After pulling out a victory in LA last night (thanks, Chuck!), the Caps are back at it again, this time wrapping up the California leg of this trip against the Ducks.

First, some admin stuff:

  • Who: Capitals @ Ducks
  • Where: Honda Center
  • When: 10:00 p.m. ET
  • How to watch: Monumental
  • How to listen: 106.7 the Fan, Capitals Radio 24/7

Tough to say what the lines will look like, although WaPo’s Bailey Johnson reported that Hendrix Lapierre will join the lineup and Matthew Phillips will come out. Whether that means Lapierre plays wing or not remains to be seen – so here’s a look at the potential lines and defensive pairings for tonight’s contest, with Darcy Kuemper drawing back in goal:

Ovechkin – Kuznetsov – Wilson
Milano – Strome – Lapierre
Protas – McMichael – Mantha
Malenstyn – Dowd – Aube-Kubel

Fehervary – Carlson
Sandin – Jensen
Edmundson – van Riemsdyk

Kuemper
Lindgren
