Alright, boys and girls and babes, time for the first Washington Capitals game post-trade deadline. Exit: Jakub Vrana and Richard Panik. Enter: Anthony Mantha. Well, Mantha and Michael Raffl, but Raffl was unavailable tonight due to undisclosed injury issues. The revamped Caps’ lines against the Philadelphia Flyers tonight looked a little something like this:
Capitals lines vs Flyers:
Vitek Vanecek may have the hotter hand right now, but Ilya Samsonov is 3-0 against the Flyers this season so it was all Sammy in net tonight. Brian Elliott was in net across the ice for the Flyers, with Carter Hart sitting backup. Which goalie would help lead their team to victory? Let’s find out.
“They are first in the league right now,” Mantha said. “And for me, it is a huge opportunity.”
Shortly after discovering the news, Mantha made his way to the rink at PNC Arena in Raleigh, North Carolina, where Detroit would face the Hurricanes later that night. Mantha picked up his gear, hastily said goodbye and then hopped in a car headed for D.C.
He stopped for dinner on the road, arrived at a hotel late Monday night and showed up at the Capitals’ practice facility in Arlington, Virginia, on Tuesday morning, ready to make his first impression.
Mantha said he’s never been traded before, not even in junior hockey. That leaves quite a learning curve for the 6-foot-5 winger, who made his debut Tuesday against Philadelphia Flyers. Coach Peter Laviolette said he opted against overloading Mantha with too much schematic information ahead of Tuesday night’s game, preferring to tell Mantha to “come here and play hard and have fun tonight.”
