Winning streak snapped unceremoniously in overtime against the Panthers, the Caps are back in action tonight against the visiting Senators – the first of a back-to-back set against Atlantic Division foes, with the team heading to Motown tomorrow to take on the Red Wings.

First, some admin stuff:

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

Injuries continue to pile up for the Caps, who made another call to Hershey today, bringing Ivan Miroshnichenko back to DC. With that in mind, here’s what tonight’s cobbled-together lineup should look like:

Ovechkin – Strome – Wilson
Protas – McMichael – Mantha
Pacioretty – Sgarbossa – Milano
Malenstyn – Lapierre – AubĂ©-Kubel

van Riemsdyk – Carlson
Sandin – Edmundson
Alexeyev – Bear

Kuemper
Lindgren

Time to get things back on track. Let’s go, babes.
