On Philipp Grubauer's childhood decision to play goal (he also played D) and his path from Germany to playoff starter for the Capitals (and being part of their German goalie legacy):

Capitals will be missing key for Game 1 vs. Columbus
By: Ben Raby
Center Jay Beagle will miss Game 1 of the Capitals' first-round series against the Blue Jackets, Thursday at Capital One Arena. (AP Photo/Hannah Foslien) ARLINGTON Va. - The Washington Capitals will be without center Jay Beagle tonight when they open their first-round series against the Columbus Blue Jackets (7:30 p.m.; WFED 1500AM).
Beagle missed the final three games of the regular season with an upper-body injury and did not practice with the team earlier this week. With Beagle missing Game 1, greater responsibility will fall on rookie Chandler Stephenson, who will be making his NHL postseason debut.
