After spending over a month without appearing in a preseason or regular-season game, the Capitals finally are going to see Michael Nylander on the ice.
Except with the Grand Rapids Griffins of the American Hockey League.
Grand Rapids, the top affiliate of the Red Wings, has agreed to let Nylander skate on a conditioning stint, to let the veteran get some game action in without being officially sent down to the AHL.
The Capitals, who certainly haven't helped Nylander's value by keeping him in the press box for 13 games, hope that they can work out a deal to send him elsewhere and reduce his salary cap hit. Even with a pair of forwards potentially out for Thursday night's game, it was clear that Nylander wasn't getting any ice time with the Capitals.
