Mangiapane has 10 points (6g, 4a) in 29 games this season. This is the first game he has missed for the Capitals.
Hendrix Lapierre will be a late addition to the team’s lineup in place of Mangiapane. Lapierre was initially planned to be a healthy scratch for the game as Jakub Vrana returns to action after missing 10 straight as a healthy scratch.
Lapierre and Vrana will flank Lars Eller on the Capitals’ third line.
