The Washington Capitals continue their western Canada road trip in Vancouver, where they practiced today and switched a couple things up. According to the Washington Post’s Isabelle Khurshudyan, the boys are practicing a little something like this:

8-19-14

90-92-43

65-20-77

82-83-10

Winnik is skating as the extra.

Defense pairings appear to be unchanged. Let’s check in to see what everyone is thinking about this switch up.

What I think Trotz is going for is putting a net-front guy on every line, which would certainly make sense with the Wilson move.

Pat also seems to be doing really well.

tfw one of the most talented forward groups in the league manages to be assembled with a second line that’s hot garbage https://t.co/2TsewEJD4J
