Per Katie Carrera, Braden Holtby returns to the Caps cage to backstop the same lineup that won at MSG on Sunday night, so expect to see the following line combinations and defensive pairings (including Dmitry Orlov sticking in a top-four role):
Marcus Johansson – Nicklas Backstrom – Alex Ovechkin
Eric Fehr – Mikhail Grabovski – Troy Brouwer
Jason Chimera – Martin Erat – Joel Ward
Aaron Volpatti – Jay Beagle – Tom Wilson
That leaves Alexander Urbom as a healthy scratch (Patrick Wey was returned to Hershey today), Michal Neuvirth, Brooks Laich, John Erskine and Jack Hillen out with injury, and Philipp Grubauer backing up Holtby.
