Per Katie Carrera, the Caps will go with the same lineup that rode a third-period comeback to two points Thursday night, with Braden Holtby back in net. Here are tonight's expected lines and (very young) defensive pairings:
Martin Erat - Nicklas Backstrom - Alex Ovechkin

Marcus Johansson - Casey Wellman - Troy BrouwerJason Chimera - Eric Fehr - Joel Ward
Brooks Laich - Jay Beagle - Tom Wilson
Karl Alzner - John Carlson
Julien Brouillette - Patrick Wey
No healthy scratches again tonight, with Mike Green, John Erskine, Aaron Volpatti, Mikhail Grabovski and Jack Hillen all out with injuries, and Michal Neuvirth backing up Holtby.
