Mid Week Notes

A couple things to mention here this Wednesday since there are no games:

  • It appears the Capitals/Bears are close to an agreement to loan out one of the 3 goaltenders currently in Hershey. All signs point to Michal Neuvirth being the one loaned because he is yet to dress for the Bears. By not dressing him the Caps/Bears leave open the possibility of him returning later this season.
  • Keith Aucoin was named AHL player of the week for the week ending October 12. Aucoin finished the week with 2 goals and 5 assists in 3 games. An exceptional start to the season.
  • Maxime Lacroix and Michael Dubuc were reassigned to South Carolina earlier this week. Dubuc played in the season opener for the Bears and Lacroix had yet to play. This will allow both players to play on a regular basis and get some much needed experience.
  • The Capitals will be without RW Viktor Kozlov for the next 2 weeks due to injury. There is no word of any call-ups from Hershey but the possibility is there.

That's it for now. If something happens with a goaltender I will report on it as soon as I hear it.
