This is your place to check for updates and comment along with the Washington Capitals vs. Chicago Blackhawks game on December 13, 2022.
Who’s up for some sorta-late hockey? Tonight the Washington Capitals will take the ice at United Center, hoping to bring their winning streak to five games.
Standing in their way will be the Chicago Blackhawks, who have been [checks notes] god awful lately. That means I’m terrified of this game.
