40 – Number of consecutive games in which Taylor Chorney was in the Caps’ lineup, which is the longest run of his career. The streak, however, will come to an end tonight. With Brooks Orpik returning to the lineup, Chorney will watch tonight’s tilt vs the Los Angeles Kings from the pressbox, which is most likely where he’ll watch most of the rest of this season, barring further injury. Chorney stepped into his role nicely though, and exits the lineup with a blueline corps leading 61.2% GF at 5v5.
