Welcome!

Welcome to Caps 'Round the Clock, a blog covering the Washington Capitals and the NHL. In season, I update the Blog after every practice and on game day with Caps news and information, and then provide a recap and analysis after each contest. I also write a periodical Prospect Watch and weekly feature pieces on the state of the Men in Red and other things Capitals. And of course, I will post videos and tidbits from around the League and offer my two cents as the season wears on. In the offseason, I write a Report Card for each player, and will keep you updated on all the news about the Caps through the summer. I'm glad you're here, and hope you come back!

Gameday: vs. Ottawa, Jan. 16

The Washington Capitals welcome the Ottawa Senators to Verizon Center today for a matinee contest between struggling teams.  Both teams are coming off losses Friday - the Capitals 4-2 to the Canucks and the Senators 3-2 to the Flames.

Andrew Gordon is expected to play for the Capitals this afternoon after being recalled from Hershey of the AHL to replace Eric Fehr, who is expected to miss 3-4 weeks with a shoulder injury.  As of right now, no other lineup changes are expected for the Capitals, which means Alex Semin likely will not return to active duty.

Bruce Boudreau has not yet tipped his hand as to his expected goaltender for the game.  One would, however, expect Semyon Varlamov to get the nod.

Game time is 3 P.M.
