It has been approximately 9,000 years since the Washington Capitals have played a hockey game, but they’re finally back on the ice tonight to face the New Jersey Devils. This is the fifth time these teams meet this season, and the Capitals have won all four of the previous matchups. The Caps were once again without the services of Perfect Human Lars Eller, who has now missed five straight games with a lower body injury, so the lines looked a little something like this:
Capitals lines vs Devils:
Ovechkin-Kuznetsov-Oshie
Vrana-Backstrom-Wilson
Sheary-Panik-Sprong
Hagelin-Dowd-Hathaway
Dillon-Carlson
Orlov-Schultz
Chara-Jensen
