Tonight’s Lines: No Brooks Laich; Caps Roll with the Same Lineup

While there was some buzz about Brooks Laich possibly returning to the lineup (and some about Joey Crabb or Aaron Volpatti possibly getting a sweater), none of that came to pass, so expect these familiar lines and pairings with Braden Holtby in net:

Marcus JohanssonNicklas BackstromAlex Ovechkin

Eric FehrMike RibeiroTroy Brouwer

Jason ChimeraMathieu PerreaultJoel Ward

Matt HendricksJay BeagleTom Wilson

Karl AlznerMike Green

John ErskineJohn Carlson

Jack HillenSteven Oleksy

That would leave Jeff Schultz, Wojtek Wolski, Tom Poti and Volpatti as healthy scratches (along with the Black Aces that were called up from Hershey), and Martin Erat and Laich out with injuries.

At the other end of the rink, here’s what the Rangers can be expected to go with (with Henrik Lundqvist in net, of course):

Carl HagelinDerek StepanRyan Callahan

Rick NashDerick BrassardMats Zuccarello

Taylor PyattBrian Boyle Derek Dorsett

Chris KreiderBrad RichardsArron Asham

Ryan McDonaghDan Girardi

Michael Del ZottoAnton Stralman

John Moore Steve Eminger
