Per Mike Vogel, the Caps are likely sticking with what has (and hasn’t) worked as they attempt to pull themselves out of a two-game slide. With that in mind, here’s a look at the Caps’ lineup in their final game before the break, with Braden Holtby back between the pipes:
Alex Ovechkin – Nicklas Backstrom – Andre Burakovsky
Marcus Johansson – Evgeny Kuznetsov – Troy Brouwer
Brooks Laich – Eric Fehr – Joel Ward
Jason Chimera – Jay Beagle – Tom Wilson
That leaves Justin Peters backing up Holtby, Michael Latta as a healthy scratch, and Dmitry Orlov, John Erskine and Aaron Volpatti still on the IR.
