Wednesday Roundup – Caps 5, Devils 2

[AP RecapGame SummaryEvent Summary]

Twenty-eight skaters saw more ice time on Tuesday night.

Ten players took more shots on goal.

But Michael Nylander made his ice time (14:02) and shots count, potting both the game-winning tally (the game’s only even strength score to beat a goalie) and the third-period insurance marker in the Caps’ 5-2 victory in the home of hockey’s formerly hottest team.

Some thoughts on the game:

The Caps made a big statement on Tuesday night (on semi-national television, to boot), but now potentially face some more adversity (what else is new) with news about Brent Johnson‘s hip (more on that later) and Viktor Kozlov‘s groin (which doesn’t sound worrisome). Something tells me the train will keep a rollin’.

Elsewhere ‘Round the Rinks:

Happy 40th Birthday to former Cap Joe Sacco…. Speaking of Joes, one year ago today, we shared some Joe Finley mascot abuse news. Sadly, that was the last time we had the privilege. What gives, Joe?… Finally, thanks to everyone who contributed to the more than 1,100 comments on The Rink yesterday. Damn, that’s a lot.
