Your savory breakfast links:
- Previews of tonight's visit to Brooklyn from Vogs, (plus game notes), NHL.com, Caps Outsider, NoVa Caps, and be sure to visit our always awesome SB Nation pals over at Lighthouse Hockey for the other side of tonight's matchup.
- Nicklas Backstrom is 3 assists away from 500 in his NHL career, and nobody reveres him more than the players who get the grapes from his apples. [WaPo]
- TJ Oshie is still lights-out in the Gimmick, but apparently the team needs more than him to score, so they are taking extra shootout work in practice.
