Open thread: Capitals vs. Lightning

By Katie Carrera

Tomas Vokoun makes an eighth consecutive start as the Capitals host struggling Tampa Bay, which has lost five straight. The matchup with the Lightning is the second contest in a four-game homestand that provides a key opportunity for Washington to advance up the Eastern Conference standings.

Faceoff: 7 p.m., Verizon Center | TV: CSN | Radio: 1500 AM

Based on warmup here is what the lineup should look like against the Lightning:

Forwards
Ovechkin-Johansson-Semin
Knuble-Laich-Brouwer
Hendricks-Halpern-Ward
Chimera-Eakin-Beagle

Defense
Alzner-Carlson
Orlov-Wideman
Hamrlik-Kundratek

Goal
Vokoun
Neuvirth

Scratches: Mathieu Perreault, Jeff Schultz and John Erskine.

Injured reserve: Nicklas Backstrom (concussion) and Mike Green (groin) on LTI.

Next: Will the resurgence of Alex Ovechkin include another 50-goal season? Don't bet on it.
