What's the situation with Orlov?

Injured? Skating? At camp?

Wilson is attending camp. Any reason to get excited? My pool values players with points and PIM potential but my findings indicate he's years away.

Here's hoping Holtby doesn't get smashed on opening night. I would prefer to not have a platoon in net!

Keep an Eye on Eric Fehr. He is way under rated this season due to missing most of the season last year with injuries. He is a great acquisition for the Caps and will be fighting to be resigned and get more money. He is most likely available in most leagues since he is so under valued.

#16 Eric Fehr - Uno Seis in yo face!


GO CAPS!!!!

Ovi playing RW and has played all 4 mins of the 1st two powerplays.

The big Ovi news other than playing RW is that he is also being used on the PK. Hunter and BB never used him on the PK. We will see how long it lasts.

Caps sticking with the same lines at practice yesterday. Dale Hunter and Bruce Boudreau constantly changed lines last season. Hopefully Oates is planning to try keeping lines consistent which would allow for teammates to build some on-ice chemistry. In other news, Jack Hillen has been places on IR and the Caps have recalled Tomas Kundratek from the Hershey Bears.

Kundratek Stats for 2012-2013 AHL season:

GP: 41
G: 13
A: 13
+/-: -13
PIM: 20
PPG: 6
SOG: 78

Advantages: Kundratek is more familiar with Adam Oates than the rest of the Caps since Oates was an active part of the coaching staff at Hershey during the lockout. He also leads the team in Goals, and is third in total points.

Disadvantages: Kundratek has the worst plus/minus rating for the Bears with a -13.


Anticipated lines for the Capitals home opener against the Jets:

Marcus Johansson - Nicklas Backstrom - Alex Ovechkin
Wojtek Wolski - Mike Ribeiro - Troy Brouwer
Jason Chimera - Jay Beagle - Joel Ward
Matt Hendricks - Mathieu Perreault - Joey Crabb
Karl Alzner - John Carlson
Roman Hamrlik - Mike Green
Tom Poti - Tomas Kundratek

Jeff Shultz - SCRATCH

Braden Holtby was the first goalie off of the ice this morning and appears to be starting tonight despite allowing 6 goals Saturday night against the Lightning.


Fantasy stats (team leaders):

PTS: Joel Ward (2 goals, 0 assists); Woltek Wolski (1 goal, 1 assist)
+/-: John Carlson +2
SOG: Joel Ward (5); Alex Ovechkin (4)
PIM: basically every forward except Ward, Beagle and Johansson have 2 minutes
FOW: Backtrom (10); Beagle (8); Brouwer (6); Hendricks (6)
HITS: Chimera (3); Brouwer (3)
Blocks: Carlson (4)
TOI over 20 minutes: Green (26:57); Carlson (25:02); Ovechkin (23:35); Alzner (22:31); Brouwer (21:01)
