Mike Green expected to miss at least the next two games

While Dennis Wideman provides defensive depth for the Capitals, the uncertain health of both Mike Green and Tom Poti makes him an even more important addition. Green, who is in Calgary with his family following the death of his grandmother, will likely miss the next two games, but Coach Bruce...

Capitals' tenor during practice is all business

There are days for lighthearted practices, when players joke and often fool around on the ice. This morning's wasn't one of them. Not even close.

Tom Poti 'questionable' against Leafs

Capitals Coach Bruce Boudreau said defenseman Tom Poti is "questionable" for Wednesday's game against Toronto, and said the assignment of Brian Fahey to Hershey is not necessarily an indication that Poti or Tyler Sloan will be ready to play. Fahey and center Mathieu Perreault were sent down after Saturday's win...
