Caps report

Last night from MCI Center:

BY THE NUMBERS

3 Games veteran center Andrew Cassels needs to play to reach the NHL milestone figure of 1,000.

QUOTABLE

“They play honest hockey. They hit you every chance they get. There is nothing cheap about their play. They are the Stanley Cup champions.”

— Caps coach Glen Hanlon on Tampa Bay.

KEY PLAYER

The Caps’ Ben Clymer won a Stanley Cup ring with Tampa Bay in the season before the lockout but last night snapped a 51-minute Washington scoreless streak by scoring against his old team.
