Flummoxed by the Pens and Tristan Jarry in the opener, the Caps look to bounce back tonight in D.C. Only 17 shots were aimed at Jarry in the opener, and expect the Caps to create a few more chances tonight. Darcy Kuemper, a late scratch in goal and giving way to Charlie Lindgren in the opener, expected to be in the net tonight for Washington, while the4 Flames looked a step slow when losing to the same Pittsburgh 5-2 at PPG Paints on Saturday. Play Caps on Money Line

I feel like this should be 6. It will be the season debut for Caps No. 1 netminder Darcy Kuemper, who missed the opener for the birth of his first son. Little added motivation perhaps. He stopped 56 of 58 shots last year against Calgary. Washington looked rather inept offensively in the opener, a 4-0 loss to Pittsburgh. Alex Ovechkin has to slow down sometime.
