WASHINGTON(AP) -- The Washington Capitals say forward Quintin
Laing has the swine flu, making him at least the third NHL
player to be diagnosed with the illness this week.
Capitals spokesman Nate Ewell tells The Associated Press that
Laing is being treated for H1N1 and is being kept away from the
rest of the team.
Laing sat out Washington's 4-2 victory over the Philadelphia
Flyers on Tuesday night and will miss at least the next two
games, too.
Ewell says no other members of the Capitals have shown symptoms
of the swine flu.
Edmonton Oilers defenseman Ladislav Smid and Colorado Avalanche
goalie Peter Budaj have the swine flu, their teams announced
Tuesday.
