WASHINGTON — The Washington Capitals are back in action at Capital One Arena, playing host to the Detroit Red Wings after a relatively quiet NHL Trade Deadline Day.
Here's everything to know before puck drop at 7 p.m. ET at Capital One Arena.
The Capitals are sticking with the same lineup that they won in New York with. Logan Thompson will get the start.
Here are the combinations
Alex Ovechkin-Dylan Strome-Aliaksei Protas
Connor McMichael-Pierre-Luc Dubois-Tom Wilson
Andrew Mangiapane-Lars Eller-Taylor Raddysh
Brandon Duhaime-Nic Dowd-Ethen Frank
Rasmus Sandin-John Carlson
Martin Fehervary-Matt Roy
Jakob Chychrun-Trevor van Riemsdyk
Charlie Lindgren
Logan Thompson
- Pierre-Luc Dubois has goals in back-to-back games and points in three of his last four outings, as does Tom Wilson.
- Alex Ovechkin has 10 goals in his last 12 games and is 10 goals away from breaking Wayne Gretzky's all-time goals record.
- Watch out for Ethen Frank, who had an assist last game and will look to prove he still belongs in the lineup after the acquisition of Anthony Beauvillier.
