Tonight's lineup: Lightning at Caps
Michal Neuvirth will start in net for the Capitals and oppose Tampa Bay's Dan Ellis (4-2-2, 2.11 GAA, .924 save percentage) as Washington tries to extend its winning streak, which stands at five games. The Capitals are also 7-1-0 at Verizon Center.
It appears as though Tom Poti will return to the lineup after missing the past eight games with a groin injury, and that Mike Knuble will start the game on the top line with Alex Ovechkin and Nicklas Backstrom.
Here's what tonight's lineup should look like:

I second CaptKirk's opinion -- no twitter nonsense for the game. Just let us old farts post the old fashioned way.
