From Slava Malamud on Heavy Medal: Saturday afternoon's Team Russia practice featured a switch-around in the top two lines, with Pavel Datsyuk moving to pivot Ilya Kovalchuk and Maxim Afinogenov. This means that Evgeni Malkin will take his place on the top line, setting up the long-anticipated partnership between the...

Whether you made it to Verizon Center or not, aren't you glad this game didn't get postponed? I heard people afterward calling today's 5-4 overtime win the best regular-season game in Capitals history. Because I haven't seen each and every last one of them, I can't say whether it...

Capitals Coach Bruce Boudreau said the team would not be practicing on Monday but that the players shouldn't necessarily consider the day off as a reward for their 5-4 overtime win against Pittsburgh. It's more about rest and recovery for a team that has played three games in four days,...

Penguins Coach Dan Bylsma might not have wanted to blame the weather for his team's loss, but Alex Ovechkin had no qualms about pointing a finger at the snow for Washington's sluggish start in an eventual 5-4 win. "I think it's the weather," said Ovechkin, who got to wear the...

(Video by Dan Steinberg.) It's been somewhat of a role reversal for the Caps' and Pens' respective superstars this season, as winger Alex Ovechkin has had more assists and center Sidney Crosby is scoring more. Here's what No. 8 had to say about it: "Well, we called each other...

Caps vs. Pens. Alex vs. Sid. And, of course, Brent vs. his former teammates. Tonight's game has got it all. But since the first two rivalries have been done to death, let's talk about the other one, shall we? Brent Johnson spent the previous four seasons in Washington and was...
