  1. A few updates: Nuevirth to Hershey; Varly to start tonight; S. Morrisonn out tonight; Semin, B. Gordon and Jurcina stayed home.
  2. Andrew Gordon has been recalled.
  3. Tom Poti does not appear to be on the bench for the start of the third period. Asked about Poti's status, GMGM said: "Not sure."
  4. More injuries for Caps. Tom Poti has left bench. Tyler Slaon back on defense.
  5. Michal Neuvirth will start tonight, according to Bruce Boudreau.
  6. Shaone Morrisonn (head) and Milan Jurcina (leg) are out tonight, so that means rookie John Carlson will make his NHL debut.
  7. Based on the morning skate, it looks like Semyon Varlamov will be between the pipes tonight.
  8. Defenseman Shaone Morrisonn is day to day with an upper body injury. He did not skate today and played only 10:27 last night.
  9. McPhee was also less optimistic about Laing's recovery time frame than BB. McPhee said 4-6 weeks.
  10. McPhee also said Semin "could" miss the weekend with his wrist injury.
  11. GM George McPhee said no update on Michael Nylander. Judging from his body language, he's pretty exasperated about the situation.
  12. GM George McPhee said Theodore might need a few more days before playing. Which might mean Varlamov and Neuvirth will split the weekend.
  13. Alexander Semin has been spotted wearing a brace (the kind with velcro straps) on his right wrist.
  14. Chris Clark on Quintin Laing: "It's like he plays the game with someone else's body."
  15. Quintin Laing had plates inserted into his jaw last night in NYC. Bruce Boudreau hopes he'll be back sooner than expected.
  16. Defenseman Milan Jurcina (lower body) skated on his own this morning. So he's making progress.
  17. Coach Bruce Boudreau said Sean Avery talked trash to him for the entire warmup last night at MSG. The comments were mostly about BB's book.
  18. No update on Alexander Semin's status yet. Hope to have one soon. He just walked back into KCI, presumably from doctor's office.
  19. Many players are taking their option not to skate today, including Alexander Semin, who missed last night's game with a wrist injury.
  20. Jose Theodore is on the ice for practice after missing yesterday's game for family reasons.
