After being benched for nearly the entire second half of Game 1 of the Washington Capitals‘ second-round playoff series against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Thursday, Dmitry Orlov is likely to be scratched for Game 2 on Saturday night.
Orlov was among the last players on the ice following the team’s morning skate, and Taylor Chorney said that while he hadn’t yet been told anything about his role, he believed he would be making his series debut.
“I think that’s, maybe, the plan, but you never really know until we get out there,” Chorney said.
