Status report
The Golden Knights will dress the same 18 skaters they used in a 3-1 win against the Anaheim Ducks on Sunday. … The Capitals held an optional morning skate Tuesday. … Ovechkin moves to right wing, where he played in the 2012-13 and 2013-14 seasons. … Protas moves up from the third line and Mangiapane moves from the first line to the third line. … Vrana makes his season debut in place of Milano. … Roy, who left in the second period of a 5-3 loss to the New Jersey Devils on Saturday, is day to day but Washington coach Spencer Carbery said the defenseman is “going to miss a decent amount of time.” … Thompson, acquired in a trade with the Golden Knights on June 29, makes his Capitals debut against his former team.
