WASHINGTON -- One night after shuffling his lines produced an overtime loss at Columbus, coach Barry Trotz and the Washington Capitals return home to face Metropolitan Division rival Pittsburgh at the Verizon Center on Wednesday night.The Capitals (9-4-2) lost for the third time in four games, 2-1, after their apparent go-ahead goal in the third period was erased by a coachs challenge and replay review ruling that T.J. Oshie was offside.Nicklas Backstrom, on a line with Oshie and Marcus Johansson, scored Washingtons lone goal. Center Jay Beagle got the start between Alex Ovechkin and Andre Burakovsky, but Ovechkin was scoreless for the fourth straight game.I thought we played better, we created more chances, Backstrom said. Just a little unlucky we couldnt get two points there.Washington has managed just five goals in four games.Back-up netminder Philipp Grubauer made 25 saves.

Wednesdays meeting will be the second between the teams following the Penguins 3-2 shootout win on opening night.Penguins coach Mike Sullivan has made some line changes as well, recently reuniting the trio of Carl Hagelin, Nick Bonino and Phil Kessel after a brief split.I thought they had a real strong game the other night. They generated a numerous amount of chances, Sullivan told the teams website. Since weve put them back together the coaching staff is very pleased with the looks that theyre getting and how theyre playing.Sullivan is also pleased with the play of Evgeni Malkin, who has 10 points in his last nine games (6 goals, 4 assists).Hes one of those players in the league that has the ability to be a difference maker, Sullivan said. Hes been very good on the power play. I think hes as dangerous a player as there is in the league off the rush. He can shoot the puck as well as pass the puck.Sidney Crosby has scored goals in seven of the nine games hes played.Tuesdays game started a stretch that will see Washington play three of four games vs. Metropolitan Division foes.Obviously when youre playing within your own division, theyre four-point games, Trotz told the teams website. Theyre extremely important, not that the other games arent. But you get an opportunity within your own division to have an effect on it.Johansson leads the Capitals with seven goals and five assists for 12 points.

Hawkins, who turns 41 in December, will compete with Rex Brothers for the closers role at spring training.ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- With the Broncos top decision-maker, John Elway, having declared the quarterback competition wide open, the team will get down to the business of choosing a starter when training-camp practices begin Thursday.And to make that call, coach Gary Kubiak said Mark Sanchez, Trevor Siemian and rookie Paxton Lynch each will get an equal amount of playing time as camp gets underway.The bottom line is, were going to give them equal reps and its an open competition, Kubiak said. Weve got a plan ... so well get an equal look at all of them.Kubiak said that, initially, Sanchez will work with the starters and that Siemian will be the second quarterback in the rotation and Lynch the third. But he also said, That will change on a day-to-day basis. ... We just want to give them all an equal opportunity.Sanchez, who was acquired in a trade with the Philadelphia Eagles this offseason, and Siemian, a seventh-round draft pick in 2015, would get the bulk of the work with the starting offense.In the wake of Peyton Mannings retirement and Brock Osweilers departure to the Houston Texans in free agency, the quarterback question will be the biggest topic of football conversation throughout the preseason for the defending Super Bowl champions.?I think its going to be wide open, Elway said Wednesday.

Well find our guy.When the Broncos offseason program concluded in June, Kubiak told all three quarterbacks how things would go in training camp.One thing we want to make sure is, every night we go up in that office and Mark had 75 throws that day, Trevor had 75 throws, Paxton, I want to be able to look at it that way, Kubiak said. I want to be fair from that standpoint, because I think they all deserve the opportunity.Kubiak said he has no timetable to make a decision. When asked what was the most important thing for the potential starter to show him, Kubiak noted that beyond getting the ball to the right people and limiting mistakes, he wanted to see a leader emerge.Who does the best job with the team? Kubiak said. I think there are a lot of things involved. Well see. ... lets let them go to work.Asked how deep into the preseason he would be willing to go to make a decision, Kubiak said, I think theyre going to tell me by how they perform and how they handle the football team.I know that they know theyre on equal footing as far as reps and whats fixing to take place. They left here [in June] knowing that. ' ' '
