Back to the grindstone this evening as the Capitals - sans Semin - head into Sunrise (Live Game Chat, 6:30). A few folks to keep an eye on:

• Though he's collected a steady 4 points (2g) in his last five games, winger David Booth has a -4 in that same period
• Speaking of plus/minus, center Shawn Matthias is a -7 (with 1 assist) since December 22nd, a span of nine games
• Michael Frolik is pointless in the past two, with 7 shots...all against Carolina on Friday

Victory without two of these three bringing their "A" game is just about unthinkable; have to expect something to bang Matty's head back into shape, and soon.
