The Capitals are off to western Canada, beginning a four-game road trip with a 9:30 game against Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers on Wednesday.
The Caps roster will look a little bit different than the one we saw on Saturday. Up front, Andre Burakovsky and T.J Oshie have switched spots on the Caps top two lines. In addition, Taylor Chorney will make his season debut at some point during this road trip. Don’t be surprised if it’s Wednesday night. Though Chorney’s role as the seventh defenseman is primarily to step in when an injury arises, Barry Trotz he doesn’t want players to be stale and will play someone to keep their mind in game shape.
