Charlie Lindgren first goalie off the ice after Capitals morning skate and starting vs. Red Wings tonight.

Sonny Milano remains on the ice with Tom Wilson (suspended) and Ethan Bear, so looks like his upper body injury will keep him out tonight

Milano has not been ruled out tonight vs. DET, per Carbery. "We'll see how the skate went this morning and then make a decision this afternoon," he said. #ALLCAPS

Stephen Whyno of the AP with the updates,

Offense was lacking in Detroit's 1-0 loss at Nashville.

Alex DeBrincat: "Obviously, you can't win a game when you score zero goals."

via The Daily Faceoff,

Finnie wrapped up the 2023-24 campaign with the Kamloops Blazers in the Western Hockey League (WHL) where he tallied 19 goals and 40 assists for a career-high 59 points in 62 games. Finnie led the Blazers in goals, assists and points. Kamloops finished last in the WHL this season, one year after hosting the 2023 KIA Memorial Cup that saw Dallas Stars rookie Logan Stankoven and Anaiem Ducks rookie Olen Zellweger showcase their talents.

The Lethbridge, Alberta product was drafted No. 201 overall by the Red Wings in the 2023 NHL Draft. During his draft year, Finnie registered nine goals and 26 assists for 35 points in 64 games. It wasnt until the second half of the regular season that Finnie started to find the scoresheet consistently. At one point, Finnie was on a 15-game point streak where he collected eight goals and 14 assists for 22 points in that frame.

Can Debrincat finally score a goal?

OlderThanCheliosVPalmer

If he could elevate the puck above the goalie's elbow height he'd have at least another half dozen goals this year. I'd be a lot more pissed off about his lack of scoring if I wasn't so impressed with his strong defensive play. That's been a real surprise.

rwbillOlderThanChelios

He has a little spice to his game too, which I did not know.

Yeah I like his feistiness!
