What to Watch:
*Evgeny Kuznetsov is back in the lineup after being a scratch on Thursday, Andre Burakovsky will be a healthy scratch as Trotz is going to rotate them till one breaks out.
*Braden Holtby will most likely be in net, Holtby has been good his last 10 starts.
*The Caps may not be facing Jaromir Jagr tonight as he has the FLU and may or may not be playing for the Devils tonight.
*Michael Latta will again center the 4th line after a solid game in Carolina on Thursday.
*The Caps defense played very well in Carolina, not they need to do it for a stretch of games. They lost to the Devils 1-0 last time they played, so goal support will also be needed.
*Jason Chimera had a good game the other night, he needs to continue to play well because his speed is an asset in the lineup.
*Mike Green will not play tonight, but is targeting Tuesday in Tampa for his return. The Caps are just taking it easy and making sure that he will be ready to go when he does come back into the lineup.
*The Hershey Bears opened their weekend with a 6-3 win over the Bridgeport Sound Tigers. The Bears got two goals from Stan Galiev who has a 4 game goal scoring streak and looks to be breaking out finally. Bears also got two goals from Chris Brown, as well has getting goals from Joel Broda and Chris Conner.
*Caps at. Devils will air at 7 p.m on CSN
