With no morning skate, any changes to the lines and defensive pairings won’t be known until the pregame skate (or later), but here’s how Barry Trotz‘s troops looked last night, with the one change we’re pretty sure of – Justin Peters will be 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 Braden Holtby as the back-up goalie, Liam O’Brien and Jack Hillen as healthy scratches, and Brooks Laich, Dmitry Orlov, John Erskine and Aaron Volpatti all on the shelf with injuries.
