  • Surprise! Joel Rechlicz was recalled pre-game and played.[WashTimes, CSNW]
• Notes and assorted whatnot from yesterday's morning skate:
  • Mike Knuble thinks "it sucks" to be healthy-scratched... and that might've been before he found out he'd be sitting for Rechilcz. [ABC7, CSNW, PHT, with more on this run of scratches for the veteran at Puck Daddy and Nosebleeds]
  • Could next week see Mike Green 's return to the lineup? [CSNW, WaPo]
• Blood is thicker than water. But not ice. Or something. [WashTimes]
• Time to make a move? [WaPo, CSNW]
• The Boss seems to think so. [Ted's Take, WaPo]
• But are they buyers or sellers? [DSP]
• And could Knuble (and maybe another Cap) be a fit with one of his former teams? [CSNNE]
• Centers, centers, centers. [Sick Unbelievable, Hockey Hourly, District Tribune]
• Hey, here's something else they'll probably blame Alex Ovechkin for. [Puck the Media]
• An Evgeny Kuznetsov non-update. [sports.ru]
• Finally, happy 37th birthday to Viktor Kozlov, happy 45th to Calle Johansson (but it is not, sadly, this former Cap's birthday).
