"Tom Wilson and John Carlson will see their first action of the preseason after sitting out the first three exhibition contests. Likely Bears forward Sheldon Rempal, one of the KHL's leading scorers last season, will also get a jersey for the first time this fall. Other Capitals regulars, including Dylan Strome, Connor McMichael, Anthony Beauvillier, Matt Roy, Logan Thompson, and Charlie Lindgren, are also set to dress."
"Joining them will be a whole host of players battling for the very few open roster spots still available: Andrew Cristall, Hendrix Lapierre, Ethen Frank, Henrik Rybinski, Ilya Protas, Ivan Miroshnichenko, Bogdan Trineyev, Vincent Iorio, and Dylan McIlrath. Alex Ovechkin will not be making the trip up with the Capitals despite now being a full participant in practices. Carbery said earlier in camp that he'd like to see Ovechkin play in two preseason games ahead of Opening Night against the Boston Bruins on October 8."
