The Capitals are coming off a 4-2 win over the New Jersey Devils and now sit at 5-3. The Capitals are taking on the only winless team in the NHL: the Los Angeles Kings. The fact the Kings still haven't won a game this season doesn't guarantee a win for the Capitals, as they will have to play their best to walk away with a win tonight.
The projected lines for the Capitals are:
Alex Tuch -- Dylan Strome -- Jordan KyrouÂ
Alex Ovechkin -- Ilya Protas -- Ivan Miroshnichenko
Alaiksei Protas -- Boone Jenner -- Tom Wilson
Anthony Beauvillier -- Jonny Brodzinski -- Ryan Leonard
Jakob Chychrun -- Matt Roy
Martin Fehervary -- Vincent Desharnais
Cole Hutson -- Timothy Liljegren
Logan Thompson
Charlie Lindgren
The projected lines for the Kings are:
Artemi Panarin -- Alex Laferriere -- Adrian Kempe
Trevor Moore -- Quinton Byfield -- Mats Zuccarello
Erik Haula -- Scott Laughton -- Joel Armia
Andre Lee -- Samuel Helenius -- Corey Perry
Erik Gustafsson -- Brandt Clarke
Joel Edmundson -- Drew Doughty
Mikey Anderson -- Brian Dumoulin
Darcy Kuemper
Anton Forsberg
The Capitals are without Rasmus Sandin (knee), Pierre-Luc Dubois (illness), and Justin Sourdif (illness). Dubois will miss his 5th straight game, and Sourdif will miss his 2nd consecutive game. The Capitals have also scratched Ethen Frank and Dylan McIlrath in tonight's matchup. The Kings will be without Alex Turcotte (undisclosed) and Kevin Fiala (leg surgery), and they have scratched Taylor Ward and Cody Ceci.
The Capitals will likely start Logan Thompson tonight, as he comes off a 29-save win over the Devils. The Kings will likely start Darcy Kuemper tonight and look to bounce back after being pulled in the 4-1 loss to the Oilers.
The Capitals host the Kings tonight at 7 PM EST.
