Captain Alex Ovechkin will be leading the Washington Captials in Thursday's NHL preseason game against the Red Wings.

A handful of the best the Washington Capitals have to offer, including captain Alex Ovechkin, will be providing the opposition for the Detroit Red Wings Thursday in the club’s second NHL preseason game.

Ovechkin, Nicklas Backstrom, Tom Wilson, T.J. Oshie and Evgeny Kuznetsov are all suiting up for the Capitals.

Detroit, 4-3 winners over the Pittsburgh Penguins in their first outing of the preseason, won’t be seeing ex-Red Wings Anthony Mantha or Nick Jensen, however. Neither were given inclusion in the Washington lineup for the game.
