The Caps are wrapping up the morning skate right now. Shaone Morrisonn did not make the trip so he is out. Boyd Gordon and Brooks Laich have switched places again (Gordon is on the second line now and Laich is on the fourth). Brent Johnson will be in net. More to come after Bruce Boudreau talks to the media. I am willing to bet his scrum will not be as big as the small colony of people around Alex Ovechkin right now.
UPDATE (12:35 p.m.)
OK, so Laich is actually still with the second line and Gordon with the fourth, or at least that is what Boudreau just said. There was a mix-up with the jerseys. He also said there is a chance he will "ride the hot hand" in goal if Johnson plays well again tonight.
Another interesting tidbit came from when a Montreal reporter asked him about the defense. He said John Erskine has been playing well since he got back in the lineup and Milan Jurcina has been better the past two games, but Boudreau also pointed out that Mike Green has been "off his game the past four of the five games."

Good job, Corey, are you still typing with one hand?

Yeah, my hand is still all wrapped up until at least Wednesday. It isn't that much of a problem anymore. Certainly not anywhere near bad enough to keep me home from this trip.
