The Washington Capitals are in Buffalo tonight. They are deprived of Tom Wilson, who was injured against the Penguins on Friday. Vitek Vanecek will start in goal; he’s already beaten the Sabers six times in the calendar year.
Martin Fehervary will be play despite the headshot he took from Brock McGinn. The first pair defender warmed up and felt great afterwards.
Tonight’s game is on NBC Sports Washington Plus with the Wizards-Jazz game on NBC Sports Washington Proper.
