Apparently Neuvy has been recalled, so he could possibly be getting the start tonight. Holtby was sent back.

Man...I kind of wanted to see how good Holtby is...

Same here, but maybe the pressure of 12 in a row helped the team make the decision.

[YanksNats1987]

Neuvy will indeed start.

Green and Alzner will replace Sloan and Pothier along the blue line.

THank God, I had enough of Sloan.

[YanksNats1987]

Not a good start for the Caps. This has become a trend it seems.

[YanksNats1987]

Ovi!

[Wiz kids]

I hate slow starts...

[YanksNats1987]

Erskine doing work

[YanksNats1987]

Thorburn should get the extra

[YanksNats1987]

Solid game so far.

[Wiz kids]

Solid game so far.

I dunno Caps seem to be playing down to their opponent IMO.

[Wiz kids]

Nice 13 in a row

Now Pittsburgh.
