Johnson Will Start

Just got back from the morning skate. Nothing much going on, except for a few lineup changes.

Brent Johnson will face Ed Belfour in net tonight as the Caps try to end a four-game losing streak against the Panthers at BankAtlantic Center. A victory will all but eliminate Florida from the playoff race.

Also, defenseman Steve Eminger will return from a mild concussion and replace Bryan Muir, who will be a healthy scratch.
