Per Mike Vogel, here are tonight’s lines, as Brooks Laich takes a seat and Braden Holtby makes his 11th straight start in net:
Marcus Johansson – Nicklas Backstrom – Alex Ovechkin
Martin Erat – Mike Ribeiro – Troy Brouwer
Eric Fehr – Mathieu Perreault – Joel Ward
Jason Chimera – Matt Hendricks – Jay Beagle
That leaves Wojtek Wolski, Aaron Volpatti and Jeff Schultz as healthy scratches, Laich and Tom Poti out with injury.
