Erskine in, Pothier out for Caps

The Caps are finishing up the warmup skate, and there appear to be some changes. It looks like John Erskine will play after missing eight games with a hand injury, and Brian Pothier will be a healthy scratch because of it.

The defense pairings, based on warmups, are Morrisonn-Green, Poti-Erskine, Schultz-Jurcina.

Also, the new top line is Laich-Backstrom-Semin, with Fleischmann-Morrison-Knuble as the second unit. Bruce Boudreau basically just flopped Backstrom and Knuble.
