Alex Alexeyev will make his season debut against Penguins, John Carlson and Dmitry Orlov will not play

The Washington Capitals will take on the Pittsburgh Penguins inside Capital One Arena on Wednesday night after snapping their losing streak with an exciting 5-4 victory over the Edmonton Oilers. The team’s roster remains in flux due to the rash of absences it has seen due to injuries to several key players.

While the forward group remains somewhat constant, the team’s defense pairings are shifting around yet again. Defenseman Alex Alexeyev, recalled from his AHL conditioning loan, is the most recent beneficiary of that as he will make his season debut against the Pens.

All-Russian leadership: Capitals’ Alex Ovechkin the captain, Evgeny Kuznetsov and Dmitry Orlov the alternates against Vegas and Carolina

The Washington Capitals might have had a pretty incredible first against the Carolina Hurricanes and Vegas Golden Knights the last two nights.

With usual alternate captains Nicklas Backstrom, John Carlson, TJ Oshie, and Tom Wilson all out due to injury, Peter Laviolette gave Evgeny Kuznetsov and Dmitry Orlov the A’s and the opportunity to serve under Alex Ovechkin on the leadership team.

This appears (but is not confirmed) to be the first time in franchise history there were all Russian players as Capitals’ captains during games.

Note: It’s worth pointing out that this is almost impossible to 100 percent confirm due to the historical data of alternate captains not being public.

TJ Oshie, Dmitry Orlov, and Lars Eller all participate in morning skate but will miss game against Blue Jackets

The Washington Capitals are “dealing with a few things in the room” as head coach Peter Laviolette has said many times in the past. Multiple key pieces of the team’s roster have missed recent practices due to injury or illness.

Saturday morning’s skate before the team’s final preseason matchup against the Columbus Blue Jackets shed some light on those situations. TJ Oshie (upper-body) and Dmitry Orlov (lower-body) took the ice in non-contact jerseys. Lars Eller (illness) was a full participant in the optional skate.

Laviolette, per The Athletic’s Tarik El-Bashir, announced that even with their involvement in the skate all three would not play in the game against Columbus.
