Per Mike Vogel, Eric Fehr will return to the lineup after a one-game scratch, bumping Jay Beagle down to the fourth line and Liam O’Brien to the press box, so expect the following lines and pairs in front of Braden Holtby in net:
Alex Ovechkin – Andre Burakovsky – Joel Ward
Marcus Johansson – Nicklas Backstrom – Troy Brouwer
Jason Chimera – Evgeny Kuznetsov – Eric Fehr
Jay Beagle – Michael Latta – Tom Wilson
That leaves Justin Peters as the back-up goalie, O’Brien and Jack Hillen as healthy scratches, and Brooks Laich, Dmitry Orlov, John Erskine and Aaron Volpatti all on the shelf with injuries.
