Joel Edmundson’s upper-body injury seems to have cleared up and he’ll be back in to face his old team, while new papa Beck Malenstyn also brings his Dad Strength back to the lineup. That probably means Trevor van Riemsdyk and Hendrix Lapierre are the odd men out, with The Outlaw Charlie Lindgren back between the pipes:
Ovechkin – Kuznetsov – Wilson
Pacioretty – Strome – Oshie
Protas – McMichael – Mantha
Malenstyn – Dowd – Aube-Kubel
Fehervary – Carlson
Alexeyev – Jensen
van Riemsdyk – Bear
Lindgren
