Practice: Mar. 5

The Washington Capitals were on ice at 11 AM this morning for their practice in Florida.  The practice was held at a suburban rink near Sunrise, and not at the Panthers practice facility.

Everyone on the trip was on the ice for practice after yesterday's optional skate saw nearly half the team take the day off.  This included Tom Poti and Eric Fehr, who are still working their way back from injuries that have kept them sidelined for longer than six weeks now.  Fehr could return at some point this weekend, but Poti is not expected to play barring some rapid improvement.  However, Poti has now skated fully two days in a row, which means that his cortisone shot is kicking in and he is feeling much better.

That's all for now.  Check back later.
