The Washington Capitals are back in action tonight against the Colorado Avalanche. Here’s how to watch the game since many of you might have questions on how to watch it with the game being on Hulu and ESPN plus.
The Caps will look to bounce back from an overtime loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning from Saturday night. There are a ton of storylines heading into this game. Former Capital Andre Burakovsky is back in his old arena for the second time. Nathan MacKinnon also is cleared to play after testing negative for COVID-19.
Here are the top 3 players to watch tonight.
#3 Garnet Hathaway
Garnet Hathaway is playing in his 300th career game tonight. It will be his 125th game as a member of the Capitals after he previously played in 175 games for the Calgary Flames. Over the last four seasons, Hathaway ranks ninth among forwards in hits with 571 and tied for 68th in blocked shots with 112, all of this despite ranking 264th in ice time (2,224:50).
Hathaway has averaged 2.17 drawn penalties per 60 minutes of five on five play over the last five seasons. That ranks first in the NHL among players with at least 200 games played during that stretch.
