If Im two feet closer to the boards, nothing happens. If Im two feet further away, nothing happens.Niskanen hopes to return to the lineup against Vancouver, but is in the NHLs concussion protocol.He practiced well and said he felt pretty good, so well what his status is (Sunday) morning, Capitals coach Barry Trotz said after practice Saturday.
