Lucas Johansen To Make Postseason Debut Tuesday
Washington Capitals defenseman Lucas Johansen is set to make his NHL postseason debut on Tuesday against the New York Rangers. The 26-year-old appeared in six regular-season games with the Caps this season, notching an assist in that time, but will get into a postseason contest for the first time in Game 2. "It's pretty exciting. I'm really looking forward to it," Johansen said following an optional skate Tuesday. "We're going to be ready to go tonight and I'm really looking forward to it. It's a pretty cool spot to be doing it for the first time." In addition to his six NHL games, Johansen also appeared in 22 AHL contests, noticing two goals and 12 points in that time. The Caps will look to even the series at one game apiece on Tuesday.
