Who needs Alex Ovechkin and Mike Green when you've got Mathieu Perreault and Quintin Laing? With two of the league's most talented players sidelined with injuries, secondary scoring came from all sorts of sources tonight as the Caps routed the Panthers, 7-4, with a five-goal third period. Mike Knuble had two goals and two assists. Tomas Fleischmann had a pair of goals. And, of course, Perreault and Laing chipped in, too, as the Caps proved for the second straight night that they can, in fact, generate offense without Ovechkin in the lineup. Check out my game story here and my notebook here and then come on back for some notes and quotes that didn't make the cut:
