Capitals news:

CSN Washington: Can Caps live with rotating top-line right wing? The Jets know plenty about rotating but the Caps are pretty set as they try to fill the spot from within.

Washington Post: Backstrom keeps Caps’ foes guessing, teammates on their toes. I was watching the Caps/Pens game when he feathered that pass over to Joel Ward for what turned out to be the game winning goal and it was a thing of beauty.

Working hard on a daily basis to provide the latest Winnipeg Jets and Manitoba Moose news for our readers and listeners. I also appear on the Illegal Curve Hockey Show every Saturday on our YouTube channel as well as the Illegal Curve Post-Game Show after every single Jets game. And I occasionally jump in the play-by-play booth at Canada Life to provide colour analysis during Manitoba Moose games.
