The Capitals packed their bags and headed to Raleigh after a sad loss to the Hurricanes on Thursday. We’ve got some reactions to that game and outlook for tonight.
Follow our guy Bryce who is at the game tonight’s!

The #Caps have recalled Travis Boyd from Hershey. Andre Burakovsky did not make the trip to Carolina due to illness.

Boyd was point-less in his two games with Washington earlier this season. He has 27 points in 37 games for Hershey (2nd on team) https://t.co/8Oj0VmqXNT

Lars Eller, on how the #Caps can bounce back in the second leg of their home-and-home with the #Canes:
"Have some more urgency and desperation in our game. I think that’s what was lacking tonight. The key for us tomorrow is to use this loss as fuel."#CapsCanes

We’ll be missing Isabelle for a few weeks. Have a great time!
So, some personal news:
Tonight's game will be the last one I cover for a little while. Caps are heading into the bye week, and I'm flying to Russia on Monday to work in WaPo's Moscow bureau through Feb. 9. I'm giddy at the opportunity to try something completely new to me.
