Greenway (upper body) is day-to-day but a possibility to return on Friday vs. Phildaelphia.

Greenway played 20:30 time-on-ice in Saturday's 3-0 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs, did not play on Tuesday, but could return on Friday. Greenway was a game-time decision last Friday due to an undisclosed ailment but ended up drawing into the lineup.

Ekblad (undisclosed) is out Thursday vs. Ottawa but expected to return for the beginning of the playoffs.

Ekblad exited Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Montreal Canadiens after playing only 7:16 time-on-ice due to an undisclosed injury. Ekblad's presence on the blueline will be a critical blow for the Panthers for the remainder of the season but all indications point to him being ready for the playoffs.

Aaron Ekblad
Bogosian (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision vs. Colorado.

Bogosian played 21:47 in his last outing and recorded one assist but is battling an undisclosed injury and his status for Thursday's game against the Colorado Avalanche is up in the air. If he can play, he will likely skate on the second defensive pair with Jonas Brodin.

Zach Bogosian
Jarry (illness) will return and back up on Thursday in Washington.

Jarry will serve as the backup on Thursday to Alex Nedeljkovic, who has performed admirably lately and will start for the third time in the last four days. With the Penguins in a heated race for the final playoff position in the Eastern Conference, they will likely continue to roll with Nedeljkovic as long as he regularly continues giving them a chance to win.

Tristan Jarry
Kuemper (undisclosed) left Wednesday's practice due to injury but was a full participant Thursday and expected to back up vs. Pittsburgh.

Kuemper has only started one of the last 10 games for the Capitals but with an impending back-to-back against the Pittsburgh Penguins and Carolina Hurricanes, he will likely see some action if he can suit up. The 33-year-old Kuemper has had a forgettable season, posting an ugly 3.32 GAA and .888 SV% in 33 games (13-13-3).

Darcy Kuemper
Couturier (sprained shoulder) is considered day-to-day and will miss at least the next two games.

Couturier played only 3:21 before exiting Monday's 4-3 loss to the New York Islanders with a shoulder injury. The 31-year-old Couturier has only one point in his last 15 games and is averaging only 10:11 time-on-ice in the last six games since being a healthy scratch. He is considered day-to-day with no exact timetable for his return but is expected to miss at least the next two games.

Sean Couturier
MacDermid (lower body) will return to New Jersey's lineup on Wednesday vs. the Rangers.

MacDermid has missed the Devils' previous four games due to a lower-body injury but will return for the second half of their back-to-back on Wednesday vs. the Rangers. The 30-year-old bruising hybrid player chose a good day to return as many are expecting him to finally square up with New York's Matthew Rempe. He has an assist, three SOG and 30 PIMs in 10 games played with the Devils since being acquired at the trade deadline.

Kurtis MacDermid
McTavish (lower body) left Tuesday's game early due to injury and did not return.

McTavish scored a goal before exiting Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Calgary Flames with only 6:32 of ice time due to a lower-body injury. McTavish has goals in back-to-back games after being held without a point for 10 straight.

Mason McTavish
Kuemper (undisclosed) left Wednesday's practice wincing and will be a game-time decision on Thursday vs. Pittsburgh.

Kuemper has only started one of the last 10 games for the Capitals but with an impending back-to-back against the Pittsburgh Penguins and Carolina Hurricanes, he would likely see some action if he can suit up. The 33-year-old Kuemper has had a forgettable season, posting an ugly 3.32 GAA and .888 SV% in 33 games (13-13-3).
