6-4 redwings. How do we handle prosperity against a team we don’t perform well against? Big question.

The Caps are going to be in desperation mode, much like the Sabres were on Saturday. They play a physical game, led by Ovechkin and Wilson. Because, as you mention, the Isles have looked bad against them this season, I would look to shake things up a little. I would start Varly in goal as a reward for his good play in a losing cause against the Sabres. And I would even consider starting Ross Johnston, both for his physical play, and for whatever he can do to discourage Wilson from taking liberties with his hits. The only thing worse than the Isles losing again to the Caps in regulation would be losing and also suffering an injury to another key guy.

****Ducks for cover****.
