Forwards:
Ovechkin-Backstrom-Burakovsky
Chimera-Kuznetsov-Brouwer
Johansson-Fehr-Ward
Laich-Latta-Beagle
Defense and Goalies:
Orpik-Carlson
Alzner-Niskanen
Hillen-Green
Peters
Holtby
Other Notes:
*Justin Peters will get a chance to start against the Ducks tonight. Last time Barry Trotz choose to call up Philip Grubauer to face the Ducks. This time Peters will be between the pipes in front of his father.
*Steve Olesky played last night but was not in warmups according to Alex Prewitt of the Washington Post.
*It appears that Tom Wilson and Aaron Volpatti will be healthy scratches as well tonight after they ended up in the lineup in LA last night.
*Andre Burakovsky looks to be back on the top line tonight after Marcus Johansson's stint. Barry Trotz continues to try to find the right wingers to go with Ovechkin and Backstrom.
*Marcus Johansson will be with Eric Fehr and Joel Ward tonight. That will be a new line combination for HC Barry Trotz.
*Jack Hillen returns to the lineup tonight after being a scratch in LA, Hillen will skate again with Mike Green.
*The Hershey Bears beat the Bridgeport Sound Tigers 5-1 to move into 2nd place in the Eastern Conference, and now are only one point out of the top spot in the the East.
