With no morning skate, it’s hard to know what tonight’s lines might look like, but we do know that Justin Peters will be in net and looking for his first win in more than three months. Here are what the Caps’ lines looked like last night:
Alex Ovechkin – Nicklas Backstrom – Marcus Johansson
Jason Chimera – Evgeny Kuznetsov – Troy Brouwer
Brooks Laich – Eric Fehr – Joel Ward
That would leave Braden Holtby backing up Peters, Andre Burakovsky, Michael Latta and Jack Hillen sitting out as healthy scratches (but don’t be surprised if one or more of them draw in tonight), with Dmitry Orlov and John Erskine still on the IR.
