With Eric Fehr set to miss at least the next two games, either Andre Burakovsky or Michael Latta will draw into the lineup to replace him… but the other could also get a sweater. Ah, playoff intrigue. What we do know is that Braden Holtby will start in net and that this is how the Caps’ lines shook out on Sunday:
Alex Ovechkin – Nicklas Backstrom – Joel Ward
Marcus Johansson – Evgeny Kuznetsov – Troy Brouwer
Jason Chimera – Eric Fehr – Jay Beagle
Curtis Glencross – Brooks Laich – Tom Wilson
That leaves Justin Peters backing up Holtby, Burakovsky and/or Latta (and/or someone else) out as healthy scratches, and Fehr, Dmitry Orlov and John Erskine remaining out with injuries.
