Pre-cap: Capitals vs. All-Stars de conférence orientale

Thanks to Japers for the assist.

Washington Capitals (27-12-3, first in SE, second in EC, last game 3-0 loss to Steve Mason)
vs.
Montreal Canadiens (24-10-6, second in NE, fourth in EC, last game 6-2 win over Toronto)

The last time...
The Capitals and Jose Theodore blanked Montreal 3-0 and then fell to Columbus the very next day 3-0. Kinda strange how the Blue Jackets just beat us 3-0 again and now we face the Montreal Canadiens the next day.

YoungStars snub!
Nicklas Backstrom will be on the sophmores team but Karl Alzner will not be on the rookie team. I can understand this as he hasn't played the entire season and he plays a stay-at-home style of defense. Not really the type of play people want to see in a ASG. Either way, still a snub.

And for your latest suspension
During the Habs vs. Maple Leafs game, Mikhail Grabvoski gets three games for pushing an official.
