"David Kampf, brought in from the Vancouver Canucks for a sixth-round draft pick, will miss his fourth straight game due to visa-related issues. Kampf, 31, has been practicing with his new teammates since arriving from the Canucks, but has yet to dress in a game. After Saturday's game, the Czech centerman will have just 14 more opportunities to play for the Capitals this season ahead of becoming an unrestricted free agent in July."
"Logan Thompson will start this afternoon vs. Boston, but no other lineup changes. Carbery committing to the same lineup likely means Hendrix Lapierre will remain in the top six as a winger, and Connor McMichael will stay down the middle on the fourth line."
"In six career starts against the Bruins, Thompson is 3-3 with a 2.00 goals-against average and a .933 save percentage. The Capitals have already lost twice to the Bruins this season, the most recent defeat coming a week ago in Boston."
The Washington Capitals will use the same roster that defeated Buffalo against the Boston Bruins on Saturday, keeping their winning lineup intact. However, David Kampf, acquired from the Vancouver Canucks for a sixth-round pick, continues to miss games due to visa-related complications and has yet to dress for a game. The 31-year-old Czech centerman has been practicing but faces time constraints with only 14 remaining opportunities to play before becoming an unrestricted free agent in July. Logan Thompson returns to start in goal after Charlie Lindgren's strong performance in the previous victory. The Capitals have already lost twice to Boston this season, while the Bruins enter Saturday following a loss to San Jose.
