The Washington Capitals have signed right wing Alexander Semin to a one-year contract extension, vice president and general manager George McPhee announced today. In keeping with club policy, terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Semin, 26, is in his sixth season in the NHL, all with the Capitals. He has 35 points (18 goals, 17 assists) in 39 games this season, second on the team in goals and third in points. In 366 career games the 6’2”, 209-pound native of Krasnoyarsk, Russia, has recorded 335 points (166 goals, 169 assists) and already ranks 11th in Capitals history in goals and 19th in points.
This season Semin is tied for the league lead with three hat tricks, which came in a 35-day span from Oct. 23 to Nov. 26. His 16 goals at home rank third in the league. While he has been hampered by injury lately, he ranked second in the league in goals (18) and fifth in points (30) in the first two months of the season. His three hat tricks in 35 days were the fastest by an NHL player since 2002 (Marian Gaborik) and his natural hat trick in 4:29 on Nov. 26 was the NHL’s fastest since Jan. 8, 2009 (Bobby Ryan, 2:21).
Semin, who is coming off his first 40-goal season and a career-high 84 points, ranked seventh in the NHL in goals and 13th in points in 2010-11. His 30 even-strength goals ranked third in the league and he was tied for fifth with a +36 rating.
A first-round choice of the Capitals in the 2002 NHL Draft, 13th overall, Semin has 313 points in 314 games during the last five seasons, ranking 17th in points per game in the NHL in that time (0.997). He ranks 10th in goals in that time (156) and is one of only 12 players league-wide to score more than 25 goals in each of the last four seasons. He is on pace to hit that mark again this year. He is a combined +69 in the last three seasons, best of any Capitals forward and fifth-best in the NHL.
Now if he can just get healthy, get back to some consistent scoring and stay out of the penalty box (so maybe he can drop the nickname assigned to him by many Caps fans - "Sasha Minor").
Meanwhile, three of the youngsters are headed back down to Hershey. Jay Beagle, Mathieu Perreault and goaltender Braden Holtby will be making the slushy drive back to Chocolate Town to rejoin the Hershey Bears, the team just announced.
The move, coinciding with the NHL All-Star Weekend, will allow Holtby to participate in the AHL All-Star festivities set for Sunday and Monday in Hershey (and televised live on Comcast SportsNet).
As you know, all three players have spent time in both Hershey and Washington this season. Perreault has eight points (five goals, three assists) in 24 games with the Capitals, while Beagle has scored twice in 19 games. Holtby is 4-2-2 in eight appearances, with a 2.47 goals-against average and a .908 save percentage.

Two of Capitals Brightest En Route to 2011 NHL All-Star Weekend
After a lacklustre and disappointing shut out at the hands of the Atlanta Thrashers and Ondrej Pavelec, two of the Washington Capitals are on their way to Raleigh to join the NHL’s elite for the 2011 NHL All-Star Game presented by Discover. Alex Ovechkin will be playing in his fourth All-Star Game, having recorded a total of 6 points in his ASG appearances to date, while Mike Green will be hitting the ice in his first ASG experience (as an alternate captain). Just for giggles, the two may very well end up on opposing teams.
Green, a two-time member of the NHL’s end-of-season NHL First All-Star Team and a two-time Norris Trophy runner-up, has led NHL defense men in goals for three years in a row. He has also been tops among NHL defense men in points for the past two seasons and is one of only two active defense men with a 70-point season in his career – the other being Lidstrom, the opposing Captain. This season he ranks fourth in ice time per game among NHL defense men.
To add a little more excitement to this year’s game, the league has implemented a bit of a different format. Players will still get to show off their niftiest dekes and shooting tricks along with their blazing speed during the always-entertaining Honda All-Star Superskills Competition on Saturday, January 28 (who can forget Ovi’s props and goofy getup during the 2008-2009 exhibition – always the personality)!
But the new addition of the NHL All-Star Player Fantasy Draft may bring back memories of being selected by their childhood pals in preparation for shinny on the backyard frozen pond for many. The two team captains, Raleigh fan fave Eric Staal and future Hall of Fame Detroit defense man Nick Lidstrom, will be picking their teams by selecting among the uber-talented roster of players voted in by the fans. The captains will be assisted in the selection or “draft” by their alternate captains: our own Mike Green and Vancouver’s Ryan Kessler will be help select “Team Staal” while Tampa Bay’s Martin St. Louis and Chicago’s Patrick Kane will serve as judge and jury in drafting “Team Lidstrom.” One of the exciting aspects of this new system will be watching to see if any of the team leaders leave their real-life team mates off of their bench and the big question, will the Sedin twins finally be separated? The All-Star Fantasy Draft will take place on Friday, January 28 at 8 p.m. and will be televised on VERSUS.
All of these events lead up to big game pitting the best of the best against each other. The 2011 NHL All-Star Game will be broadcast on VERSUS on Sunday, January 30 at 4 p.m. and we hope our boys will represent us well!

Capitals News to Note
If you're like me - missing my weekly episode of HBO's 24/7, Capitals Red Line returns to Comcast SportsNet on Saturday, February 5 at 9 a.m. for your Caps behind-the-scenes viewing pleasure (minus the locker room expletives - this show's family-friendly). New episodes will air on Comcast SportsNet every Saturday at 9 a.m. through March 26.
In addition to the new, consistent time each week, CRL features three new segments this season; a special segment following Caps defenseman John Carlson’s rookie season, One on One with Mike Vogel and Cap to Cap. Host Guerin Austin returns for another season as well as Elliot Segal from Elliot in the Morning and the long-awaited return of “Professor” Bradley (can I get a "beat dat beat up fist pump for the return of Professor Bradley). Now if we can just get Matt Bradley healthy and back on the ice!
In other news, the Capitals will honor 2010 Hockey Hall of Fame inductee Dino Ciccarelli at Turn Back the Clock Night when the Caps host the Canadiens at the Phone Booth on Tuesday,
Feb. 1. The Caps will wear their NHL Winter Classic-style throwback jerseys – which will be available in a silent auction during the game – and all fans in attendance will receive a limited edition Ciccarelli Upper Deck trading card, courtesy of Comcast SportsNet.
Fans are encouraged to be in their seats early for the 7:30 p.m. game, as Ciccarelli will be honored and will participate in a ceremonial puck drop. Select Capitals alumni will be signing autographs for fans on the concourse. Entertainment throughout the evening will focus on Ciccarelli’s era with the Capitals (1989-92) and will include tribute videos and an appearance by the Capitals’ former mascot, Winger.
Ciccarelli spent 19 seasons in the NHL, four of them in Washington. He recorded 112 goals and 97 assists (209 points) in 223 career games with the Capitals. He joined the team via trade March 7, 1989, and scored 12 goals in 11 games to close out that season. He led the team with 41 goals and 79 points in 1989-90 and had a team-high 38 goals in 1991-92, his final season with the Caps.
All four of Ciccarelli’s Capitals teams made the playoffs and he was among the top two playoff goal or point scorers on the team each year. Only Alex Ovechkin (1.29) has a better career playoff points per game for the Capitals than Ciccarelli (35 points in 32 games, 1.09).
Ciccarelli joined Mike Gartner (2001), Rod Langway (2002), Larry Murphy (2004) and Scott Stevens (2007) as Capitals in the Hockey Hall of Fame.

Mike Green Named as Alternate Captain for NHL All-Star Game
Congratulations to Capitals defenseman Mike Green, who was selected as an alternative captain for next week's NHL All-Star Game in Raleigh. Green and fellow alternate captain, Ryan Kessler of the Vancouver Canucks) join the team of Captain Eric Staal from the host Carolina Hurricanes. Chicago's Patrick Kane and Martin St. Louis (Caps fans are all too familiar with this guy) were also tapped as alternates and will join future Hall of Famer Nick Lidstrom's team.
The four Alternate Captains were selected by the NHL and the NHLPA, considering input provided by the NHL All-Stars. The Alternate Captains will help with the team selection process during the new NHL All-Star Player Fantasy Draft powered by Cisco on Jan. 28. These four All-Stars will help their Captains set their team rosters and lineups for the Honda NHL SuperSkills® on Jan. 29 and the 2011 NHL All-Star Game presented by Discover on Jan. 30.
Green, a two-time member of the NHL’s end-of-season NHL First All-Star Team and a two-time Norris Trophy runner-up, has led NHL defensemen in goals for three years in a row. He has also been tops among NHL defensemen in points for the past two seasons and is one of only two active defensemen with a 70-point season in his career – the other being Lidstrom, the opposing Captain. Green this season ranks fourth in ice time per game among NHL defensemen.
Meanwhile, Green and his team mates are in the legendary hockey town (and Gabby's home town) of Toronto for tonight's bout with the Maple Leafs. The hockey-mad Toronto media have already descended upon the Cap's bench boss and apparently the Crosby concussion-gate topic just won't die.

Caps Strike First in Win against Islanders
Prior to tonight, the Caps had won four in a row at Nassau Coliseum and were 5-0-1 here since the start of the 2007-08 season. Four of those six games were decided in overtime, two of them on overtime goals by Alex Ovechkin. Well wouldn’t you know that the Great8 had a hand in getting his team on the board first, feeding the puck to an awaiting Jason Chimera in front of the crease at 3:41 in the opening period. The super speedy Chimera was moved up to play between Ovi and his pal Nick Backstrom and HM is hoping that is a permanent assignment.
End of First Period: Caps 1 – Islanders 0
Meanwhile, Nicklas Backstrom had assists in eight of the last 11 games prior to tonight, reaching the 300-point plateau. Only two Capitals all-time have reached 300 points faster than Backstrom (293 GP): Alex Ovechkin and Mike Gartner. The polite Swedish center had been in a goal-slump of late, which he burst out of by slapping in the rebound off of an Ovechkin shot on the other side of a sprawling Rick DiPietro. The Caps’ celebration didn’t last for long as Michael Grabner flew up the left side and beat Braden Holtby, who was minding the net for the ailing Varlamov and Neuvirth dynamic duo. Speaking of goaltenders, the oft-injured Rick DiPietro was healthy but channeling his best Patrick Roy imitation for much of the middle stanza. Unfortunately, the Caps did not take advantage of the many leisurely jaunts Ricky took out of the crease, leaving the Isles’ wide open. Despite the long-awaited return on talented youngster Kyle Okposo, the Isles did not add another tally in the second.
End of Second Period: Caps 2 – Islanders 1
The always scrappy Islanders picked up the tempo in the third period, ramping up the physical play. Midway through the period, Jack Hillen took exception to a clean (but wrecking) check from the gregarious Matt Hendricks and tempers flared and expletives flew. The Capitals kept up their tight forechecking pressure and the penalty kill unit squashed two more Isles’ power play attempts (the boys killed all six of New York’s power plays on the evening). Braden Holtby played a big role in defending the Islanders on the man advantage and kept Okposo, Tavares and crew off the scoreboard for the remainder of the period.
Final: Capitals 2- Islanders 1
The boys head across the border for a bout with the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday. The Leafs were literally blown away last night by the New York Rangers, who saw a four-goal night from sniper Marian Gaborik in the 7-0 rout. Surely the Capitals will be thinking about former team mate Tomas Fleischmann, who will miss the remainder of the season with a scary pulmonary embolism illness (via Adrian Dater of the Denver Post). I know Caps and Avs fans join me in sending Flash and his family prayers and best wishes for a speedy recovery...

Monday Musings: Hockey & Heels Tickets On Sale Tomorrow
After another disappointing loss at the hands of the Vancouver Canucks on Friday (and yes, the Sedin twins were mesmerizing on the ice - my twins kept commenting how "sick" their passing was), the Capitals looked a bit lethargic in the opening period of yesterday's game against a struggling Senators club. On a day when many were focused on the NFL's big stars (Mark Sanchez and Tom Brady showdown), the Capitals' brightest star, Alex Ovechkin, was again held scoreless. But the boys got a bit more zip in their step in the final period, when Brooks Laich lit the lamp against the Sens' Brian Elliott. Laich's tally marked a team-leading fifth time that he scored the Caps’ first goal of the game. And mere seconds later, Milan Michalek cross-checked Karl Alzner dangerously into the boards. As Alzner left to get checked out, his defensive partner John Carlson gained revenge on a power play blast from the blueline. Thankfully, Alzner returned and had an assist on Jason Chimera's marker, giving the Caps a 3-1 victory (and certainly adding more fuel to the hot seat that's sizzling under Sens coach Cory Clouston). It certainly wasn't the prettiest victory, but nice to be back in the win column for sure.
