TORONTO — Washington Capitals coach Barry Trotz tinkered with his lineup in preparation for Wednesday’s pivotal Game 4 against the Toronto Maple Leafs.
At the Capitals’ morning skate, forward Tom Wilson was moved up to the third line with Andre Burakovsky and Lars Eller, while Brett Connolly was moved down to Wilson’s old spot with Daniel Winnik and Jay Beagle.
Trotz said he’d like to get a little more production out of his third line.
“You’d like a little more production out of it, no question,” Trotz said. “They’ve had some shifts and some zone time, and now they just need to get on the board a little bit.
