Despite taking the lead on a Jagr goal, the Caps lost 5-1 to the Red Wings on Saturday night. But at least they didn't give up the fight like in previous games. The Caps are in Atlanta tonight to take on the southeast division leading Thrashers, with rookie goalie Maxime Ouellet set to make his Caps debut.
Back over this side of the pond, two goals from Juan Pablo Angel helped Villa beat Wolves 3-2 at Villa Park. The win gave Villa a valuable three points - lifting them out of the relegation zone - but despite all that, Villa boss David O'Leary was unhappy with the performance. Next up for Villa: Chelsea in the Carling Cup.
