Per Alex Prewitt, the Caps will stick with the same lines from the weekend, with Nate Schmidt getting a second-straight night off and a couple of fresh troops from Hershey sitting it out until (at least) the second half of back-to-backs tomorrow. With that in mind, here’s what you should expect to see in front of Braden Holtby:
Alex Ovechkin – Nicklas Backstrom – Tom Wilson
Marcus Johansson – Evgeny Kuznetsov – Troy Brouwer
Brooks Laich – Eric Fehr – Joel Ward
Jason Chimera – Michael Latta – Jay Beagle
Braden Holtby
That leaves Justin Peters backing up Holtby, Schmidt and Andre Burakovsky watching from the cheap seats, Aaron Volpatti back in town but not yet activated from the IR, and Dmitry Orlov and John Erskine still out with long-term injuries.
