On Monday morning the Washington Capitals signed the leader of penalty minutes in the AHL, Joel Rechlicz, to a one-year NHL contract and called him up to play in the Capitals first game since the All Star break. In that game, he played a total of 1:49 in two shifts, which both came in the first period of the Capitals 4-3 OT loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning. So that brings up the question...

TAMPA, Fla. — Joel Rechlicz doesn't need to be told what to do when he gets onto the ice. The nickname "Recker" and his fight card at just about every level of hockey speak for themselves. New Washington Capitals teammate Mike Knuble put it best, saying with a nervous laugh, ...

Since Marian's return from an extended hip injury Gabby has played very well in three games he has 3 goals added 2 assists for 5 points.
