#2 Control the opposition who is on the second leg of a back to back
Once again like clockwork the Capitals are playing a team that is coming off a back to back. Seattle spent Saturday afernoon in Philadelphia against the Flyers. It's actually a three game road trip for Seattle.
It begain Thursday night with a 5-3 loss to the Nashville Predators. Then on Saturday afternoon they trounced the Flyers in the City of Brotherly Love by a final of 4-1.
In that contest the Flyers got three goals in the second period and former Capital goalie Philipp Grubauer picked up the win with 23 saves. It was his first game in action since Jan. 28 and it ended a six game losing streak (0-5-1).
For Beauvillier, he will get the taste of playing in front of the home fans at Capital One Arena for the first time. The Caps are his sixth NHL team in the last three seasons and this is the fourth team he has joined in the middle of the year in the last three seasons.
Carbery added, "We'll put him with (Nic) Dowd and Dewey (Brandon Duhaime) right out of the gate. Which you may look at and say, 'Well, he's a fourth line wing.' But as everybody knows, Dowd's line doesn't play much like a fourth line. They play a lot more minutes than that, and Dowd and Dewey are really good players to play with to get him integrated into our group. They talk a ton, not only on the ice, but off the ice, on the bench. So I think it's a good starting point for Anthony and we'll see where it goes from there."
