The Washington Capitals will finally take the ice on Sunday afternoon in Pittsburgh and for the first time since the first week of the season, ironically at the same location, it could be the first time they are at full strength.
On Thursday the team practiced with a full roster for the first time in three weeks. That full squad continued to practice Saturday with no issues. A team desperate to snap a three game skid, this comes at the right time.
Here were the lines during Saturday’s practice at MedStar Capitals Iceplex via Tarik El-Bashir of The Athletic:
Forwards
Ovechkin-Backstrom-Wilson
Vrana-Kuznetsov-Oshie
Panik-Eller-Sheary
Hagelin-Dowd-Hathaway
Sprong
Defense
Dillon-Carlson
Chara-Schultz

The Caps had to deal with a lot in this young season.
