Fresh off their win over Seattle, the Caps now hit the road for a game in Columbus to face their Metro rivals, the Blue Jackets. The Jackets had their own lopsided win over Dallas earlier this week, but have had a bit of an up-and-down start to their season overall.
First, some admin stuff:
- Who: Capitals vs. Blue Jackets
- Where: Nationwide Arena
- When: 7:00 p.m.
- How to Watch: Monumental2
- How to Listen: 106.7, Capitals Radio 24/7
It sounds like Pierre-Luc Dubois may…be…back? Question mark? He’s at least traveling to Columbus with the team, which would seem a bit silly for just a single road game before having to be back to face Ottawa at home tomorrow if he weren’t playing. So we’ll go with the thinking that he’s in, although Rasmus Sandin will not be, making the lines and pairs something like this:
Ovechkin – Strome – Beauvillier
Protas – Dubois – Leonard
Lapierre – McMichael – Wilson
Duhaime – Dowd – Sourdif
Fehervary – Carlson
Chychrun – Roy
Chisholm – van Riemsdyk
Thompson / Lindgren
