The Washington Capitals are starting to get a bit injured. After forward Marcus Johansson was unable to go against the Winnipeg Jets on Saturday despite being expected to go, he is questionable for tomorrow’s game against the Detroit Red Wings due to a lower body injury. Defenseman Karl Alzner could also miss tomorrow’s game with an upper body injury.
Marcus Johansson would likely be replaced by Stanislav Galiev while Alzner would likely be replaced by Aaron Ness. Dmitry Orlov took Alzner’s spot on the second pairing alongside Matt Niskanen at practice while Ness skated with Taylor Chorney on the third pairing.
