Semin, Alexander

Semin is expected to return to the Capitals lineup Wednesday against the Lightning, reports the Washington Post. He has recovered from an injured right ankle but still feels some temporary discomfort. Unless he wakes up this morning in terrible shape, expect the Russian sniper to be in the lineup.

Semin aggravated his ankle injury during Saturday's victory over the Hurricanes and did not make the trip to New York, reports the Washington Post. It is unclear exactly how long he will be sidelined.
