 The Caps and Bruins meet again, this time at the Verizon Center for the Caps fourth preseason game. No word on what the lines will look like however here are the players expected to be in tonight.


Forwards:

96 Liam O'Brien
92 Evgeny Kuznetsov
19 Nicklas Backstrom
18 Chander Stephenson
67 Chris Brown
83 Jay Beagle
21 Brooks Laich
46 Michael Latta

52 Mike Green
45 Cam Schilling
61 Steve Olesky
27 Karl Alzner

Goalies:

35 Justin Peters
31 Philip Grubauer


Pregame Notes:

* Alex Ovechkin and Nick Backstrom make their second apperances of the preseason, if they are on the same line tonight which I believe they will be it will be interesting to see who their linemate is.

* Jay Beagle will make his preseason debut after missing the first three.

* Justin Peters and Philip Grubauer will team up again, we will have to wait and see how Barry Trotz is going to use both of them.

* Brooks Laich will play his second game tonight as well, skated real well in his first game Sunday against Buffalo. We will see how he progresses.

*With the second line center job up for grabs Evgeny Kuznetsov will need to have a good night with Burakovsky and Johansson sitting this one out tonight

* Gametime 7 p.m, and the game will be aired on CSN
