Despite taking part in pregame warmups, Spurgeon will sit out for a third straight game.

Spurgeon has missed the last two games with an undisclosed injury, but his availability for warmups suggests he may return this afternoon. Monitor his status around five minutes before puck-drop to see if he is in or scratched.

Spurgeon will miss a second straight game after being listed as questionable. Spurgeon remains day-to-day and could be back on Saturday vs. the Bruins.

Spurgeon suffered a bone bruise in Saturday’s loss in St. Louis and he will miss Tuesday’s game vs. the Stars as a result. With Spurgeon out, Mike Reilly will be back in the lineup after being recalled from Iowa (AHL) and Christian Folin is expected to skate on the top pair with Ryan Suter. Spurgeon is listed as day-to-day.

Johansson suffered an upper-body injury in last Wednesday’s loss to the Flyers. He missed Mnoday’s practice and is not expected to be in the lineup on Tuesday. With Johansson listed as doubtful, the Capitals have recalled Zach Sill from Hershey (AHL).

Johansson sat out the Capitals weekend back-to-back because of a suspension, but he is set to return on Thursday. Johansson, who had 26 points (10G / 16A) in 39 games this season, is expected to skate on the third line between Jason Chimera and Tom Wilson.

Johansson will miss the Capitals back-to-back on Saturday and Sunday, but is eligible to return next Thursday vs. the Canucks. With Johansson out, the Capitals are expected to recall a forward.

Tarasenko missed the morning skate, but it was announced that he would play. However, Tarasenko will be held out of the lineup vs. the Wild.

Foligno is a late scratch with an upper-body injury and is listed as day-to-day. Foligno will be replaced by Cal O’Reilly.

Johansson was a late scratch on Saturday, but was on the ice for Tuesday’s morning skate and will play against the Red Wings. Johansson’s return means that Stanislav Galiev will be a healthy scratch and Andre Burakovsky will move to the fourth line. Johansson has 13 points (5G / 8A) in 24 games this season.

Johansson was a late scratch from Saturday’s game and missed today’s practice as well. He is listed as day-to-day, so he could be back on the ice tomorrow, but as of now, his status for Tuesday’s game vs. Detroit is in doubt.

Johansson left the team’s afternoon practice in Winnipeg early, and Coach Barry Trotz said he would be a game-time decision for Saturday’s contest against the Jets. Stanislav Galiev skated in Johansson’s place on the second line, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that’s how Washington’s lineup will look if Johansson misses the game.

Tarasenko missed Wednesday's practice, but was back on the ice for Thursday's session and skated in the morning skate. He is feeling better and will play tonight. He will skate on a new line with Paul Stastny and Jori Lehtera.

Tarasenko missed Wednesday's practice session with an illness, but was back on the ice this morning. The Blues don't play until Friday, so his return to practice today is a good sign that he will be in the lineup tomorrow.
