Dylan Strome sat out yesterday’s practice with an illness – as did Ethen Frank – so we’ll see what the forward lines end up looking like (and if they even have enough for four full lines or need to go with 11 forwards). If everyone’s healthy, we’ll probably see the combos we’ve seen of late, but the goalie rotation comes to an end with Logan Thompson in net:
Ovechkin – Strome – Protas
McMichael – Dubois – Wilson
Mangiapane – Eller – Raddysh
Duhaime – Dowd – Beauvillier
Sandin – Carlson
Fehervary – Roy
Chychrun – van Riemsdyk
Thompson
Lindgren
On this date in 1975: The Caps extended their season-long losing streak to 13 games with a 7-2 loss to the Flyers. [Game Notes]
