A note from the Caps' skate across town in Arlington, Va.:

Veteran tough guy Donald Brashear and defenseman Brian Pothier of the Capitals are the odd men out for tonight's playoff opener. Captain Chris Clark (wrist) was also cleared to return, but won't dress tonight. He hasn't played since Jan. 27.

Other than backup goalie Brent Johnson, who is still recovering from February hip surgery, the Caps have a fully healthy lineup to start the playoffs, with two extra forwards and one extra blueliner.
