Per Stephen Whyno, here are tonight’s lines, with Braden Holtby in net:
Marcus Johansson – Nicklas Backstrom – Alex Ovechkin
Brooks Laich – Mike Ribeiro – Troy Brouwer
Jason Chimera – Mathieu Perreault – Joel Ward
Aaron Volpatti – Jay Beagle – Matt Hendricks
Per the team, Dmitry Orlov, and Tomas Kundratek have been returned to Hershey, so that leaves Wojtek Wolski as a healthy scratch, Tom Poti out with injury, and John Erskine a game time decision..
