The Capitals were back on the ice for practice today in upstate New York after taking yesterday off for travel. Some updates from a place so remote that Caps beat writer Katie Carrera is having a hard time getting a cell phone signal:
All of the forwards who are on the trip skated, including Eric Fehr, although he returned to wearing a gold no-contact jersey as he recovers from a shoulder injury. The lines remained the same as they were on Thursday night: Knuble-Backstrom-Ovechkin, Semin-Johansson-Laich, Chimera-Perreault-Hendricks, and Steckel-Gordon-Bradley. DJ King also took reps with the fourth line.
Mike Green participated fully in practice, which is a great sign in and of itself but also the fact that he made it through the cross-country flight without incident; flying can sometimes cause a recurrence of concussion symptoms. There is no word on his expected availability for tomorrow afternoon's contest with the Sabres.
That's all for now. More if it becomes available.
