ose Theodore will start in net tonight at Nassau Coliseum as the Eastern Conference-leading Caps go for a season-best seventh victory in a row. If they win, it will match the longest streak of Coach Bruce Boudreau's tenure (he's done it twice before).

Theodore will likely face Dwayne Roloson, who came off the ice first this morning, instead of Rick DiPietro (more on him later).

Based on the skate, the Caps' lineup appears to be unchanged.

i just watched jack hillen take ovies slapshot square in the mouth.. it was hard to watch but ovie is a class act, he went over to him right away.. not only is he better than crosby he is also alot classier.

^ovie was a class act after he hit hillen in the face. nice to see.

Had to miss the game but caught the highlights...sad to see somebody get hit in the face with the puck. Any Islanders fans have an update on him? Last I heard he was taken to the hospital.

Glad the Caps got the win, though I'm surprised at the way the Isles played. Definitely thought it would be closer then the outcome.
