PREGAME NOTES:
- The kids are going to get an extended look in Boston’s preseason opener — with Jake DeBrusk, Erik Haula and Chris Wagner standing as the most tenured NHLers up front for Boston. Jeremy Swayman will get the start in net for Boston.
- The Capitals will also have plenty of youngsters in action, but a few stalwarts like Tom Wilson, Lars Eller, Dmitry Orlov and Justin Schultz are slated to earn some reps.
