ESPN Zone will be hosting a Capitals watch party on Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. as Washington takes on the Montreal Canadiens and goes for 15 straight wins. The game will be shown on the restaurant's 16-foot big screen. ESPN Zone MVP members who request priority seating that night will receive an old-school Caps hockey puck. There will be giveaways for everyone in attendance.
