Game Notes
WSH
?Copley (10-5-3, 2.98 GAA, .903 Sv%) will likely start for the Capitals
?Washington played San Jose last night, losing 7-6 in OT. The Caps blew a 6-4 lead in the 3rd and gave up the tying goal with less than a second to go in the game
?Ovi scored a hat trick in that game to give him a 6-goal lead in the scoring race. He's currently on pace to score 60 goals for the 2nd time in his career
?Not all is well for the reigning Stanley Cup champs though. They're on pace to record less points than they did last season and are 0-4-2 in their last 6 games. Sound familiar?
TOR
?Andersen (21-11-1, 2.54 GAA, .922 Sv%) will likely start for the Leafs
?As you may have heard, Matthews and Marner were on the same line at practice on Monday. Babcock was non-commital as to how long this would last, but unless Babcock does a 180 at the morning skate tomorrow expect them to at least start the game together
?Gardiner skated by himself on Tuesday to test out his sore back. No word on if he'll be playing but I'd guess he sits another one. Especially since the team is off for 8 days after this game
?No update on Johnsson who left Sunday's game with a concussion. Expect Trevor Moore to be called up in his absence
?Last game for the Leafs before the All-Star break and their bye-week. A win would really ease the minds of those fans who are panicking about the teams struggles lately. A loss will literally cause this fan base to descend into a state of anarchy and chaos the likes of which has never been seen before
