Capitals Insider - Alexander Semin not injured in car accident

Capitals forward Alexander Semin was not injured when another car rear-ended his Mercedes Benz in an accident in his hometown of Krasnoyarsk, Russia. The Capitals are looking into the minor accident.

According to a Moscow News report, a Lada Zhiguli collided with Semin's car while he was waiting at a "traffic queue."

"I didn't even realise what had happened," he said. "I was just sitting in my car and suddenly -- crash!"

Also last night, the Edmonton Journal citing an NHL source reported that the Capitals are in discussions to send forward Tomas Fleischmann to either the Edmonton Oilers for defenseman Sheldon Souray or to the Vancouver Canucks for defenseman Kevin Bieksa.

Last week, an NHL source said free agent center Eric Belanger had agreed to a deal in principle with the Capitals but that the signing was on hold until the team completed a trade. The Capitals had no comment regarding Fleischmann's or Belanger's situations.
