Per Katie Carrera, the Caps will go with the same lineup that eked out an overtime victory Tuesday night, with Braden Holtby making his third consecutive start in net. Here are tonight’s expected lines and defensive pairings:
Marcus Johansson – Nicklas Backstrom – Alex Ovechkin
Martin Erat – Brooks Laich – Troy Brouwer
Jason Chimera – Jay Beagle – Tom Wilson
Eric Fehr – Casey Wellman – Joel Ward
That leaves Ryan Stoa and Aaron Volpatti as healthy scratches, with Mikhail Grabovski and Jack Hillen out with injuries and Michal Neuvirth backing up Holtby.
