Nic Dowd gave the Capitals a 1-0 series with the overtime winner in Game 1 Saturday night. It was an eventful game, with the back-and-forth scoring and Washington start Vitek Vanecek leaving after suffering a lower-body injury. Head coach Peter Laviolette called Vanecek “day to day” and Craig Anderson, who came in relief, and Pheonix Copley were the two goalies on the ice during Monday’s skate.
Goaltender Ilya Samsonov and forward Evgeny Kuznetsov, both recently on the COVID-19 protocols list, did skate but were extras. Neither are expected to play Game 2.
