The Capitals are taking on the Lightning tonight at 7:00 PM EST. The Capitals are coming off a very impressive 5-2 win over the Carolina Hurricanes. In that game, Alex Tuch delivered a two-goal performance, and Jakob Chychrun added 2 points. Logan Thompson was solid for the Capitals, allowing only 2 goals on 33 shots. Tampa is looking for its first win of the regular season, while the Capitals try to make it two wins in two days.
The projected lines for the Capitals in tonights game are:
Alex Tuch - Pierre-Luc Dubois - Tom Wilson
Alex Ovechkin - Dylan Strome - Ryan Leonard
Alaiksei Protas - Ilya Protas - Jordan Kyrou
Boone Jenner - Justin Sourdif - Anthony Beauvillier
Jakob Chychrun - Matt Roy
Cole Hutson - Vincent Desharnais
Martin Fehervary - Timothy Liljegren
Charlie Lindgren
Logan Thompson
The projected lines for the Lightning are:
Gage Goncalves - Brayden Point - Nikita Kucherov
Jake Guentzel - Anthony Cirelli - Brandon Hagel
Ilya Mikheyev - Zemgus Girgensons - Pontus Holmberg
Jeffrey Viel - Jansen Harkins - Conor Geekie
J.J. Moser - John Carlson
Ryan McDonagh - Erik Cernak
Victor Hedman - Emil Lilleberg
Andrei Vasilevskiy
Dennis Hildeby
The Capitals are using the same lineup as in yesterday's game, with the only change being that Charlie Lindgren is in goal instead of Logan Thompson. The Lightning will be without Dominic James (hand) and Yanni Gourde (hip), and they have scratched Scott Sabourin, Charle-Edouard D'Astous, and Max Crozier. The Capitals' scratches and injured players remain the same.
The Lightning will start Andrei Vasilevskiy in tonight's matchup as they look to get their first win of the season. If the Capitals can play like they did yesterday against the defending Stanley Cup champions, they can close out this game and remain undefeated this season.
