We have back to back games at home tonight against the Wild and then back to NJ against the Devils.

The Devils are playing great and it is a shame that we will have played them two times in two weeks without the services of Alex Ovechkin. Or maybe Alex will play - one never ones - but I don’t think he will but maybe, maybe not? Four weeks? Two weeks? This weekend? Stay tuned.

As noted, we are positioned well. We only want Alex to come and play when he honestly feels 100% and has no lingering issues. Patience is a virtue for all of us here and our issue is keeping Alex from being so revved up that he demands to play when he is only 90% recovered. It is a long season. We are winning games with Alex in the press box. We will always be conservative when it comes to the health of Alex Ovechkin.

See this blog post about the Devils vs. Pens last night.

The Wild play like the Devils too with a heavy D oriented system playing tough against your own turnovers and hoping to score on the power play. It should be interesting match-ups. See you all tonight. Rock the Red! Go Caps!
