Chandler Stephenson Expected To Start On Top Line
7 years agoWashington Capitals forward Chandler Stephenson is expected to start on the top line for Monday's Game 6 matchup against the Pittsburgh Penguins. Stephenson was beginning to show his offensive upside on a line with Nicklas Backstrom and T.J. Oshie, scoring four points in the final two games against Columbus, but he has registered a single point in five games against the Penguins so far. Jakub Vrana held the coveted top-line spot with Alex Ovechkin and Evgeny Kuznetsov during Game 5, notching three points, including the game-winning goal, but he is expected to start Monday's game on the second line with Lars Eller, replacing the possibly-injured Backstrom.
