I really like that animation gif of Karlsson passing off the puck and then checking Ovechkin to the ice when Ovi was ready to deliver one of his offensive zone slams (he's not exactly a powerful backchecker) -- when was that from? Way to go EK65 -- got rid of the puck, took out someone considerably bigger and stronger, and skated away.
The biggest game of the year since mid-afternoon tea and biscuits.
No changes in the lineup, Hammond starts.
Last two games have ended 2-1 in the Caps favor, so time to flip the script. Washington can clinch with a regulation win, so they will have some pressure on themselves as well.
