Bowers is expected to miss six weeks with an upper-body injury.

Bowers played just 1:46 TOI in his NHL debut on Thursday before suffering an upper-body injury, which will sideline him for roughly six weeks. Expect him to start in the AHL once he's healthy. He's tallied six points (2G / 4A) in 10 AHL games this season.

Orlov (lower-body) will be a game-time decision on Monday.

Orlov left Saturday's game with a lower-body injury and missed Sunday's practice. He'll be a game-time decision vs. the Oilers, so monitor his status as the Capitals hit the ice for warmups at 7:30 PM ET. His availability will be key for the Capitals, who will be without John Carlson for the fifth straight game.

Colin White is day-to-day and will miss Thursday's game

Head coach Paul Maurice announced Thursday that Colin White would miss their game as he is "minorly nicked up". White has been enjoying a resurgent season after joining the Panthers in the offseason, putting up eight points (3G/5A) and 14 SOG through 10 games played.

Timothy Liljegren will make his season debut Saturday vs. Boston

Head Coach Sheldon Keefe confirmed Wednesday that the plan is for Timothy Liljegran to make his debut Saturday after missing the early part of the season due to hernia surgery. The Maple Leafs will gladly welcome back their 2017 1st round pick (17th overall) who has picked up five goals, 24 points and a +11 plus/minus across 74 career games played across the last three seasons.

Nedeljkovic led the Red Wings onto the ice for warmups.

Nedeljkovic will be looking to bounce back after a six-goal, 35-save (.854 SV%) loss against the New Jersey Devils his last time out. Nedeljkovic has struggled this season as he has taken a back seat to Ville Husson. He hopes to improve his ugly .890 SV% and 3.96 GAA. He faces an offensively strong Sabres team coming off a 4-3 overtime win over Chicago. Buffalo surprisingly ranks 5th in the NHL in goals for per game (3.63).
