Todd Reirden retools second line and swaps D pairs, Devante Smith-Pelly returns

The Washington Capitals have again changed their lines for Game Five against the Carolina Hurricanes, tonight at 8 PM in DC. Devante Smith-Pelly will make his return on the fourth line, and Carl Hagelin will try to fill the hole left by TJ Oshie’s injury.

Carl Hagelin basically takes Oshie’s spot, switching to the right side of Evgeny Kuznetsov for a very fast line. Living legend Devante Smith-Pelly will make his 2019 playoffs debut on the fourth line with Stephenson and Dowd.

Smith-Pelly skated one round with the team’s penalty-kill unit of the morning skate.

The defensive pairs are also changed, with 21-year-old Jonas Siegenthaler next to John Carlson and Nick Jensen with Brooks Orpik. Defensive pairings have been a bit inconsistent within games, so we’ll have to see if these stick.

Upon stepping onto the ice at MedStar Capitals Iceplex, Smith-Pelly was greeted warmly.

Head coach Reirden had already said Smith-Pelly would play in Game Five. “With the situation where, to get his game back to where it was last year around this time,” Reirden said of Smith-Pelly’s assignment to Hershey, “it was important for him to play a lot of minutes.” Smith-Pelly played 20 games with the Bears.

It looks very risky.

So, the Nats game which started at 6pm, is on the alternate 99.1 tonight. Maybe one of my emails got through..
