Well, didn't they lay an egg? There is no explanation to do justice to losing to a team that had one win on its own ice in nine tries, whose wins coming into this game came against teams with a combined 22-28-12 record. But the Caps found a way to lose to such a team tonight, dropping a 2-1 Gimmick loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs in Toronto. It isn’t even as if Toronto played an especially inspired...

Now that’s what a 60-minute effort looks like. The Caps did not wilt when the New York Rangers scored 1:16 into the game; they didn’t wilt after they took a lead, only to see the Rangers tie the game in the third period. It wasn’t a perfect game, but it was 60 minutes of honest effort, and the Caps were rewarded for it with a 4-2 win over the Rangers at Madison Square Garden. It was...

Coach Bruce Boudreau said Milan Jurcina will miss tonight's game against Minnesota and probably Saturday's game in New Jersey with a pulled muscle in his lower body. Boudreau also said Jeff Schultz will be a healthy scratch, so that means Tyler Sloan will return to the lineup. David Steckel's status, meantime, remains up in the air. He was scheduled to arrive back in town this morning after the death...

Here's the latest infirmary report: Alex Ovechkin (left shoulder strain) has unofficially been upgraded to "questionable" for this weekend's games; Mike Green (upper body) and Alexander Semin (right wrist) will suit up tonight; Boyd Gordon (sore back) could return by this weekend; and Jeff Schultz (lower body) returned to practice this morning but isn't quite ready to play. That's certainly...

Taking pity on the Twitter-less this morning. Here are a few updates from @tarikelbashir (I'll add more as he tweets): * Alex Ovechkin and Jeff Schultz skated with S&C coach Mark Nemish before the team practice. * Alexander Semin, who is nursing a few injuries, including a sore wrist, is back on the ice this morning.

Practice just started at KCI, and I don't see Alex Ovechkin, Jeff Schultz or Michael Nylander on the ice. Ovechkin, or course, is out with a strain near his left shoulder; Schultz left Friday's game with a lower body injury; and Nylander was placed on waivers on Saturday. Nylander is scheduled to clear waivers at noon today. Mike Green, however, has returned after missing Saturday's game with an upper...

Tomas Fleischmann scored twice during Washington's five-goal third period, and the short-handed Capitals beat the visiting Florida Panthers, 7-4, Saturday night for a sweep of their home-and-home series. Washington played a third straight game without two-time NHL Most Valuable Player Alex Ovechkin , who has an upper body injury. The Capitals were also without injured defensemen Mike Green and Jeff...

Jose Theodore will be back between the pipes tonight against the Panthers, but the Caps will be without Mike Green and Jeff Schultz. Both defensemen were injured last night in the Caps' 4-1 win at Florida and are listed as day-to-day. Scott Clemmensen, meantime, will start for the Panthers. Coach Bruce Boudreau said he does not believe the injuries to Green (upper body) and Schultz (lower body) are...

Mark Giannotto checking in from a mostly empty Kettler Capitals Iceplex this morning... A groggy Bruce Boudreau just spoke with the media after arriving back into town from Florida at 2 a.m. First and foremost on his mind were the injuries suffered by defensemen Mike Green (upper body) and Jeff Schultz (lower body) during last night's 4-1 victory over Florida. Both Green and Schultz will be "game-time...

A few quick updates: The Caps have placed Alex Ovechkin, who is still nursing a strain near his left shoulder, on injured reserve to make room for Eric Fehr on the roster. Ovechkin could, however, still return Wednesday against the Isles. Mike Green and Jeff Schultz, who both left last night's game with injuries, will be game-time decisions tonight against Florida at Verizon Center. Also, Shaone Morrisonn...

Wishes do come true. And that is not always a good thing. One wish coming true that falls on the good side is that the Capitals beat the Florida Panthers last night, 4-1, in the front end of a weekend back-to-back to end a three-game winless streak. The wishes Caps fans might have to see Hershey defensemen Karl Alzner and/or John Carlson in the lineup could come true at the price of the loss of Mike...

The Caps snapped a three game losing streak with a thorough 4-1 win tonight over the Panthers. But the story, once again, was the loss of key players to injury. Already without Alex Ovechkin, Mike Green and Jeff Schultz went down with upper and lower body injuries, respectively. Both are questionable for tomorrow's rematch between the Southeast Division rivals at Verizon Center. Something else to keep...

Mike Green suffered an upper body injury in the first period and did not return. He told me on the way to the team bus that he hopes to play Saturday, but won't know whether he'll be able to until tomorrow morning. Jeff Schultz sustained a lower body injury in the second period and also did not return. He was spotted limping out of the visitors' dressing room here at BankAtlantic Center, an his status...
