For Alexander Semin, all it took was a reminder of better days.
The Carolina Hurricanes' $35-million man scored his first goal of the season and the 500th point of his career Thursday night. And the accomplishment just happened to coincide with a visit from his old team, the Washington Capitals.
Semin scored 197 goals and 408 points in six seasons with the Capitals before bolting to the Hurricanes as a free agent in 2012.
