The Capitals will also see Andrew Cristall suit up again after a standout performance on Sunday.
ARLINGTON, V.A. — For the Washington Capitals, Tuesday's preseason tilt against the Boston Bruins will be something of a family affair.
Aliaksei Protas and his younger brother, Ilya, who was taken in the third round of this year's draft, are both on the roster for Tuesday's tilt and figure to play together for the first time in the same organization.
In addition to the brothers suiting up, Pierre-Luc Dubois is also on the roster headed to Boston, as is Matt Roy. It would mark both of their Capitals debuts.
Also on the roster are Andrew Cristall, who made a great impression with a star-studded outing in Sunday's preseason loss, as well as Terik Parascak, Ethan Bear, Vincent Iorio and Mitchell Gibson, who will likely split the net with Hunter Shepard.
There are 13 forwards and seven defensemen listed, so one in each category could sit out, but Mike Sgarbossa is also listed, indicating he could play after taking a puck to the face on Saturday and missing Sunday's game. He did skate with the non-game group on Sunday, though, which is a good sign.
Here's the full roster for Tuesday's matchup in Beantown:
Forwards: Terik Parascak, Aliaksei Protas, Mike Sgarbossa, Connor McMichael, Andrew Cristall, Hendrix Lapierre, Tom Wilson, Ethen Frank, Henrik Rybinski, Ilya Protas, Ivan Miroshnichenko, Pierrick Dubé, Pierre-Luc Dubois
Defensemen: Vincent Iorio, Matt Roy, Hardy Häman Aktell, Ethan Bear, Alex Alexeyev, Martin Fehervary, Chase Priskie
Goaltenders: Hunter Shepard, Mitchell Gibson
Washington's game and non-game groups will both skate on Tuesday at MedStar Capitals Iceplex.
The Capitals are expected to make some cuts to their 72-man training camp roster soon, as head coach Spencer Carbery said transactions were imminent following the team's loss to the Philadelphia Flyers.
After the game in Boston, Washington will head to New Jersey to take on the Devils at Prudential Center on Wednesday. The team will likely have a different roster for that affair.
