Preview: Make sure to check out Justin’s goalie preview of Braden Holtby. Also, make sure to check out Suit’s systems analysis and my overall preview (combined in one post due to time constraints) here. That should give you everything you need to know about the Caps and how the Rangers match up.

As for this game, Brian Boyle is a game time decision, and will play for Steve Eminger if he can go. Dubinsky is definitely out for tonight.

Boyle is in, Eminger is out. Dubinsky is still out.

Crazy Thought: Kreider gets a hat trick?
