After a disappointing road trip that saw them get just one win in four tries, the Caps now return home and get their first look at a Devils squad that, despite a myriad of big injuries, has been among the best teams in the league so far this year. They’ll add one more injured party to their growing list, however, as Jack Hughes somehow injured himself at a team dinner, had surgery earlier today and is out for up to eight weeks.
First, some admin stuff:
- Who: Capitals vs. Devils

John Carlson is a gametime decision with an injury, so if he sits, expect Trevor van Riemsdyk to draw back in…barring that, however, the lineup will remain the same in front of Logan Thompson:
Ovechkin – Strome – Beauvillier
Protas – Sourdif – Wilson
Lapierre – McMichael – Leonard
Duhaime – Dowd – Frank
Fehervary – Carlson
Chychrun – Chisholm
Sandin – Roy
Thompson
