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 Brouwer
Jason Chimera – Eric Fehr – Joel Ward
Brooks Laich – Jay Beagle – Tom Wilson
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.
