Per reports out of Kettler, tonight’s lineup is going to look an awful lot like yesterday’s lines (which could include Tom Wilson‘s season debut), so expect the following lines and pairs in front of Braden Holtby in net as the Caps host Hockey Fights Cancer Awareness Night (donate here):
Alex Ovechkin – Andre Burakovsky – Joel Ward
Marcus Johansson – Nicklas Backstrom – Troy Brouwer
Jason Chimera – Evgeny Kuznetsov – Jay Beagle
Liam O`Brien – Michael Latta – Tom Wilson
Note: Wilson may not be ready to go, in which case Eric Fehr will draw in (rather than be healthy-scratched). That leaves Justin Peters as the back-up goalie, Fehr as a potential healthy scratch, Brooks Laich and Aaron Volpatti out with short-term injuries, and Dmitry Orlov out longer-term.
