Green may play today but Semin for sure is not

Thanks Skate. Incidentally, the Covers injury report is very often unreliable and incorrect.

Today's Lineup
Brent Johnson will start in goal today at Wachovia Center, where the Caps are going for a season-best sixth straight win. Alexander Semin (back) did not make the trip to Philly, but it looks like Mike Green (shoulder) will suit up.

Here are the expected forward combos:

Ovechkin-Backstrom-Kozlov
Fleischmann-Laich-Fehr
Giroux-Nylander-Gordon
Brashear-Steckel-Bradley

The defensive pairs are subject to change since Tyler Sloan (leg) is a game-time decision.

Geen skated in practice yesterday and said, in a quote in the Wash Post, that it ain't broke and he is going to play. Fehr played in Thurday's game v. the Blues and had the primary assist on Fleischman's goal.
Semin is a slow healer and since his previous injury was upper body, the team will be very careful not to bring him back until he is well. Caps have the luxury, with a comfortable leasd in the division of waiting with him.
Varlamov was returned to Hershey yesterday so Theodore is well enough to back up Johnson.
