Pregame Notes: Washington Capitals at. Buffalo Sabres

 Tomorrow will be a busy day for me so I'm doing this the night before. Tomorrow night the Caps head to Buffalo to play the Sabres for the second time this preseason. This will be the last road preseason game. Here are the list of players expected to play tomorrow.


Forwards:

20 Troy Brouwer
21 Brooks Laich
23 Chris Conner
24 Kris Newbury
25 Jason Chimera
42 Joel Ward
48 Casey Wellman
50 Dane Byers
65 Andre Burakovsky
76 Garrett Mitchell
90 Marcus Johansson
92 Evgeny Kuznetsov

Defense:

4 John Erskine
27 Karl Alzner
38 Jack Hillen
56 Patrick Wey
58 Conner Carrick
61 Steve Olesky
74 John Carlson

Goalies:

31 Philip Grubauer
70 Braden Holtby


What to Watch:

* Braden Holtby will look to stay perfect this preseason, again we will have to wait and see if Barry Trotz is going to have to goalies rotate or if one of them gets the entire game.

*From Twitter Marcus Johansson has been skating on the 4th line while Andre Burakovsky is moving up the depth chart as he was skating with Brooks Laich and Troy Brouwer.

*The 7th defensemen battle is heating up, will a young guy like Conner Carrick make the team? Or a vet like Steve Olesky.

*From what I have heard Tom Wilson and Dmitry Orlov will not be ready for the Opening next Thursday.

*The game was picked up by CSN, so we will be able to watch it. Game Time 7 p.m
