The Caps are back up north after two games in Florida. Tonight they are in Pittsburgh to take on a Penguins team that will be lead by new coach Mike Sullivan as they let Mike Johnston go this weekend. Should be a interesting night in Steeletown. Here is the lineup based on the morning skate.
Forwards:
Ovechkin-Backstrom-Oshie
Johansson-Kuznetsov-Williams
Chimera-Beagle-Galiev
Burakovsky-Laich-Wilson
Defense and Goalies:
Schmidt-Carlson
Alzner-Niskanen
Orlov-Chorney
Holtby
Grubauer
Other Notes:
*Braden Holtby is grabbing the attention of the entire league. The way he is playing right now is Vezina Trophy winning quality.
*Stan Galiev will stay in the lineup tonight after getting an assist in Tampa on Saturday. He will also continue to be on the second power play unit.
*Brooks Orpik's injury looks like it might keep him out quite a bit, now I am not sure if its true or not though because it was from Pierre McGuire.
*The Caps need to play a good 60 minute game tonight, the boys need to score and give Holts a lead again like they did on Saturday.
*Overall the Caps need to win tonight to keep the momentum going. Things have changed since the Pens beat the Caps 3-1 at Verizon Center earlier in the season. Another two points will keep the ball rolling.
Gametime 7:00 p.m on CSN
