Capitals, Golden Knights will feature some new faces in a new rivalry

The Washington Capitals and the Vegas Golden Knights do not look substantially different from the teams that played in the 2018 Stanley Cup Final in June, but their rematch Wednesday still will include a few new characters.

Dmitrij Jaskin will make his Capitals debut Wednesday on the fourth line, coach Todd Reirden confirmed. Washington claimed Jaskin off waivers from the St. Louis Blues the day before the season began, but he hasn’t played in a game yet.

The Golden Knights added winger Max Pacioretty, center Paul Stastny and defenseman Nick Holden to the mix this offseason.
