Per Stephen Whyno, the Caps will stick with the same lineup that has won three-in-a-row… with one major exception: Mike Green is day-to-day with a lower-body injury, so that gets Tom Poti back in the lineup. Per Mike Vogel, Expect to see the following line combinations and defensive pairings in front of Braden Holtby:
Jason Chimera – Mike Ribeiro – Alex Ovechkin
Wojtek Wolski – Nicklas Backstrom – Troy Brouwer
Eric Fehr – Mathieu Perreault – Joel Ward
Matt Hendricks – Jay Beagle – Joey Crabb
That leaves Roman Hamrlik as a healthy scratch, Green, Brooks Laich and Jack Hillen out with injuries, and Marcus Johansson perhaps somewhere in between.
