line combinations for the Washington Capitals

February 20, 2012

Washington Capitals at Carolina Hurricanes

Vokoun got the early hook allowing 2 goals on just 7 shots. Neuvirth fared a little better stopping 30 of 33 for at least a decent SV%. Hunter has a tough choice for next game, but expect Vokoun to get another shot.

Green was back with his old defensive partner Schultz, and was the QB on the second PP. He's slowly getting more ice time, and offesive opportunities. He played just over 21 minutes, 7 more minutes than last game.
