"Head coach Spencer Carbery confirmed, 'Yep, Miro will come into the lineup,' indicating that Franky is day-to-day and will miss the game against the Blues."
"Frank suffered his injury when Avalanche defenseman Devon Toews shoved him into Colorado's goal post during a net drive, limiting his ice time to just 1:22 in the first period."
"Miroshnichenko has featured in four prior games this season and has yet to find the scoresheet, with no previous experience against the Blues in his 43 career NHL games."
"Charlie Lindgren, a former Blues netminder, has a career record of 1-2-1 against St. Louis, with a 3.22 goals-against average and a .857 save percentage."
The Washington Capitals are set to begin a three-game road trip against the St. Louis Blues. Ethen Frank is sidelined due to a lower-body injury, allowing Ivan Miroshnichenko to join the lineup for the first time since January 19. Miroshnichenko, recalled after the trade deadline, has been a healthy scratch for eight games. Charlie Lindgren is projected to start in goal, having not played since March 12. The Capitals previously defeated the Blues 6-1 this season, with Alex Ovechkin scoring his 900th career goal in that game.
