"After getting shellacked 5-1 by Winnipeg on Saturday, the Washington Capitals will complete their frigid two-game road streak in St. Paul against the Minnesota Wild. The Wild come into the game riding a major high after acquiring Norris Trophy-winning defenseman Quinn Hughes. "He's a human one-man breakout," Alan May remarked on the Capitals pregame show on Monumental Sports Network. "He's as good as anyone I've seen," his former coach, Bruce Boudreau, added."
"During his Wild debut on Sunday, Hughes received a standing ovation from an electric crowd at the end of warmups and later scored in the team's 6-2 win over the Boston Bruins at Grand Casino Arena. The Capitals will get a second crack at Hughes in a Wild uniform and are making a few changes ahead of the game. Sonny Milano will get back into the lineup in favor of Bogdan Trineyev."
After a 5-1 loss to Winnipeg, the Washington Capitals travel to St. Paul to play the Minnesota Wild, who recently acquired Norris Trophy-winning defenseman Quinn Hughes. Hughes earned a standing ovation during warmups and scored in his Wild debut during a 6-2 win over Boston. Capitals adjust their lineup: Sonny Milano returns in place of Bogdan Trineyev and Connor McMichael moves to the fourth line. Minnesota native Charlie Lindgren will start in goal for Washington against Filip Gustavsson. Puck drop is scheduled a little after 8:00 pm with Joe Beninati, Craig Laughlin, and TJ Oshie on the call. Early in the game Vladimir Tarasenko scored to make it 1-0 Wild.
