Washington Capitals head coach Spencer Carbery announced that defenseman Ethan Bear will make his Capitals debut against the Nashville Predators on Saturday night. Bear jumps into the lineup after Martin Fehervary was taken out of action with an injury in Friday night's loss to the New York Islanders.
Caps defense pairings Sandin-Carlson TVR-Bear Edmundson-Jensen Per The Washington Post's Bailey Johnson, Bear will start on a pairing with Trevor van Riemsdyk. TVR, also right-handed, will move to his off-hand side which he has done in the past for the Capitals.
The Capitals also recalled goaltender Hunter Shepard earlier on Saturday after Charlie Lindgren went down with his own injury early in the game against the Islanders. Carbery revealed that Shepard will get his third career NHL start after Darcy Kuemper took the loss on Long Island on Friday night.
