The Giordano-Wideman pairing could benefit both players as a solid offensive unit should their past performance carry over into this season.

Wideman also in tonight
Wideman will play tonight on the third defensive pairing. Last season, the right-handed shooter scored 10 goals and 40 point in what was deemed an off season. With Mike Green and John Carlson manning the right side of the ice, expect Wideman's role to decrease significantly.

Bruce says Wideman will play Saturday. Leg is not what's bothering him. #Caps
Wideman likely needed a maintenance day as the Caps have not re-called any defensemen. Last season, the right-handed shooter scored 10 goals and 40 point in what was deemed an off season. With Mike Green and John Carlson manning the right side of the ice, expect Wideman's role to decrease significantly.

Dennis Wideman's “charley horse” in the preseason seemed like cause for concern. The Capitals defenseman did miss the final month of play last season with right leg hematoma and compartment syndrome. Wideman told reporters not to worry, because it was in the other leg. But he has been knocked around in camp and left Wednesday's practice early while teammates were doing sprints.

Last March, it was a seemingly innocent collision with the Hurricanes' Tuomo Ruutu that ended Dennis Wideman's season. It didn't look terribly bad at the time, but Wideman left with a leg injury that turned into hematoma and compartment syndrome.
Wideman is clearly bruised from the incident but should be OK. Last season, the right-handed shooter scored 10 goals and 40 point in what was deemed an off season. With Mike Green and John Carlson manning the right side of the ice, expect Wideman's role to decrease significantly.

“I’m 100 percent as far as skating and everything goes. I’m 100 percent,”
Wideman sounds confident in his ability to play up to his potential this season. Regardless, he will need to compete with John Carlson and Mike Green for valuable offensive minutes -- a task that is clearly easier said than done.
