Tonight's Lines: No Brooks Laich; Caps Roll with the Same Lineup

Japers' Rink — While there was some buzz about Brooks Laich possibly returning to the lineup (and some about Joey Crabb or Aaron Volpatti possibly getting a sweater), none of that came to pass, so expect these familiar lines and pairings with Braden Holtby in net: Marcus Johansson - Nicklas Backstrom - Alex Ovechkin Eric Fehr - Mike Ribeiro - Troy Brouwer Jason Chimera - Mathieu Perreault - Joel Ward Matt Hendricks - Jay Beagle - Tom Wilson Karl Alzner - Mike Green John Erskine - John Carlson Jack Hillen - Steven Oleksy That would leave Jeff Schultz, Wojtek Wolski, Tom Poti and Volpatti as healthy scr...

Caps at Rangers, Game 6: Live updates and analysis

Washington Post — 07:05 pm Neil Greenberg Rangers win Game 6, 1-0 New York evened its Eastern Conference quarterfinals series with Washington, beating the Capitals 1-0. The only goal New York would need came midway through the first, when Derick Brassard beat Braden Holtby on a deflection off a pass from defenseman John Moore. Washington got beat by Henrik Lundqvist, who stopped all 27 shots he faced, and by undisciplined play, giving New York five power-play opportunities. It is the first time since March 22, 2011 that New York would have a shutout and not commit a penalty. We'll be back with another l...

Game Thread - Washington Capitals vs New York Rangers

Habs Eyes On The Prize — The Washington Capitals are on the verge of eliminating the New York Rangers, and they're doing it largely without the help of Alex Ovechkin. In a tightly fought defensive series, Henrik Lundqvist and Braden Holtby have been the real stars, and Ovechkin's 1 goal and 1 assist is matched by offensive superstars like Karl Alzner and Dan Girardi. No player in the series has more than 2 goals, and only Derick Brassard has more than 4 points, with 6. It's a tough call who to cheer for in this series. Washington has the completely unlikable Mike Ribeiro on their roster, while the Rangers are ...

Braden Holtby's puck-handling mistake doesn't worry Capitals

Washington Post — With a little less than four minutes remaining in the first period of Game 4 Wednesday night, Capitals goaltender Braden Holtby came out to play the puck low in the right faceoff circle. It was a routine play for Holtby, who handles the puck and is relied upon by his coaches and teammates to serve essentially as a third defenseman, retrieving dump-ins and helping to speed breakouts.
