The Caps lost to the New York Rangers, 3-2, last night in the penultimate preseason game. The teams will face each other again on Sunday afternoon at Verizon Center before the Caps get some time to prepare for the Oct. 1 opener in Boston. Of course, tomorrow also is the sold-out Caps Convention -- so the team still will be busy.
The most notable things to come out of last night's game: Keith Aucoin cementing a spot on the team as the third-line center (a role he should have earned last season over Michael Nylander, by the way) and Brian Pothier finally healthy enough to show why the Caps signed him a few summers back. (He's quickly jolted up to the team's second- or third-best blueliner.)
Jose Theodore didn't have the best night in net -- but he'll still make the team. At least for now.
