Alex Ovechkin is set to play right wing in the Washington Capitals' second game of the season Tuesday against Vegas. Coach Spencer Carbery called it a small change intended to balance the lineup. But it could have a big impact as Ovechkin at age 39 chases Wayne Gretzky's NHL career goals record.

“We just mix it up,” Ovechkin said. “We still have options to find out combinations. It’s the beginning of the year, new faces on the team, so we have to find the right combinations, right chemistry, so that’s what we’re trying to do right now.” “I have experience to play there, but it was a long time ,” Ovechkin said. “You start on the left or right, it doesn’t matter because in the game you’re coming from offensive zone to zone and you stay on the right side. So, play basically most of the time there — left or right.”The schedule worked out for Thompson to get the net against Vegas following Charlie Lindgren starting against the Devils, with Carbery and goalie coach Scott Murray wanting to split the first two games of the season.
Thompson in training camp made a pointed comment about the Golden Knights taking credit for goaltending and jokingly wondered if he could even play in the league elsewhere. The Capitals expect the way things ended for Thompson to be a source of motivation this season.
