Capitals beat writer @ The Washington Post
Pierre-Luc Dubois had surgery on Friday to address injuries to his abdominal and adductor muscles, the Caps announced this morning. He’s expected to miss three to four months.

Logan Thompson took responsibility for Tampa’s third goal. He said it looked like Hagel sort of fanned on it, so he made a mental mistake and got handcuffed on the shot. This was the first time this year he’s given up more than two goals.

John Carlson ties the game at 2-2. Slapshot from above the circle off the zone entry went under Vasilevskiy's arm, he thought he had it squeezed, and it dropped and trickled past the goal line. Hilarious goal but they all count the same

Logan Thompson just headed toward the bench with no weight on his left leg after getting bowled over inside his net. But everyone can stand down on their concern, it's just his skate blade. Getting it fixed now

Predictable storyline for the Caps, at this point. They were by far the better team at five-on-five in the first period, but gave up a goal on the penalty kill and couldn't score on the power play

Now that he’s feeling much better, Ethen Frank agrees that his collision with Mikko Rantanen in Dallas — can’t even call it a hit from Rantanen, Frank just ran into him and went down — was funny. “I found out the hard way why they call him Moose,” Frank told me.

Spencer Carbery says Sonny Milano will come out of the lineup tonight for the Caps and that they’ll have some roster moves to make this afternoon. Appeared based on the skate that Ethen Frank will draw in; he needs to be activated from IR to play. Logan Thompson in net.

Charlie Lindgren in goal tonight for the Caps, as expected. Spencer Carbery said he expects the lineup to be status quo, but that they are "working through some things" so it's a touch up in the air.

Like his Capitals, Alex Ovechkin has started slow. Both still believe.
The Capitals’ captain has two goals in 12 games. The streaky scorer is confident that goals will come.
