So much for some goaltender zaniness in Washington. Of course, there’s still some time left for the right deal to come along.
For now though, it appears the Capitals are set in goal after calling up Semyon Varlamov and sending Michal Neuvirth down to the Hershey Bears, according to Washington Post beat writer Tarik El-Bashir:
Michal Neuvirth has been sent down. So the Caps’ goalies are Semyon Varlamov and Jose Theodore.
Varlamov was solid in last night’s win for the Hershey Bears, stopping 30-of-32. After the way Bruce Boudreau blasted him after the February 11th loss, it should be interesting to see how they handle his playing time down the stretch.
