    K seriously, wtf is going on with Backstrom and Green.

    I keep seeing Washington score and it's random bums like Hendricks or Kundratek or Ersikine.

    Last eight goals those two guys have a big donut

    Default Caps game 14

    Tonight the Capitals will streak into Tampa coming off of two consecutive wins in their home and home series against the Florida Panthers. The streak is in the form of five players who have all earned points in at least the last two games. Eric Fehr has 3 points (1G,2A) in the last two games, Troy Brouwer has 3 points (3G) in the last two games, Joel Ward has 4 points (1G,3A) in the last two games, Alex Ovechkin has 7 points (3G,4A) in the last five games, and Mike Ribeiro has 9 points (4G,5A) in the last five games.

    The Capitals appear to be getting back to their run and gun style of play. The Capitals were able to come from behind on Tuesday and take the victory in overtime. Troy Brouwer lead the Caps in points scoring the game winning goal along with two assists. Oveckin (1G,1A), Backstrom (2A), Fehr (1G,1A), and Ward (2A) all had multiple points.

    Karl Alzner recorded his first goal since October of last 2011. Last season the Capitals were 14-3-0 when Alzner scored a point.

    Although getting off to a bad start this season, the Capitals have improved drastically on the power play. The Capitals power play was ranked eighteenth in the league on February 1st, and are now currently tied for fourth in the league with a power play efficiency of twenty-five percent. The Capitals are 3-1-0 this season when scoring on a power play and preventing the opposition from scoring while on the penalty kill.

    Tonight's game could produce several milestones for the Capitals players. John Carlson will be playing his 200th NHL game this evening, making him the 11th player from the 2008 draft to play in 200 or more games. Eric Fehr needs one point to reach 100 career points. An assist for Mike Ribeiro tonight would give him 400 career assists in NHL. He would be on of 34th active player to record 400 assists.

    Despite Jason Chimera seeing just under six minutes of ice time on Tuesday due to lack of performance, Adam Oates is expected to keep him on the top line with Ribeiro and Ovechkin. Chimera's six assists this season ranks him third for the Capitals, behind Ribeiro (12), and Backstrom (9).

    Braden Holtby will be in the net tonight for the Caps. Holtby recorded his first shutout on Saturday against the Panthers, then allowed five goals in the rematch on Tuesday.

    Brooks Laich has been cleared for contact in practice, but his timeline for return is still unknown.

    Marcus Johansson did not travel with the team to Florida, and there have not been any updates concerning his injured status.


    Expected starting lines:
    Chimera-Ribeiro-Ovechkin
    Wolski-Backstrom-Brouwer
    Fehr-Perreault-Ward
    Hendricks-Beagle-Crabb

    Alzner-Green
    Erskine-Carlson

    Braden Holtby will be the starting goalie tonight. He is 0-1 against the Devils in his career, with a 5.06 GAA and .783 SV%. On Sunday evening against the Rangers, Holtby stopped 38 of 40 shots, his second highest number of shots blocked in his career.

    John Carlson has scored eight points in nine games played against the Devils as well as 14 penalty minutes. Carlson has more penalty minutes against the Devils than any other team in the league.

    The Capitals power play has improved over the beginning of the season. The Capitals have scored a power play goal in six of their last seven games. In that time span their power play success rate is 42.1%

    Beware of Fehr! Eric Fehr is on a four game point streak with three goals and three assists.

    Mike Green will be a game time decision for tonight's game against New Jersey.

    Marcus Johansson skated the last two days but will not play tonight. His injury was apparently sustained prior to the end of the lockout while playing in Sweden.

    Brooks Laich did not skate again today, but has been doing strength and conditioning workouts. His timeline for return is still unknown.


    Fantasy Update - The best of the last 15 days:

    Mike Ribeiro - 7 points in 5 games, 2G, 5A, 1 PPG, 2 PPA, 35 FOW
    Eric Fehr - 6 points in 5 games, 3G, 3A, +/- 5
    Alex Ovechkin - 5 points in 5 games, 3G, 3A, 2 PPG, 26 SOG
    Joel Ward - 5 points in 5 games, 1G, 4A, +/- 4
    Mathieu Perreault - 5 points in 4 games, 1G, 4A, +/- 4, 15 FOW
    Troy Brouwer - 4 points, 4 G, 2 PPG, 13 HITS
    Nicklas Backstrom - 3 points in 5 games, 3A, 2 PPA, 59 FOW
    John Carlson - 3 points in 5 games, 1G, 2A, +/- 3, 10 BLK, 1 FOW???

    Here is an article Neil Greenberg wrote for the Washington Post that digs into the penalty statistics that are plaguing the Caps this season.

    The Capitals have to play a more disciplined if they expect to have the slightest chance at not blowing leads and reaching the end of sixty minutes victoriously.

    How does Holtby look? I know he played really bad to start the season but seems to have turned it around. Worth a flyer over Bryzgalov or Backstrom in a one year?

    Really interested to see how Orlov looks tonight. I know that the Caps have generally been disappointing this season, but the additions of Orlov and Laich (who's contributions tend to be quite underrated even if they don't show up on the score sheet) are pretty big internal infusions at this late stage IMO. Tough initial test against the Pens though -- should be entertaining!

    On Friday he was playing with Ovechkin and Backstrom. As an Johansson owner I was pretty excited to see that. Now just give him that LW spot ESPN!!

    Ribiero was with Brouwer and ?Fehr.

    Ribiero made 2 beautiful assists with one being a highlight one-timer from Brouwer.
