NASHVILLE – Center Marcus Johansson will make his return to the Washington Capitals lineup on Tuesday night against the Predators. Johansson had missed four games with an upper-body injury.
“Just get out there and move your feet, I think,” Johansson said. “The schedule is so tight, I don’t think it’s going to take long until you’re back and feeling like you’ve never been out. Just go out there and move your feet and try to keep it easy on yourself.”
The Capitals have missed Johansson’s scoring touch on the third line; with Mike Richards at center, the trio did not score during Johansson’s absence.
