Bear is expected to draw back into Washington's lineup on Tuesday vs. New Jersey.

Bear played four straight games for the Capitals before being a healthy scratch on Saturday but will return to the lineup on Tuesday night. In his last four games, Bear has zero points, one shot, and five hits while averaging less than 14 minutes of time-on-ice.

Lindgren will start on Tuesday vs. New Jersey.

Lindgren will return to the crease on Tuesday night in a divisional matchup against the New Jersey Devils. Lindgren allowed four goals on 35 shots (.886 SV%) in his last outing and has been inconsistent lately after a great start to the season. The 30-year-old netminder has one win in his last six games (1-4-1), a shutout, but has allowed three or more goals in the other five contests, posting an ugly .866 SV%. The Capitals enter action as +148 home underdogs against the Devils.

Thompson will start on Monday vs. San Jose.

Thompson has played only once in the last seven games but will return to the crease on Monday in a favourable matchup against the low-scoring San Jose Sharks. In his last two outings (0-1-1), Thompson has allowed 10 goals on 66 shots (.848 SV%). The Golden Knights enter action on Monday as -271 home favourites and will attempt to snap a two-game losing skid.

Raddysh (right quad) missed practice and will be a game-time decision on Saturday vs. Ottawa.

Raddysh missed practice on Friday due to a right quad injury and will be a game-time decision on Saturday as Chicago hosts Ottawa. The 25-year-old winger is having an incredibly disappointing 2023-24 season, with five goals, 11 points, 83 SOG, 12 PIMs and a -11 plus/minus through 49 games played. If he is able to go, he will take his usual spot on Chicago's third line and 2nd powerplay unit.

Milano (upper body) is expected to return on Saturday in Montreal.

Milano has not played since December 10th, missing 27 games with an upper-body injury, but appears to be ready for a return to the lineup on Saturday. Milano had been held to only one point (1G / 0A) in his last nine games before his injury, firing only six shots on goal and averaging 11:19 time-on-ice.

Lindgren will start on Tuesday vs. Colorado.

Lindgren snapped a four-game losing streak over the weekend and will return to the crease on Tuesday night. The 30-year-old Lindgren was sensational on Saturday, saving all 18 shots he faced in a 3-0 win over the Boston Bruins, giving him a career-high three shutouts this season. That said, the Capitals are +155 home underdogs on Tuesday, matching up poorly against the second-best offensive team in the league, the Colorado Avalanche (3.66 GF / GP).

Philp has been placed on waivers by Chicago after recovering from a successful Achilles surgery in August.

Philp had the potential to make the Blackhawks' opening night roster but was placed on the injured reserve after undergoing Achilles surgery in the offseason. The 27-year-old forward appeared in three games for Chicago in 2022-23 and picked up an assist and two PIMs. He played the majority of last season in Rockford, where he had 29 goals, 53 points and a +17 plus/minus in 60 games played.

Thompson (illness) will be out on Monday vs. Minnesota.

The Golden Knights have recalled Jiri Patera as Thompson is not able to play on Monday due to an illness. With Adin Hill back from injury, Thompson has been limited to only one game for the Golden Knights in their last five (4-1-0), a 5-2 loss to the Detroit Red Wings when he allowed four goals on 28 shots (.857 SV%).

Bear will draw back into Washington's lineup Thursday in Florida.

Trevor van Riemsdyk will be a healthy scratch on Thursday, allowing Bear to re-enter the lineup after a two-game absence. In his last contest, Bear recorded an assist and a +1 plus/minus despite losing 6-2 to the Colorado Avalance.

Sgarbossa is expected to make his season debut Tuesday vs. Montreal.

Sgarbossa has been amongst the AHL's top point producers over the last several seasons but has been limited in his NHL exposure and will play his first game since the 2021-22 campaign. In 44 games with the Hershey Bears (AHL), Sgarbossa has 43 points (7G / 36A) this season.
