    Preview:

    In their first matchup since facing each other in the last regular game of the 2017-18 season, the Washington Capitals and New Jersey Devils look to renew their rivalry tonight. The Capitals will be playing in their fourth game which also happens to be the 2nd of a back to back for the Capitals once again, while the Devils will be playimg in their second game of the season.

     

    Washington Capitals:

    Projected Lineup:

    Alex Ovechkin – Evgeny Kuznetsov – Brett Connolly

    Jakub Vrana – Nicklas Backstrom – TJ Oshie

    Chandler Stephenson – Lars Eller – Andre Burakovsky

    Dmitrij Jaskin – Nic Dowd – Devante Smith-Pelly

    Michal Kempny – John Carlson

    Dmitry Orlov – Matt Niskanen

    Christian Djoos – Brooks Orpik

    Pheonix Copley

    Braden Holtby

     

    Keys to the Game:

    1. Be consistent in the faceoff circle

    Last night the Capitals did a much better job in the faceoff circle, and should look to keep that consistency going into tonight.

     

    2. Keep your feet moving

    I know it sounds like a broken record already, but this is the second time now in these very early stages that the Capitala are playing in the 2nd game of a back to back. They will need to keep their legs moving, and play a much better defensive game than they did last week against Pittsburgh.

     

    New Jersey Devils:

    Projected Lineup:

    Taylor Hall – Nico Hischier – Kyle Palmieri

    Marcus Johansson – Pavel Zacha – Stefan Noesen

    Miles Wood – Travis Zajac – John Quenneville

    Brian Boyle – Blake Coleman – Jean-Sebastian Dea

    Mirco Mueller – Sami Vatanen

    Andy Greene – Damon Severson

    Will Butcher – Ben Lovejoy

    Keith Kinkaid

    Eddie Lack

     

    Keys to the Game:

    1. Get a good start

    Being how this is only the second game for the Devils this season, they will want to get a good start on the Capitals who played last night. The Devils have a better team and is looking to improve upon last season. Starting strong agaimst the defending Stanley Cup Champions would be a good start this early in the season.
