leonard last month. Trouba avoided suspension despite multiple dangerous hits, and the Capitals inserted enforcer Dylan McIlrath to confront him while missing Tom Wilson and Aliaksei Protas. The Capitals dress 11 forwards and seven defensemen and consider using McIlrath on the wing to force contact with Trouba. Head coach Spencer Carbery publicly declined to pursue payback despite McIlrath's presence. Expectations among some fans favor a physical response. Puck drop is a little after 7:00 pm with Joe Beninati and Craig Laughlin calling the game.
