#1 The secretcy of Spencer Carbery as far as the rest of the lines go

Perhaps the biggest thing Spencer Carbery has brought that his coaching predecessor didn't is the secrecy of the lines. For example, his short comment on Ivan Miorshnichenko per El-Bashir

"I haven't liked pro in the games where he's played his off-side...I'd rather see him on the left side."
Miroshnichenko to El-Bashir

As far as more stats go, per Sportlogiq, McMichael is among the league leaders in breakaways. He had two in his last game. Among that list he's tied with Jordan Kyrou, Jared McCann, Kevin Fiala, and Tyler Seguin. He's only behind Jack Hughes whom he'll face tonight who has five. Travis Konecny leads the pack with six.

Puck drop is tonight at 7 p.m. on Monumental Sports Network and you can listen to the game on Caps Radio 24/7 as well as The Team 980 locally.
