Big lineup changes before the Caps take on VGK Tuesday night | Roy injury status | Thompson in against his old team

The Washington Capitals have made significant lineup changes after their season-opening loss to the New Jersey Devils, with Alexander Ovechkin moving to the right wing and Aliaksei Protas joining the top line. Additionally, defenseman Matt Roy is expected to be out for an extended period due to a lower-body injury, and Dylan McIlrath will fill the gap in his absence. Logan Thompson is set to make his season debut in goal for the Capitals against the Vegas Golden Knights, marking his first start since being traded to Washington from the Golden Knights.
