Red Wings @ Capitals - Pregame

January 31st, 2009

Good afternoon to you from a raucus Verizon Center in Washington, DC. The Detroit Red Wings (31-10-7) are in town for a tussle with the Washington Capitals (30-15-4). Detroit comes in to today’s road contest boasting the second best record in hockey. The Capitals, thanks largely to their success at home, are ranked third in the East.

The lineups were just announced. Defenders Tom Poti and Shaone Morrisonn will be on the ice to begin the game. Nicklas Backstrom will center the first line out this afternoon. Tomas Feischmann and Eric Fehr will work alongside him.

Today’s game should serve as a nice stick for the Capitals. Destined for the playoffs and playing like a potential cup contender, Washington is going to have to play teams like Detroit down the tough to enter the post season with the type of confidence that it will take to get deep into the post season.
