Per Katie Carrera, here are tonight’s lines (with Braden Holtby in net):
Marcus Johansson – Nicklas Backstrom – Alex Ovechkin
Martin Erat – Mike Ribeiro – Troy Brouwer
Jason Chimera – Mathieu Perreault – Eric Fehr
Matt Hendricks – Jay Beagle – Joel Ward
That leaves Jeff Schultz, Wojtek Wolski, Tom Poti and Aaron Volpatti as healthy scratches, and Brooks Laich out with injury.
And at the other end of the rink, per Pat Leonard, the projected Rangers‘ lineup (with Henrik Lundqvist between the pipes):
Carl Hagelin – Derek Stepan – Ryan Callahan
Mats Zuccarello – Brad Richards – Rick Nash
Taylor Pyatt – Derick Brassard – Derek Dorsett
Darroll Powe – Brian Boyle – Arron Asham
