While it does seem that Max Pacioretty and Ethan Bear are both set to make their season debuts soon…tonight is not that night. Instead, look for Ivan Miroshnichenko to sit out, with Matthew Phillips slotting in on the third line. Here’s how the lines should shake out:
Ovechkin – McMichael – Wilson
Protas – Strome – Mantha
Lapierre – Kuznetsov – Phillips
Malenstyn – Dowd – Aube-Kubel
Fehervary – Carlson
Sandin – van Riemsdyk
Edmundson – Jensen
Lindgren
Kuemper
