Hello everyone tonight is preseason game #2 as the Caps try to improve to 2-0 as they visit Wells Fargo Center to face the Flyers. Tonight there will be a different group of players then we saw last night. I have had no word on what the lines are but I will list the players expected to play in Philly tonight.
Forwards:
16 Eric Fehr
20 Troy Brouwer
23 Chris Conner
24 Kris Newbury
46 Michael Latta
50 Dane Byers
64 Jakub Vrana
67 Chris Brown
76 Garrett Mitchell
87 Liam O'Brein
90 Marcus Johansson
92 Evgeny Kuznetzov
Defensemen:
4 John Erskine
36 Tomas Kundratek
38 Jack Hillen
61 Steve Olesky
74 John Carlson
88 Nate Schmidt
Goalies:
31 Philip Grubauer
35 Justin Peters
Things to watch:
* I read on Twitter that right now the second line center competition is between Marcus Johansson and Evgeny Kuznetsov. So, we will have to take a hard look at both of those players tonight.
* What will the defense pairing look like? Still no Brooks Orpik but we will see a good mix of vets and young guys tonight.
* I am almost positive that we will see Justin Peters and Philip Grubauer split time tonight.
* He probably won't make the team but it will be interesting to see how Jakub Vrana will respond to his first real taste of the NHL playing in Philadelphia.
* Game starts at 7 p.m on CSN
