Like the third line, the Washington Capitals fourth line will have a new face on it. What makes it different is that there might also be an additional face some nights. Center Nic Dowd and center/right wing Travis Boyd are the two returners. Left wing/center Chandler Stephenson might be back depending on how the arbitration goes and if the Capitals are willing to pay what Stephenson and his agent have asked for.
But the biggest keys to the fourth line having better success in 2019-20 will lie with the two newest players you’ll see this season, each acquired when NHL free agency kicked off.
