(Jeff Gross/Getty Images) Capitals goaltender Jose Theodore continues to cope with the pain from the death of his infant son in August, and somehow finds the focus required to achieve success on the ice: "Obviously, it's a tough story for anybody," he said. "It's not something people are comfortable...

Washington's Michal Neuvirth and Montreal's Carey Price each came off the ice first during their respective morning skates, so it looks like they'll be your starting netminders tonight at Bell Centre as the Caps look to tie the second-longest winning streak in NHL history. The big news this morning was...

It's not often an escape from winter weather involves a trip up to Canada, but that's exactly the situation in which the Capitals find themselves. The team held an early 9 a.m. practice in order to catch a flight to Montreal before the D.C. area is hit with another heavy...

The Caps just wrapped up their morning skate here at TD Banknorth, and it doesn't appear as though there will be any surprises with the lineup. Jose Theodore came off the ice first and will start in net tonight as they go for a franchise-record 11th straight win. The veteran...

The Capitals had a short morning skate at KCI today, and while the mood was predictably upbeat in the locker room, there remained uncertainty surrounding who would be starting in goal tonight against Florida. Jose Theodore, who suffered a hip flexor Tuesday night against the New York Islanders, participated and...

(Jonathan Newton/The Washington Post) Jose Theodore says he could be ready to return tomorrow after suffering a hip flexor injury Tuesday night on Long Island. Theodore practiced for about 40 minutes and told me afterward that he's recovering faster than expected. He said he suffered the injury in the...

Jose Theodore, who is sidelined with a suspected hip flexor injury, is on the ice and facing shots from Tyler Sloan, Matt Bradley, Quintin Laing and the assistant coaches. Theodore doesn't seem to be having any trouble getting up and down. If all goes well, it's possible, if not likely,...

The big news today at Kettler was the the reappearance of goalie Semyon Varlamov on the ice. It was so big that, as Varlamov finished his workout and went over to sign some autographs, a UPS delivery driver who had just finished dropping a package off at Kettler started asking...

With goalie Jose Theodore sidelined, Michal Neuvirth, who stopped all 11 shots he faced in relief last night against the Islanders, will be between the pipes tonight against the Anaheim Ducks. In his last start against the Coyotes Saturday, Neuvirth stopped 28 of the 30 shots he faced in a...

Michal Neuvirth and Braden Holtby were two of the first players on the ice this morning here at Kettler. They're out there right now with Quintin Laing, Brian Pothier, John Erskine, Jeff Schultz and Tyler Sloan. Coach Bruce Boudreau followed them out shortly thereafter, telling me, "you're not gonna get...

Jose Theodore will start in net tonight at Nassau Coliseum as the Eastern Conference-leading Caps go for a season-best seventh victory in a row. If they win, it will match the longest streak of Coach Bruce Boudreau's tenure (he's done it twice before). Theodore will likely face Dwayne Roloson, who...

Ken Campbell of The Hockey News joined tonight's postgame video to assess the Caps' 6-3 win over the Pens: Yeah, it's just one regular season win. But this was a huge one for the Caps' collective psyche. They desperately needed it to delete all memory of their Game 7 loss...

Jose Theodore will be between the pipes tonight against the Red Wings, and by making his third straight start, the veteran appears to have regained the No. 1 role in Semyon Varlamov's absence. "He was relegated to the backup role because the kids were playing so good, [but] now it's...

Coach Bruce Boudreau said he plans to tap Jose Theodore to start tonight against the Maple Leafs as a reward for the veteran's impressive performance in relief of Michal Neuvirth on Wednesday night. The rest of the Caps' lineup, though, is unclear because of Alexander Semin's undisclosed injury. If the...

One day after Karl Alzner was sent down, Coach Bruce Boudreau said the young defenseman's demotion to the Bears might only be temporary. "We're healthy with eight defensemen and we wanted that right-hand guy in there [Brian Pothier], so if [Alzner] was going to sit out a couple games, why...
