Pregame Notes: Washington Capitals at. Calgary Flames

Caps are in Calgary tonight for the first of back to back western Canada games. Here is what the lineup will look like tonight.

Forwards:

Ovechkin-Backstrom-Fehr

Johansson-Burakovsky-Brouwer

Chimera-Kuznetzov-Beagle

O'Brien-Latta-Ward

Defense:

Orpik-Carlson

Alzner-Niskanen

Schmidt-Green

What to watch:

*Jay Beagle and Mike Green will be playing infront of family an friends tonight.

*No official word on who is in net yet but Bob Hartley is planning that the Caps will have Holtby in tonight.

*Barry Trotz is changing the lines up tonight. The Twins will be separated as Chimera will play with Beagle and Kuznetsov. While Ward will be demoted to the 4th line. 

*Will be interesting to see how the team responds to their first regulation loss. I expect them to play well.

*Hershey lost to the Lehigh Vally Phantoms 4-2 last night. Tom Wilson ended the game a -1. Wilson will probably sit tonight's game out and play on Sunday. 

*Gametime 10:00 p.m on CSN
