Anthony Mantha Returns To Washington Lineup
2 years agoWashington Capitals winger Anthony Mantha will come out of the press box and rejoin the lineup for Saturday's battle against Philadelphia. He has been one of the odd men out after Nicklas Backstrom and Tom Wilson were able to make their season debuts. However, after missing two games, Mantha will now jump back into the lineup and it looks like Dylan Strome is getting scratched. Mantha has had some good spells, and 23 points in 42 games isn't a horrible return, but he is capable of doing much better and maybe the short stint on the sidelines will help him to return to form. He will skate with Nic Dowd and T.J. Oshie in even-strength situations and should also log time on the second power-play unit.
