Per Mike Vogel, with no Mike Green (yet) it looks like the Caps will go with the same lineup as Thursday night as they head to Newark to take on the Division-rival Devils. With that in mind, here’s a look at the forward lines and defensive pairs set to play tonight, with Braden Holtby back between the pipes:
Alex Ovechkin – Nicklas Backstrom – Tom Wilson
Marcus Johansson – Evgeny Kuznetsov – Troy Brouwer
Brooks Laich – Eric Fehr – Joel Ward
Jason Chimera – Michael Latta – Jay Beagle
That leaves Justin Peters backing up Holtby, Andre Burakovsky and Liam O’Brien out as healthy scratches, Mike Green hopefully set to return next week and Dmitry Orlov, Aaron Volpatti and John Erskine out with longer-term injuries.
