(John McDonnell/The Washington Post) Even with Alex Ovechkin and Mike Green sitting up in the press box, the Caps managed to get some serious offense going -- even if it was almost all in the third period -- Saturday night: Sparked by Mathieu Perreault's first career NHL tally and a pair of late strikes from Tomas Fleischmann, the Capitals erupted for five goals in the third period and routed the Florida...

Photo by Ghost_Bear Tonight the Capitals came from behind to beat the Florida Panthers 7-4. With Alex Ovechkin and Mike Green among a slew of injured players, Mike Knuble put up four points to spark the win. The total tied his personal best, from Valentine's Day, 2003. Asked what it was like to be a leader on this team, Knuble calmly dismissed the assertion. "It's just one game," he said,...

Capitals 6, Panthers 4ScoresheetNo one can really say the Washington Capitals suffer offensively with Alex Ovechkin and Mike Green out of the line up. With both suffering from injuries and out of the line up against the Florida Panthers the Capitals didn't have much troubles putting up seven goals from five different players, including a 5 goal third period. The Caps would sweep the home and home

SUNRISE, Fla. | Playing without Alex Ovechkin is one thing, but the Washington Capitals were losing a player a period Friday night. Thanks to a three-point night from Brian Pothier, 28 saves by Jose Theodore and some excellent late work on the penalty kill, the short-handed Caps ended a three-game skid with a 4-1 victory against the Florida Panthers at BankAtlantic Center. "You can't replace Alex...

Capitals 4, Panthers 1Scoresheet - Post - TimesThe Washington Capitals may have won the game in convincing fashion, but it was the parade of defensemen off the ice that drew the most attention. The Caps were resilent when they needed to be and Brian Pothier had one heck of a hockey game with 3 points as they win game one of a home and home with the Florida Panthers, 4-1.Mike Green left after only

Well… don’t blame this one on the absence of Alex Ovechkin. Blame this 3-2 loss to the New Jersey Devils on some truly boneheaded plays and indifferent efforts. OK, New Jersey scored a goal on a fluke off-the-shin-pad shot from behind the Capitals’ net by Brian Rolston. It’s hockey, it happens, deal with it. But the other two goals? Alexander Semin takes a hooking call in his...

from Dan Rosen of NHL.com, Completely unprovoked, Washington Capitals coach Bruce Boudreau spent Tuesday morning lobbying for defenseman Mike Green to make the Canadian Olympic team. “If I’m Stevie Yzerman, I’m looking at him as one of your top pair,” Boudreau said. According to people that follow the Capitals closely, it’s the first time Boudreau has publicly made a pitch...

People who look at the Washington Capitals’ lineup do so and see a collection of extraordinarily skilled players. Alex Ovechkin is the most prolific goal scorer of this generation. Alexander Semin might have a more complete set of skills than Ovechkin on both sides of the puck. Mike Green has called to mind faint comparisons with Bobby Orr and Paul Coffey as a puck-rushing offensive defenseman....

So said Albert Einstein. The difficulty at hand is that Alex Ovechkin is listed as “week-to-week” with what is called an “upper body injury.” What that means in terms of what, precisely, Ovechkin is suffering from is really of little relevance. He is out. What is relevant is how the Capitals react to the first (apparently, at least) lengthy absence of the club’s franchise...

UNIONDALE, N.Y. | Agitators Nate Thompson and Tim Jackman are supposed to provide energy and spark for the New York Islanders, but on this night it worked the other way. Thompson's knee-on-knee hit on Washington Capitals defenseman Mike Green and other antics by Jackman helped wake up the sluggish Caps, and they rallied from a two-goal deficit to fend off the pesky Islanders 3-2 in overtime Saturday...
