On Sunday night at 8 p.m. on the east coast and 5 p.m. pacific time, the Washington Capitals will take on the Vegas Golden Knights in a rematch of the 2018 Stanley Cup Finals. You can catch the game on Monumental Sports Network.

#3 Connor McMichael
Connor McMichael notched two goals on Friday night which marked his fourth multi goal game of the season. His second goal of the night stood as the game winner on Friday night over the Colorado Avlanche to kick off the three game road trip.
Through games played Nov. 15, Connor McMichael's 12 goals not only lead the Caps but also rank tied for second in the NHL. His 11 goals at even strength and five on five lead the NHL. His 12 goals are tied for the seventh most through the first 16 games of a season in franchise history.
To put that in perspective, Alex Ovechkin has done this five times in his illustrious career. Peter Bondra did it once. And so did Alexander Semin.
