No changes to the lines from the game on Wednesday that saw the Capitals defeat the Flyers, and for good reason. All four lines played spectacular, each line having a goal. Five different players scored: Tom Wilson, Brett Connolly, Alex Ovechkin, Andre Burakovsky, and Nicklas Backstrom.

Braden Holtby will get the start in goal. He’s coming off a big milestone, winning his 250th career game and becoming the second-fastest goaltender to do so.
