Par ailleurs, Michael Cammalleri et Carey Price seront à leur poste dimanche, eux qui étaient ennuyés par une grippe.

Price will face the Jets for the first time. Through 11 career appearances against the newly-defunct Atlanta Thrashers, Price posted a 5-2-0-3 record with a 2.52 GAA and .913 SV%.

But he was one of the final cuts, which is not surprising given what everyone around the Caps had to say about him Sunday and Monday. Coach Bruce Boudreau called Orlov's final exhibition game “mediocre” while general manager George McPhee, in an interview with The Washington Times, wondered if the young Russian needed more seasoning.

At this point the team has six healthy veteran defenders with two starting the year on IR. Last season, the Russian expatriate scored two goals and nine points in 19 games with the Bears. He should find a place in the lineup by next season.

The 20-year-old Russian was in the lineup as the sixth defenseman in place of Jeff Schultz and it appeared possible that the Caps could start with the pairings of Karl Alzner and John Carlson, Roman Hamrlik and Mike Green and then Orlov and Dennis Wideman.

Sounds like Orlov makes the team in place of John Erskine and Jeff Schultz. Last season, the Russian expatriate scored two goals and nine points in 19 games with the Bears. He should get a chance to play on the bottom pairing and could even chip in some points if paired with Dennis Wideman.

At first, it looked like great news for defenseman Dmitry Orlov, who has been more than impressive dating to rookie camp. The 20-year-old was Hershey's “most dominant defenseman” last year, coach Mark French said recently.

Part of the reason for Orlov remaining in Washington could also be that the Capitals might need an extra defenseman if John Erskine is unable to suit up for the start of the regular season.

Orlov probably tops the team's depth chart in Hershey. Last season, the Russian expatriate scored two goals and nine points in 19 games with the Bears. He should get a chance to play on the bottom pairing and could even chip in some points if paired with Dennis Wideman.

Assigned to Manchester of the American Hockey League were forwards Andy Andreoff, Ray Kaunisto, Brandon Kozun and Linden Vey, defensemen Nicolas Deslauriers, David Kolomatis and Patrick Mullen and goalie Martin Jones. Tyler Toffoli was re-assigned to his junior team.

No immediate fantasy value in the CHL.

Tyler Toffoli
Toffoli isn’t expected to make the Kings’ roster out of camp — he has one more season of junior eligibility, and skating and conditioning still need some improvement — but Toffoli did well for himself in the Kings’ 3-2 victory over the Coyotes last night, according to Terry Murray…

Toffoli should be returned to Juniors shortly. The right wing dominated the OHL last season, posting 57 goals and 108 points with the Ottawa 67s. Keep an eye out for him in a few years.

While there may not be a spot for Orlov on the NHL roster when the season starts, it would hardly be surprising to see him in Washington at some point if the Capitals are in need of a call-up.

In his North American debut, Orlov posted two goals and nine points in 19 games for the Hershey Bears. Ranked the Caps' third prospect by Hockey's Future, the 6 foot 197 lb defender should earn a spot in the lineup by next season if he continues to develop.
