It's possible that Joey Crabb could play in Monday night's Game 7.

Coach Adam Oates said there may be one lineup change, but he wouldn't say what it would be. Stephen Whyno of The Washington Times speculates that the change might be Crabb for rookie Tom Wilson, who has played in the past two games for the Capitals while seeing very little ice time.

Crabb had five goals in five games for Hershey Bears of #AHL during the Calder Cup playoffs. He had just two goals in 28 games with Washington this season.

Joey Crabb wasn't claimed on waivers.

Consequently, the Washington Capitals have sent Crabb down to AHL Hershey. Crabb was waived so that the Capitals could make room on their roster for Mike Green, who was on the injured reserve list until Thursday. "With Ovi moving over to the right we have more right wingers than left and [Crabb was the] odd man out," Capitals coach Adam Oates explained.

Crabb has two goals and a minus-1 in 26 games this season.
