Capitals Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)
The Caps have Sunday off—and they sure can use it.
After playing seven games in 11 days, the Caps get a break. They looked tired throughout their 3-0 loss to the Blue Jackets on Saturday and will get a chance to recharge their batteries.
The schedule-maker and luck weren't on the team's side in recent days. Going to California, then the Midwest, then Washington and then Columbus in a week—with at least eight players out with injuries—is not an easy proposition.
Still, the Caps played well and could have won this game, but goaltender Steve Mason took charge for the Blue Jackets and pulled it out, almost on his own.
The Caps clearly looked tired in the third period, but that's to be expected after a stretch like this one. |
Nash, Mason too much for Capitals (AP)
Rick Nash is the Columbus Blue Jackets' best player, captain -- and apparently the top marketing guy for the club. Nash scored twice and rookie goaltender Steve Mason stopped 26 shots to lead Columbus to a 3-0 victory over the Washington Capitals on Saturday night, ending the Blue Jackets' three-game home losing skid.

Theodore stops 28 shots in Caps' 3-0 win (AP)
Jose Theodore tried to downplay the importance of his shutout against his old Montreal Canadiens teammates. Theodore, who spent parts of 10 seasons with Montreal before being traded to Colorado in March 2006, made 28 saves for the first shutout with Washington in the Capitals' 3-0 victory over the Canadiens on Friday night.

Washington ends 3-game losing skid, tops Atlanta (AP)
Missing seven injured players? No problem. Not with Alex Ovechkin in the lineup Wednesday night. Ovechkin had his sixth career hat trick and added an assist to help the Capitals end a three-game losing streak with a 5-3 victory over the Thrashers. "It was a great start for us, especially the hat trick and then the winning," Ovechkin said. |
Clark out 3 weeks-plus for injury-plagued Capitals (AP)
Washington Capitals forward Chris Clark will be sidelined at least three weeks with a stress fracture in his forearm, the latest injury setback for a team that had to recall four players from the minors for Wednesday night's game against the Atlanta Thrashers. Defensemen Karl Alzner and Sami Lepisto and forwards Chris Bourque and Graham Mink were recalled from Hershey of the AHL by the Capitals,... |
Capitals recall four from Hershey (PA SportsTicker)
WASHINGTON (Ticker) - The Washington Capitals on Wednesday recalled defensemen Karl Alzner and Sami Lepisto, left wing Chris Bourque and right wing Graham Mink from Hershey of the American Hockey League. |
Wild get 2 goals from rookie in 4-3 win over Caps (AP)
Forget those nerve-racking final 6 minutes for now. The Minnesota Wild were just happy with a productive performance during the first 54. Cal Clutterbuck's first two NHL goals gave the Wild a badly needed offensive boost that was strong enough to withstand three late scores by the injury-depleted and travel-weary Washington Capitals in a 4-3 victory Monday night.

Clowe's 2 goals lead Sharks in 7-2 win over Caps (AP)
Coach Todd McLellan insisted his San Jose Sharks had a good bit of rink rust after a four-day layoff. He thought their legs were heavy and their passes weren't crisp for about 30 minutes. That was news to the Washington Capitals, who couldn't spot a weakness while getting routed by the NHL's overall leaders.
