Hey Hey!!!!  Fehervary is back off the injured list and in the lineup.


Sucks for Alexeyev, but oh well.  I'd just as soon see him in for someone else, but management is going to do what they're gonna do.  It may be that Alexeyev feels most comfortable on the left side, and the Caps need to keep someone else in to play RD.
