Hendrix Lapierre back in Capitals lineup against Blue Jackets after being healthy scratched for two games
Briefly

Head coach Spencer Carbery emphasized the importance of speed and competition for Hendrix Lapierre, stating that he wants the young center to go out and work hard: '[I'm looking to see] speed, compete - go out and play. Not too concerned with anything structurally, just want him to go out there and work, [be] heavy on the puck, use his speed when he can, and give us good, reliable minutes.'
Despite a disappointing performance so far this season, Lapierre's team recognizes the overall potential of the line he plays on, which has good process but has struggled with puck luck, as shown by five goals allowed and zero goals scored during even-strength minutes: 'The line has been good from a process perspective with Lapierre down the middle, but they've had some tough puck luck.'
