3 years agoWashington Capitals center Connor McMichael is set to get an opportunity on the second line in Monday's meeting with the Senators. The 20-year-old enters the lineup alongside Hendrix Lapierre. Nic Dowd (lower body) will miss the matchup and is day-to-day. McMichael was Washington's first-round pick in the 2019 draft, and he's slowly started to make his way into Peter Laviolette's plans this season, appearing in three games. He's gone pointless so far but has fired off nine shots and looks to be in a great spot to perform with Anthony Mantha and T.J. Oshie lining up alongside him.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBaller
