It’s obvious that Eric Fehr wishes he could play in this game.
Of course, he also has felt that way about each of the eight he has sat out this season while recovering from elbow surgery.
But this game, the one against Washington at 8:08 p.m.Wednesday at Verizon Center, is a little different.
Fehr has appeared in 454 NHL games, and he pulled on a Capitals sweater for all but 35 of them.
Unfortunately for Fehr, he won’t be eligible to come off the Long-Term Injured list until the Penguins’ game Saturday in Toronto, so he’ll spend their first game against his old team in street clothes.
