After dominating the Capitals a few nights ago, the Canes return home in hopes of doing it again. The Canes will look to keep rolling and it gets better, both Tuomo Ruutu and Joni Pitkanen skated today and both are getting closer and closer to returning.

The Canes will go with the following line-up...

Jiri Tlusty - Eric Staal - Alexander Semin

Jeff Skinner - Jordan Staal - Jussi Jokinen

Drayson Bowman - Riley Nash - Patrick Dwyer

Chris Terry - Tim Brent - Tim Wallace

Jay Harrison - Justin Faulk

Tim Gleason - Joe Corvo

Bobby Sanguinetti - Jamie McBain

Dan Ellis

Justin Peters

Inactive: Kevin Westgarth

Injured: Tuomo Ruutu (hip), Joni Pitkanen (lower body), Chad LaRose (concussion), Cam Ward (MCL)

The Capitals look like they are going to be going with Michael Neuvirth in goal who has an abysmal 1-4-1 record this year. The Caps will be without Brooks Laich, Tom Poti, John Erskine, Mike Green, and Jack Hillen.

Season Leaders

Chris Terry is 1st in shot percentage at 100%

Eric Staal is 2nd in +/- rating at +20

Alexander Semin is 3rd in +/- rating at +19

Eric Staal is 5th in game winning goals with 4

Eric Staal is 6th in points with 31

      We signed Lloyd

      I don’t think we would spend that kind of money on a LB that can’t play all 3 downs. It said he played 331 coverage snaps last year and only gave up one TD so him not being a coverage LB seems kinda like BS?

      Moton should be back in 27 just due to the guarantees. I can't see us cutting him and eating that cap hit. Trade might be a bit different, but how many teams trade for 20m tackles?  I wouldn't be surprised to see us take 2 this year, 1 in the first and one in the 4th that has potential to play inside if they don't develop as quickly. Our line is awfully thin atm with the unknown injury Hunt got during the postseason. Even if Hunt's ok, we still lack depth. I could see is walking away from this draft with 2 tackles and a center, especially if we move down to pick up an extra 3rd or 4th.

      He was so up and down for 4 seasons. They declined his 5 year option for a reason  Oloukon has been their LB1.  Evero loves to send pressure so my guess is if Lloyd is going to be used a 3 down back here he’ll be blitzing on 3rd down a lot. Would’ve liked to have signed someone a lot quicker if that’s the case. Lloyd isn’t very explosive. Used to be
