After all those back-to-back games it’s time to relax with some random Tuesday night out-of-the-division hockey against... oh the Capitals. Well out of the frying pan and into the fire I suppose. The Caps lead the Metropolitan division with an 8-2-3 record.
Travis Dermott returns tonight to the lineup from a shoulder injury which dates back to last season so there is some movement in the defence pairings.
Morgan Rielly was not actually at practice yesterday but is assumed to be playing tonight and Kevin Gravel will be a healthy scratch.
