Defenseman Sergei Gonchar, who missed Wednesday's 5-2 loss with an undisclosed injury, did take the ice for what amounted to a loose pick-up hockey game yesterday and said he plans to play tonight, though Wilson said it will be a game-time decision. Should Gonchar return, veteran Joe Reekie, who contributed heavily to Buffalo's two quick goals Wednesday night, would likely be scratched for the sixth time in seven games.
The Capitals are 9-3-1-0 when they score at least three goals and are 0-10-2-0 when they score fewer than three goals

When the Colorado Avalanche boarded a charter flight Thursday to begin an important weekend trip through Vancouver, British Columbia, and Calgary, Alberta, Rob Blake was not on the passenger list.
The groin injury that knocked Blake out of the game Tuesday against Florida will keep him on the sideline until at least Monday, when the Avs play Ottawa at the Pepsi Center. Veteran defenseman Todd Gill was activated Thursday and will take Blake's place in the lineup tonight against the Vancouver Canucks at General Motors Place.
