The Caps will look to finish the Western Canada road trip with a winning record tonight as they take on the 4-3-0 Canucks in Vancouver tonight. Now the Caps did not have a morning skate today because of playing back to back games. However, I will take my best guess on what the lineup will look like.
Forwards:
Ovechkin-Backstrom-Fehr
Johansson-Burakovsky-Brouwer
Chimera-Kuznetsov-Beagle
O'Brien-Latta-Ward
Defense and Goalies:
Orpik-Carlson
Alzner-Niskanen
Schmidt-Green
Peters
Holtby
What to Watch:
*Jason Chimera will play career game number 800 tonight.
*No official word on who will be in net but Barry Trotz had said he wanted to give Justin Peters a game in Western Canada so I believe he will be the one to go head to head with Ryan Miller tonight.
*The Hershey Bears won their second in a row with a 3-0 win over Lehigh Valley. Bears got goals from Philippe Cornet, Chandler Stephenson, and Dustin Gazley. While Pheonix Copley continue his strong play with a shutout. Tom Wilson finished the game with a plus 1 rating.
*I would like to see the Caps continue to have a strong five on five game tonight. If they can play a solid first period I believe they will have a chance to win. Don't want to fall behind early tonight with having played last night.
*The game is at 9:30, I had posted earlier it was at 9:00 but that's when Capitals Central is on.
