The Washington Capitals are gearing up for a first-round matchup against the pesky Montreal Canadiens tomorrow, and the team has provided important updates following morning skate.
As it stands, the Washington Capitals are limping into tomorrow's game against the Habs.
While the Capitals are considered strong favourites to win the series, the Montreal Canadiens are to a team to take lightly.
With Washington's roster currently plagued by injuries, the odds have slightly shifted.
The Capitals will need to be sharp and focused if they hope to avoid falling behind early in the series.
That said, morning practice is currently underway - let's take a look at what's going on:
