The Washington Capitals will play their first game of the month of April tonight, hosting the Minnesota Wild at Capital One Arena. This will be the final of two meetings this season, where the Wild took down Capitals in a shootout back in January.
Vitek Vanecek and Cam Talbot are the expected starters for tonight, while Johan Larsson is expected to make his Capitals debut. Larsson’s last appearance was January 25th with the Coyotes and underwent a sports hernia surgery in early February. Connor McMichael is an expected healthy scratch for tonight’s contest.
This also looks like Connor McMichael is out of the lineup tonight vs Minnesota. https://t.co/UortRKzu4m

After five days off, the Capitals will look to get back in to the win column after taking a 6-1 beating last outing against the Hurricanes. Tom Wilson will try to extend his 5 game point streak while Kirill Kaprizov of the Wild is red hot on a 6 game goal streak.
The Capitals are 37-21-10 and 84 points, good for 4th in the Metropolitan division and the second wild card spot in the Eastern Conference. They currently hold a 13 point lead over the next best team, the New York Islanders.
