The Washington Capitals top line remains the same, as Alex Ovechkin, Evgeny Kuznetsov and Tom Wilson will man the top forward line. Aside from that, everyone has a new role. Ovechkin, at 51 goals, is ahead of Edmonton’s Leon Draisaitl by two goals for the Rocket Richard race. Other than that, there’s some lineup changes.
The typical third line has bumped up and taken second line duties, while Dimitrij Jaskin will get a sweater for the first time since Feb. 17. Jonas Siegenthaler is back in The District and will play for the first time since Feb.
