I still think the Crapitals are frauds, so let's go out and beat them for a third time this season. Let's make all those Crapital fans sad.

What to Watch For

Didn’t We Just Do This?


Two wins and a loss. That is about all that has changed for the Devils in the week since they last played the Capitals. Alex Ovechkin is still out after suffering a fractured leg. Jakob Chychrun, who scored a goal and recorded an assist in Friday’s game against the Islanders, has found a home in Washington. Connor McMichael, who had three assists against the Islanders, and Aliaksei Protas are still the surging young forwards to watch out for. Logan Thompson has played exceptionally well, tallying nine wins and one loss. Saturday’s game will be the fourth and final time the Devils play the Capitals in the 2024-2025 regular season. It’s odd to have the season series completed by the end of November.

I still have a little bit of fan damage from that 5 goal 2nd period against early in the season.

Allen has been awesome otherwise... Very steady.

Similar to last year tbh, he had some clunkers when he came in but was overall good. I was one of the bigger advocates in keeping Kakkonen due to him being younger and some really good starts but definitely wonder how much worse we'd be with that swap this year.

I know a lot has been said about the schedule but to complete a season series with a division foe before dec is absolutely insane considering that the playoff format is division heavy

It’s time for the pretender Crapitals to come crashing back down to earth , starting tonight . Everyone of their players are playing well over their heads . It can’t last all season . Time to put these clowns in their place. I’m so sick of McMicheal and Chychrun. Both need a good face punching
