Is it injury month or something? 5 of the Caps, 2 of whom are key players in their lines, are not going to be playing in tonight's game versus the Atlanta Thrashers. Boyd Gordon, Alexander Semin, Mike Green, Sergei Fedorov and Captain Chris Clark, are all on the injured list. Luckily, all of those players besides Chris Clark, as far as I know, have just day-to-day injuries and hopefully at least a few of them, like Semin and Green, will be able to play in Saturday's game in Columbus (which I'm going to cause I live in there! :D).
As a result of these physical problems, the Capitals management have called up defensemen Sami Lepisto and Karl Alzner, and forwards Chris Bourque and Graham Mink (all pictured below) from the AHL team affiliated with the Caps, the Hershey Bears.
Lepisto made his Washington Capitals NHL debut last season, Bourque has played 5 games for the Caps in 2 seasons, Mink has played 5 games as well, but in 3 seasons, and this will be Alzner's first time playing in the NHL.
Let's hope they will be able to help us get a win and the Caps will get better soon!
