Grubauer allowed two goals on 30 shots in the Capitals’ loss to the Rangers last Sunday and is expected to tart the tail-end of their back-to-back this afternoon.

Larsson will miss Wednesday’s game with a lower-body injury, which means that Eric Gryba will draw back into the lineup. Larsson is listed as day-to-day, so consider him as questionable for Friday’s game in Washington.
