Even with a fully healthy lineup, the Washington Capitals lost Game 4 and are now staring at a 3-1 series hole. As they approach tonight’s do or die Game 5, I decided to put myself in Peter Laviolette’s shoes and try my best to tweak the lineup.

To the surprise of no one, playoff Laviolette is in full effect. Listening to his press conferences, he doesn’t reveal much when it comes to the lineup. Tonight will be no different.

Keep in mind this was written before the Caps had their morning skate so we don’t know who’s going to be in or out.
