Tonight’s 8-Bit Capitals Lines: Shuffling the Deck

Per Mike Vogel, change has come yet again to three of the Caps’ four lines, with Marcus Johansson, Jason Chimera and Andre Burakovsky playing musical chairs (and Jack Hillen returning to the lineup on the back end). So here’s a look at what the lines and defensive pairings should be against the ‘Canes tonight, with Braden Holtby between the pipes:

8-19-90

Alex OvechkinNicklas Backstrom – Marcus Johansson

25-92-20

Jason Chimera – Evgeny Kuznetsov Troy Brouwer

21-16-42

Brooks LaichEric FehrJoel Ward

92-83-43

Andre Burakovsky – Jay BeagleTom Wilson

44-74

Brooks OrpikJohn Carlson

27-2
Karl AlznerMatt Niskanen

38-52

Jack Hillen – Mike Green

70
Braden Holtby

That leaves Justin Peters backing up Holtby, Michael Latta, Aaron Volpatti and Cameron Schilling as healthy scratches, and Dmitry Orlov and John Erskine still on the IR.
