Pregame Notes: Washington Capitals at. Ottawa Senators

The Caps are back in action for the first of yet another back to back going into the weekend. Tonight the Caps are up north in the Canadian Capitol. Here is what the lineup should look like tonight based on the morning skate. 

Forwards:

Ovechkin-Backstrom-Johansson

Burakovsky-Kuznetsov-Brouwer

Laich-Fehr-Ward

Chimera-Beagle-Wilson

Defense and Goalies:

Orpik-Carlson

Alzner-Niskanen 

Hillen-Green

Holtby

Peters

Other Notes:

*Braden Holtby will start in net tonight. We will have to wait and see if Justin Peters will face the Ducks tomorrow night.

*Marcus Johannson will stay on the top line, Mojo played pretty well on Tuesday.

*Tonight is a game I would consider winnable for the Caps. The Rangers and Pens both won last night so it is very important that the Caps get two points tonight against a team that is out I the playoff picture.

*The Caps only had to kill off one penalty against the Kings, if the Caps can continue that tonight they will be in good shape. 

*Gametime 7:30 p.m on CSN-Plus
