Player Notes

The Washington Post reports that John Erskine (concussion) is aiming to return on Tuesday, though it's possible he could be back Saturday in Columbus.

Our View:He did not skate on Friday, so don't expect him back Saturday. He will not score many points, by he knows how to accumulate penalty minutes.

The Capitals signed John Erskine a two-year contract extension on Tuesday, according to the AP.

Our View:The 28-year-old signed with the Capitals in September 2006 and appeared in 51 games with the team last season, recording two goals, a career-high seven assists and 96 penalty minutes. He does not hold much value except for his knack of accumulating penalty minutes.

Capitals defenseman John Erskine may be unable to play against Phoenix due to a leg injury suffered Tuesday, according to the Washington Post.

Our View:Erskine did practice some Wednesday, but the team still does not know his availability. Sergei Fedorov will move to defense if Erskine can't go.
