Per Katie Carrera, here are the lines and pairings from this morning’s skate, with Braden Holtby getting the start:
Marcus Johansson – Nicklas Backstrom – Alex Ovechkin
Aaron Volpatti – Mike Ribeiro – Troy Brouwer
Jason Chimera – Mathieu Perreault – Eric Fehr
Wojtek Wolski – Matt Hendricks – Jay Beagle
That leaves Jeff Schultz as a healthy scratch and Brooks Laich, Martin Erat, Joel Ward and Tom Poti out with injury (though Poti sounds close to being available to return to the lineup).
