Jason Zucker wasn’t on the ice for the pre-game skate, but he’s able to play in the game. Tristan Jarry is recovered enough to serve as backup, but not start. Jeff Petry remains out of the lineup as the closest injured player getting back in.

First period
Washington/Pittsburgh games are intense at any time of year, but with only a handful of games remaining and both teams desperate to get it in gear, that’s especially true for a hot start in this game.
