The Washington Capitals are set to play game two of their opening round playoff series this Saturday afternoon against the New York Rangers, seeking a win to maintain postseason viability.
Wednesday's 4-3 upset loss in the playoff opener put the Capitals down 1-0 in the series, costing the team effective home advantage in the process. In a late move, ineffective game one goalie Jose Theodore will not start game two, replaced by Simeon Varlamov.
Theodore and his teammates had an extended period to recover their bearings from game one as NBC picked up game two for a national television broadcast. Start time from Verizon Center was thus set for 1 p.m. EDT on WRC/NBC/4 & WJFK/106.7.
