Good news: Braden Holtby is no longer with Washington

Bad news: Zdeno Chara is.

It's going to be very weird playing against the big fella. But let's keep this thing going. Not sure what the Caps situation will be like for this game. Ovechkin, Kuznetsov, Samsonov and Orlov all missed the last 4 games due to COVID protocol issues. They are eligible to return tomorrow, we'll see if they do play. Caps went 4-0 without them.

David Pastrnak is expected to play as long as he feels good tomorrow and gets through the morning skate with no issues. DeBrusk and Grzelyck have been ruled out. Studnicka also missed practice today and seems unlikely to play, though he was not completely ruled out. Kuhlman is with the team and will likely draw in if Studnicka can't go. Injuries always seem to happen at the same position. If Studnicka misses time, the top 4 RW will all have missed a game due to injury this year, plus DeBrusk who was forced to RW.

Marchand - Bergeron - Pastrnak
Ritchie - Krejci - Kuhlman?
Frederic - Coyle - Smith
Bjork - Kuraly - Wagner

Lauzon - McAvoy
Clifton - Carlo
Zboril - Miller

Rask?

Brick just leaned into some on-ice swearing there. I think they've just accepted they're going to pick up 2-3 each game.

Not sure what Rask could have done on any of the goals really... didn't have eyes on any. Second one he could have done better but that's splitting hairs IMO
