Pregame Notes: Washington Capitals at. Boston Bruins

 The Caps will look to end their 2 game losing streak tonight as they are in Boston to take on he Bruins. Here is the lineup based on the morning.


Forwards:

Ovechkin-Backstrom-Oshie
Burakovsky-Kuznetsov-Williams
Chimera-Johansson-Wilson
Laich-Sill-Galiev


Defense and Goalies:

Alzner-Niskanen
Schmidt-Orlov
Chroney-Ness


Holtby
Grubauer


Other Notes:

*Tom Wilson is starting to find his offensive game as he is getting assist after assist lately. Hopefully he can continue to develop because he can add a new element to that line.

*Stan Galiev will make his return to the lineup tonight as he will be on the 4th line. Michael Latta will be the scratch tonight.

*Aaron Ness looked pretty good in Columbus on Saturday, he can be a offensive weapon if he jumps into the play like he did the other night.

*Alex Ovechkin is only 4 goals away from his milestone of 500 for his career, will he do it this week? It is possible so we will have to see how he does tonight.

*Braden Holtby had an off game on Saturday, as he let goals in that he normally stops, we will see if he can get back on track tonight.

*The Caps have hit a injury bug but didn't play a bad game on Saturday it just was kind of luck for the Blue Jackets. Hopefully the boys will have some jump since they had a couple days off leading into this game. We will see but it should be fun as the TD Garden is a great place for hockey.


Gametime 7:00 p.m on CSN
