Status report
Wilson will move from second-line right wing to the same spot on the first line for the Capitals. Oshie, who had been on the first line, will be right wing on the third line. … Vanecek will start after backing up Samsonov in Washington's 4-3 shootout loss to Pittsburgh on Sunday. … Kapanen will debut for the Penguins after missing training camp and the first three games of the season because of an immigration issue and mandatory seven-day quarantine. He was the first-line right wing with Crosby and Guentzel during practice Monday. … DeSmith will start for the second straight game.
