Ladd hasn't played a meaningful NHL game in like 3 years guys.
I would play Ross the Boss over him every time at this stage.
Ross is not Wilson. He has control of himself unless the zebras decide to give him a "reputation penalty" lol.
Another option could be MDC if he is in the bubble and has practiced.
He seemed to play well with Casey and Marts when Clutter went down with the skate cut. Don't expect scoring from him but he works hard and checks diligently.

Looks like Clutterbuck is out and Dal Colle is in. Hopefully Barry sees something in him. MDC wouldn’t have been my first choice but I’m also not an NHL coach. Maybe he will surprise us all and score a big goal. His effort isn’t the issue, just need him to produce.

Expect the Caps to come out fast and physical.
Have to absorb that, blunt it, and transition with shots on Holtby.
That will slow them down.
Barzal better have his head on straight this game.
Nelson has to be a leader this game.

Caps playing like there’s no tomorrow because for them there is no tomorrow. That makes them dangerous. Learn from past games and stay out of the damn box.
