For this visit to Capitol One Arena, Martin St-Louis has made slight changes to his training. With the left knee injury to Kaiden Guhle, Chris Wideman regain a place at the blue line.
On offense, Michael Pezzetta, the man with curly hair, will return to the fourth line. He will replace the enigmatic Evgenii Dadonov.
For a second game in a row, Anthony Richard will watch the action from the press box.
A departure for Lindgren
In the Caps camp, Peter Laviolette will trust goalkeeper Charlie Lindgren.
“Charlie is playing great hockey for us this season,” Laviolette said hours before the game.
Lindgren, a former CH, signed the same number of victories (10) as Darcy Kuemper.
Among defenders, Martin Fehervary will return to action after a twelve-game absence due to an upper-body injury.
