By NHL.com Staff --- The Washington Capitals dressed a 6-foot-7 producer for their Web site as their backup goaltender for the start of Friday's game against the Ottawa Senators because of an injury to Jose Theodore.
Brett Leonhardt, who played Division III hockey in college and has dressed for practices when the Caps needed an extra goalie, signed an amateur tryout contract before the game. He took part in the pregame warmup and was on the bench when the game began at the Verizon Center.
