Borgström was a first-round pick (No.23 overall) in 2016 and was traded to Chicago in the deal that sent Lucas Wallmark and Lucas Carlsson to the Panthers. Borgström spent the 2021 season in Finland, where he had 11 goals and 10 assists (21 points) in 30 games. In 58 career NHL games with Florida, the 23-year-old has tallied nine goals and 10 assists (19 points).

Carlson will miss his second straight game on Tuesday. Carlson was on the ice for Monday's practice but will be held out most likely as more of a precaution with nothing to be gained from Tuesday's game.

Ovechkin has missed the last three games but was on the ice for Monday's practice and will be a game-time decision on Tuesday. The Capitals' are locked into second place in the East, so Tuesday's game does not matter. It will be interesting to see if Ovechkin draws in to get back up to speed or not.

Strome has been a healthy scratch for the last two games but will replace Adam Gaudette in the lineup on Monday. Strome has had some injury issues this season but comes into Monday with 15 points (8G / 7A) in 39 games.

Wilson suffered an upper-body injury in Wednesday's game in New York and did not return. He was on the ice for Friday's morning skate and will play tonight vs. Philadelphia. Wilson, who has two goals and three assists in his last six games, will skate on the third line with Michael Raffl and Daniel Carr.

Ovechkin tried to return to the lineup on Monday but only lasted one shift. He'll continue to sit out on Wednesday, potentially leaving the Capitals shorthanded upfront.

Ovechkin has missed the last four games with a lower-body injury but will be a game-time decision on Monday, so monitor his status as the Capitals hit the ice for warmups at 6:30 PM ET.

Carlson has missed the last two games with a lower-body injury but seems on track to return to the lineup on Monday. Carlson is officially listed as a game-time decision, so monitor his status as the Capitals hit the ice for warmups at 6:30 PM ET.

Carlson was not on the ice for the morning skate and is officially listed as a game-time decision for Wednesday's game vs. the Penguins. Carlson has been held without a point in four straight games but is third among defensemen with 42 points (10G / 32A) in 49 games.

Strome was a healthy scratch in the last two games but will draw back into the lineup on Tuesday. Strome will play centre, so look for him to be on the third line with Dominik Kubalik as the Blackhawks go back to 12 forwards and six defensemen.

Ovechkin was not on the ice for Monday's practice or Tuesday's morning skate and will miss his second consecutive game tonight vs. the Islanders. With Ovechkin sidelined, Daniel Sprong will remain on the top line and Tom Wilson will be on PP1.
