Dunn was already ruled out for the Blues road trip so they placed him on IR to open up a roster spot to bring Jake Walman up from Chicago (AHL) and on the road trip.
Dunn has missed the last two games and will miss at least two more games as he is sidelined with an illness. Monitor his status heading into next Tuesday’s home game vs. the Panthers.
Dunn will miss his second straight game with an illness but should be available for the Blues’ back-to-back on Saturday/Sunday.
Burakovsky has struggled since returning from a thumb injury and has picked up just eight points (3G / 5A) in 19 games this season. Burakovsky has game-breaking talent and a great shot but has struggled to find his way early in his NHL career. Tonight he will sit for Chandler Stephenson.
Grubauer gave up three goals on 27 shots in the Capitals loss in Arizona last Friday. The Capitals have another back-to-back on Wednesday/Thursday so Grubauer will likely go tonight and Braden Holtby tomorrow. Grubauer has played betttwe as of late, going 2-0-1 with a 1.37 GAA and .947 SV% in his last four appearances.
Stephenson will miss Wednesday’s game against the Rangers and will be replaced by Alex Chiasson. Stephenson is day-to-day but could be back in the lineup when the Capitals return home for Wednesday’s game vs. the Bruins.

Grubauer stopped all 17 shots that he faced in relief of Braden Holtby in the Capitals loss to the Islanders on December 11th. The Capitals have a back-to-back on Friday/Saturday so it looks like Grubauer will go tonight in Arizona. He had a terrible start to the season, but has stopped 66 of the last 68 shots (.971 SV%) that he has faced.

Montour served as a healthy scratch in New York on Tuesday but will replace Andy Welinski tonight in Brooklyn. After a night off the Ducks hope Montour can get back to being a productive defenseman. He has 16 points (6G / 10A) in 33 games this season.
Grubauer stopped all 18 shots that he faced replacing Braden Holtby in the Capitals loss in Brooklyn last night. The Capitals may go back to Grubauer tonight after another strong outing. In his last three appearances, Grubauer has turned away 66 of 68 shots (.971 SV%). Don’t expect the Capitals to announce a starter until they get to the rink closer to game time.
