Just about every game-time decision came up in the affirmative for the Washington Capitals and Pittsburgh Penguins heading into Game 3 on Monday.
The Capitals are going with seven defensemen tonight, as Karl Alzner is back in the mix.
Meanwhile, the Penguins had three toss-ups, and they’re all in: Patric Hornqvist, Carl Hagelin and Brian Dumoulin will play tonight.
Of course, there are other questions: will those banged-up players be healthy? Could rust inhibit Alzner in his first game since April 15?
Here’s what Washington’s lineup looks like:
