Here is the lineup for tonight’s game:
Ovechkin-Backstrom-Kozlov
SEE RELATED:Laich-Nylander-Clark
Bourque-Steckel-Fehr
Giroux-Gordon-Bradley
Schultz-Green
Alzner-Jurcina
Morrisonn-Collins
Johnson
Donald Brashear will miss a second straight game, but Bruce Boudreau didn’t think he would out much longer. Tyler Sloan was sent back to Hershey earlier this afternoon (maybe he will get in a game this time).
After only yielding five goals during a four-start stretch, Johnson has allowed seven in his past two games. He’s been dealing with a lingering hip injury, which might have had something to do with that.
