The Caps complete their three-game homestand tonight against Minnesota. A win would be their fourth in a row, which couldn’t hurt before they hit the road Saturday for back-to-back games in Phoenix and Colorado.
Braden Holtby, who made 34 saves in Tuesday’s 6-2 victory over the Isles, is starting in net again.
Judging by warmups, the Caps will keep the same lineup that excelled against the Islanders.
Erat-Backstrom-Ovechkin
Laich-Johansson-Brouwer

Volpatti-Latta-Wilson
Alzner-Carlson
Schmidt-Green
