With a busy day ahead and no morning skate I will do my best to show you what the lineup will look like when the Carolina Hurricanes make a visit to our nation's capital tonight. Here's what the lineup should look like. If I know the lineup is different before game time I will post the real lineup later.
Forwards:
Ovechkin-Backstrom-Wilson
Johansson-Burakovsky-Brouwer
Chimera-Laich-Ward
O'Brien-Latta-Beagle
Defense and Goalies:
Orpik-Carlson
Alzner-Niskanen
Schmidt-Green
Peters
Holtby
What to Watch:
*Justin Peters should be in net tonight to take on his former team. Peters struggled against Arizona last Sunday and will look to bounce back.
*I expect the lines to be the same to start the game, but last night Brooks Laich and Jay Beagle did get some shifts with other lines. Coach Trotz likes to change things around on the fly.
*I would like to see how Andre Burakovsky and Marcus Johansson build off of their performances last night.
*I believe the Hurricanes will be getting Jiri Tlusty tonight as the Hurricanes are playing a lot better lately so tonight the Caps will have to come out strong.
*If the Caps win tonight they will then have 5 of a possible 6 points in their last 3 games which will change the feeling from the last couple weeks. Tonight's game is very important with a winnable game on Tuesday against Columbus.
*Brooks Laich played a solid game in Chicago last night, he looked like he was skating very well and I have always thought you should have him with Chimera and Ward. We will have to see how he does on the second of a back to back.
*Matt Niskanen played great last night and I will like to see him build off that game. Remember he is still getting acclimated to his new teammates.
*Gametime 8 p.m. tonight on CSN plus
