I guess it is (fill in the blank) Curtis McElhinney's turn to "stand on his head" and be the "hot goalie" or "lobster" tonight.

You said the Caps have a scout in Columbus again, isn't that also the second time the Caps have had a scout at a Kings game(the Kings/Pens game being the previous one). In addition, the Caps got to see the Kings on Saturday too. Maybe it was more than just pre-game scouting and they are a target.
I heard that Rotislav Klesla may be traded. I wonder if he would be a guy the Caps could pick up. I don't think he would cost too much either.

Yup, you are right. Umberger and Brassard both went out and hurt and doubtful to return.
For LA, I think there is a reason they moved Handzus up to the top line when they played us. To show that he can play RW and C.

Brassard would be helpful.
