Per Katie Carrera, here were the lines at this morning’s skate, with Braden Holtby expected to make the start in net:
Marcus Johansson – Nicklas Backstrom – Alex Ovechkin
Brooks Laich – Mikhail Grabovski – Troy Brouwer
Jason Chimera – Eric Fehr – Joel Ward
That leaves Jay Beagle, Aaron Volpatti and Steve Oleksy as healthy scratches (and Michal Neuvirth as the backup netminder), and if anything change in pre-game line rushes, we’ll be sure to update this post.
