Mike Green will play today and Alexander Semin, who is not here, obviously will not, so sayeth Bruce Boudreau. Tyler Sloan will go through warm-ups and is a game-time decision. Brent Johnson will start in net.

Here is the projected lineup as the Caps hunt their sixth consecutive victory, which would be a season high:
