Caps coach Bruce Boudreau just dubbed today's slate of NHL games Super Tuesday because of all the games involving potential playoff teams in the Eastern Conference.
The lineup for the Caps will be the same tonight as it was yesterday in practice. Eric Fehr moves to the second line and Donald Brashear is back in the lineup in place of Quintin Laing. Boudreau said John Erskine is ready to go and could play Thursday, but he hasn't decided when he will put him back in the lineup. Steve Eminger is in and Sami Lepisto is out in the final d-man slot. Cristobal Huet will be in net for the fourth time in five games.
