Here is the lineup, minus one reigning league MVP. Bruce Boudreau wasn’t kidding earlier today when he said there would be some surprises. Sergei Fedorov was on defense during the line drills. Here are the top three forward lines:
Laich-Backstrom-Semin
SEE RELATED:
Fleischmann-Nylander-Kozlov
Fehr-Steckel-Bradley
Brashear-Gordon-TBA
Morrisonn-Green
Fedorov-Jurcina
Schultz-Erskine???
Theodore
Stay tuned for an update once we get rolling and I can finish sorting it all out.
UPDATE: And we thought the Leafs were going to have roster issues after making a bunch of trades yesterday. It looks like the Caps will also be without Tom Poti, and they will have to play with 17 skaters. It is possible Fedorov will rotate back and forth between center and defense, or the Caps will just go with 11 forwards.
