The Caps will look to make it 4 in a row tonight as they take on the Devils at the Verizon Center tonight. The Caps beat the Devils the last time they came to DC last month. Here is tonight's lineup.
Forwards:
Ovechkin-Backstrom-Beagle
Johansson-Burakovsky-Brouwer
Chimera-Fehr-Ward
O'Brien-Kuznetsov-Latta
Defense and Goalies:
Orpik-Carlson
Alzner-Niskanen
Schmidt-Green
Holtby
Peters
What to Watch:
* Tom Wilson will not play tonight but there is a chance he returns to the lineup in St. Louis tomorrow. Brooks Laich will probably not play this weekend at all as his shoulder might take some time.
*Braden Holtby will start in net tonight while the Devils will give Cory Schneider his 17th consecutive start.
*The Caps have to be aware of Mike Cammalleri and his speed. Defensemen will have make sure they know where he is and not pinch to the point where it gives him an advantage.
*I would like to see Jason Chimera have a good game, he only as 1 goal and 1 assist so far this season. At times that third line has been good but I think Chimmer is due for a goal.
*I don't talk about him much but Nate Schmidt has had a great season so far. I had him slated for Hershey this season, instead he has been a solid addition to the defense corp.
*The line of Johansson-Burakovsky-Brouwer has had a couple solid games, I would like to see them continue that. Especially Marcus Johansson who is playing the best hockey of his career.
*The Hershey Bears are in Syracuse tonight to take on the Crunch.
*We will see if the Caps can keep up the momentum, this weekend can be a springboard for them to battle for the Division.
*Gametime 7 p.m on CSN
