Alex Ovechkin hasn't been spotted in a Capitals uniform since his Caps were ousted in last season's playoff run, but the All-Star sniper will be making noise Tuesday night as he is set to make his preseason debut against the Bruins.
General manager Peter Chiarelli's 20-man roster won't feature first-round pick Tyler Seguin, but bruisers Milan Lucic and Shawn Thornton, along with Blake Wheeler, Michael Ryder and Joe Colborne, will be lacing them up at the Verizon Center in a battle of two of the Eastern Conference's top teams.
In transaction news, Jeff LoVecchio was recalled from the Providence Bruins while Nathan McIver was sent down to the AHL affiliate.
