The Washington Capitals are currently on the ice for their morning skate as we are writing this one ahead of their game against the Vegas Golden Knights. Here’s how to watch and bet on the game. Read on to find out who the impact Caps players to watch will be tonight.

Per Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post, Charlie Lindgren was not on the ice due to “body maintenance”. Darcy Kuemper along with video coach Brett Leonhardt were the two goalies on the ice. Either Leonhardt backs up or there will be some type of emergency call up coming.

Dylan Strome played in his 100th career game as a Washington Capital this past Wednesday at the Los Angeles Kings. Since joining the Capitals ahead of last season, Strome ranks first on the team in games played with 101 and second in goals with 31, assists with 44, and points with 75.

Strome is the team leader in goals this season with eight. In his career against Vegas, he has recorded 13 points in 16 games with five goals and eight assists. Strome centered the second line the other night in Anaheim against the Ducks with Connor McMichael to his left and Anthony Mantha to his right. He had a goal in the Capitals last game with the Golden Knights on Nov. 14 at Capital One Arena.
