Tonight's 8-Bit Capitals Lines: Where There's a Wilson, There's a Way

Per Alex Prewitt, looks like Tom Wilson is cleared and ready to return to the lineup after taking a puck to the head in Detroit. His return will push Michael Latta to the sidelines, where he'll be joined by Andre Burakovsky. And never fear, fans - Philipp Grubauer was called up today as a precautionary measure in case Braden Holtby (who has been sick) couldn't go, but it sounds like he'll be back between the pipes.

With that in mind, here's who will be lining up in front of him:

8-92-42

Alex Ovechkin - Evgeny Kuznetsov - Joel Ward

90-19-20

Marcus Johansson - Nicklas Backstrom - Troy Brouwer

25-16-83

Jason Chimera - Eric Fehr - Jay Beagle

22-21-43

Curtis Glencross - Brooks Laich - Tom Wilson

44-74

Brooks Orpik - John Carlson

27-2

Karl Alzner - Matt Niskanen

6-52

Tim Gleason - Mike Green

70
Braden Holtby

That leaves Justin Peters backing up Holtby (with Grubauer to be returned to Hershey if his services are not needed), Burakovsky and Latta out as healthy scratches, and Dmitry Orlov and John Erskine remaining out with injuries.
