[NHL.com Preview - WashingtonCaps.com Preview - Official Gameday Thread]Lost a bit in the madness that surrounded the end of Wednesday night's game against Atlanta is the fact that the Caps have now dropped four straight games (two in overtime), doubling the previous season-high winless streak. Now the Caps must face the Maple Leafs without the services of checking-line center Brian Sutherby and enforcer Donald Brashear as a result of the suspensions handed down in the wake of the Atlanta game.
To fill a roster spot, Eric Fehr has been recalled from Hershey, which is exciting, and apparently Alex Semin participated fully in practice yesterday, meaning he's close to returning. The Caps are in dire need of the scoring punch that these two kids can provide, as the team has scored more than two goals only once since November 6.
