Per Alex Prewitt, Andre Burakovsky returns to active duty after three games out as a healthy scratch, and will be replaced in the pressbox by Jason Chimera. That one change aside, the rest of the lineup remains roughly the same as it looked on Thursday, with the following lines and defensive pairings expected in front of Braden Holtby:
Alex Ovechkin – Nicklas Backstrom – Tom Wilson
Marcus Johansson – Evgeny Kuznetsov – Troy Brouwer
Brooks Laich – Eric Fehr – Joel Ward
That leaves Justin Peters backing up Holtby, Chimera and Jack Hillen out as healthy scratches, Dmitry Orlov and John Erskine still out with long-term injuries and Aaron Volpatti rehabbing in Hershey.
