Yes the other Alex is playing lights out (8 or 9 goals already, this guy is finally healthy and will be a big factor to our success). Ovi will miss the game tonight against I think the Sabres....then return Monday or so from what I've read.

I hope the Caps can get a win tonight, to leap above the cans by a point and maintain playing at a high level consistently! I have a feeling when the great 8 returns he will start lighting the lamp, and end this drought.
