Wings 2, Caps 5

Not a great game last night. The Wings had mostly minor leaguers in while the Caps had their two top lines so it was pretty lopsided. Ray Whitney and Jamie Rivers scored for the Wings but the Caps were in the lead the whole time. Legace and Lamothe shared the goaltending responsibilities for the Wings. Some bad news, Darren McCarty got into a fight with Rick Berry but left the game afterward to get his hand X-rayed. Not very encouraging. Pre-season injuries can ruin a whole season (just look at what happened to Devereaux last year) and the Wings are going to need McCarty to be on the top of his game this year. Hopefully the Wings will make a better showing tonight when they face the Rangers at the Joe. Hatcher and Hasek will each make their debuts and maybe we'll see more veterans out there. The game starts at 7:30 and will be on FSN and 1270. GO WINGS!!!
