Capitals Find Place For Hard Worker Jarvis

LANDOVER — When the Capitals journeyed to Toronto late last month, the stage was set for goalie Mike Palmateer’s homecoming. The Capitals were playing their best hockey ever, hot in the midst of a six-game unbeaten streak, which included a 6-2 triumph in Washington over those same Maple Leafs the night before. Toronto, meanwhile, was struggling having won but once within a 12-game span. So on a chilly November night in Ontario, the 26-year-old Toronto native suited up for his first official game in goal against the team that mercifully dealt him to Washington during the off-season. Palmateer, in his four seasons with the Maple Leafs, had practically become a folk hero. A houseful of banners welcomed him back to Maple Leaf Gardens, one in particular which read: “You may be Number…

McVie appeared shocked by the decision to…
