Per Mike Vogel, Roman Hamrlik will replace Tom Poti (who had a brutal miscommunication with tonight's starter, Michal Neuvirth, on Tuesday night, and is apparently day-to-day with an upper-body injury) in the lineup as the Caps get ready to face the Pens. Here are tonight's expected line combinations and defensive pairings:
Marcus Johansson - Nicklas Backstrom - Troy Brouwer
Wojtek Wolski - Mike Ribeiro - Alex Ovechkin
Jason Chimera - Joey Crabb - Joel Ward
Matt Hendricks - Jay Beagle - Eric Fehr
Karl Alzner - Mike Green
Roman Hamrlik - John Carlson
Jeff Schultz - Tomas Kundratek
That leaves Poti and Mathieu Perreault as scratches, Brooks Laich and Jack Hillen out with injuries, and John Erskine still suspended.
