Status report
The Capitals did not conduct a morning skate Thursday so their lineup will not be confirmed until closer to game time. ... Lindgren is expected to start and make his Washington debut. ... The Maple Leafs will dress the same 18 skaters they used in their season-opening 4-3 loss at the Montreal Canadiens on Wednesday. ... Samsonov is expected to start and make his Toronto debut.
