After losing back-to-back games in regulation for the first time since March 2015, a span of 99 games, Capitals head coach Barry Trotz shook things up at practice. The major changes include both TJ Oshie and Andre Burrakovsky being moved to the third line and Tom Wilson being moved from the fourth line to the second.
The Caps’ penalty kill has struggled early this season. The team isn’t happy. Daniel Winnik, who has been a staple on the penalty kill, appears to be scratched against the Canucks on Saturday in favor of Brett Connolly.
