Two of the most overhauled teams from this offseason will go head to head tonight as the Capitals host the new-look Predators – with both teams looking to bounce back from losses, the Caps to Carolina and Nashville via a Darcy Kuemper shutout vs. LA.

First, some admin stuff:

  • Who: Capitals vs. Predators
  • Where: Capital One Arena
  • When: 7:00 p.m.
  • How to Watch: Monumental
  • How to Listen: 106.7, Capitals Radio 24/7

After playing just over a period in his season debut, Matt Roy is finally healed up and back in the lineup. Here’s our best guess at what the lineup looks like tonight:

Protas – Strome – Ovechkin
McMichael – Dubois – Wilson
Milano – Lapierre – Mangiapane
Duhaime – Dowd – Raddysh

Fehervary – Carlson
Sandin – Roy
Alexeyev – van Riemsdyk

Thompson
Lindgren

On this date in 1974… the inaugural Caps had the night off.
