Analysis:

After appearing in the lineup in the Caps' season opener, Hillen has been a healthy scratch for 19 consecutive games. Hillen will slot in next to Nate Schmidt on the third pairing in the match against his former team, but his stay in the lineup will likely end once Mike Green (upper body) returns from his injury, which is believed to be a day-to-day concern at this juncture.
