Daily Nuggets: Cassidy Maintains Plan with Goalies; Will Carbery Make it to Thanksgiving?

Coach Bruce Cassidy said there would not be a 50/50 split between Adin Hill and Logan Thompson. What is the split through the first seven games? How did this recently retired player handle being the “worst player in the league?” Alex Ovechkin scored his first goal of the season! Too bad it was in a losing effort for the Washington Capitals.
