Sourdif has been activated from IR. Wilson remains on IR. Leason is being shown on the Hershey roster. Miroshnichenko is shown as still with the Caps.

I’ve not heard anything on what the injury even was. The way he fell it could be a couple things.

well i heard Carbs say there would be some changes but wouldn't go into it.
I see Sourdiff on the bench, so that's a plus at least.
Dowd with Ovi and Franks....seems like L1 is gonna get about 12 minutes of ice maybe.


Great Avs haven't won in 2 games first time this season.  not holding my breath here

not surprised TVR is sitting.  He wasn't good last game and he certainly doesn't have the speed or mobility for Avs
