With a four-game losing streak in the books, it’s time to shuffle up (the lines) and deal – so per Alex Prewitt, here’s a look at what the lineup should be tonight, with Braden Holtby back between the pipes:
Alex Ovechkin – Nicklas Backstrom – Tom Wilson
Marcus Johansson – Evgeny Kuznetsov – Troy Brouwer
Jason Chimera – Andre Burakovsky – Joel Ward
Braden Holtby
That leaves Justin Peters wearing the baseball cap, Eric Fehr and Jack Hillen as healthy scratches, and Brooks Laich, Dmitry Orlov, John Erskine and Aaron Volpatti all on the shelf with injuries.
