Capitals practice update: Jason Chimera back to normal?

Jason Chimera has 14 goals, tied for second on the Washington Capitals. Yet on Friday night he skated on the fourth line.

But at Saturday’s practice, all was back to normal with Chimera skating on a line with Jeff Halpern and Joel Ward.

Here are the full lines:

Alex Ovechkin - Marcus Johansson - Alexander Semin

Mike Knuble - Brooks Laich - Troy Brouwer

Jason Chimera - Jeff Halpern - Joel Ward

Matt Hendricks - Cody Eakin - Jay Beagle - (Mathieu Perreault)

D-pairs:
