Tonight, the Capitals will take on the New York Rangers at home at 7:30pm.
After dropping the last game 3-0 against the Tampa Bay Lightning, the Capitals have made a minor adjustment to the lineup. They’ve swapped Mike Sgarbossa (recalled from Hershey this week) in place of Hendrix Lapierre (likely to be a healthy scratch). Lapierre is the only player on the third line who hasn’t registered a point yet this season (Vrána 1g 1a, Mangiapane 2g 1a).
The line & D-pairs now look like this:
Protas-Strome-Ovechkin
McMichael-Dubois-Wilson
Vrana-Sgarbossa-Mangiapane
Duhaime-Dowd-Raddysh
Chychrun-Carlson
Fehervary-McIlrath
Sandin-TvR
Things are a bit more unclear on the goalie side.
