3 years agoWashington Capitals forward Hendrix Lapierre looks set to rejoin the lineup on Saturday against Philadelphia as a second-liner. He skated on the left wing of Lars Eller at the morning skate. Daniel Sprong also recently joined the line, with the Capitals having been badly struck by injuries. Lapierre is a talented 19-year-old who scored in his NHL debut on Oct. 13, but he hasn't managed to add any points to his tally since then, skating in five total games. He's been a healthy scratch for the last two games. Lapierre's current season-high in playing time stands at 10:14, and he's set to smash that on Saturday, as the 22nd pick of the 2020 draft is also set to skate on the second power-play unit.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBaller
