Acquired from Montreal before Tuesday's trade deadline for a second-round pick in the 2009 draft, Huet made his Capitals debut versus New Jersey Friday night and turned aside all 18 shots faced for his third shutout of the season.

| (Best E Casino) - Two clubs that could have a different look after next week's trade deadline square off tonight, as the Atlanta Thrashers take on the Toronto Maple Leafs at Air Canada Centre.
