Strome missed Sunday's game vs. the Predators due to the birth of his child but is set to play on Tuesday. It's unclear who he'll line up with, but he skated with Kirby Dach and Mattias Janmark in his most recent game. Strome has one goal on six shots in five games since returning to the Blackhawks lineup on March 18th.

Eller has missed the last seven games with a lower-body injury but is expected to return to the lineup on Tuesday. While he's officially listed as a game-time decision, look for Eller to centre the third line between Richard Panik and Jakub Vrana/Conor Sheary.




Eller continues to battle through a lower-body injury and will miss his fifth consecutive game on Thursday. The Capitals have not provided many updates on Eller, so he remains day-to-day and questionable to play in the second half of their back-to-back tomorrow.

Ovechkin missed Tuesday's practice but was on the ice for Thursday's morning skate and is expected to play vs. the Devils. Ovechkin has been heating up as of late, scoring seven goals with one assist in his last eight games.

The Capitals went 7-0-0 while Wilson was serving his seven-game suspension for boarding Brandon Carlo on March 5th. Wilson will likely step right into the top-6 vs. the Rangers and re-enters the lineup with 17 points (10G / 7A) in 21 games.

Eller will miss his third straight game on Friday, which makes him questionable to play Saturday as well. With Eller out, the Capitals are expected to stick with 11 forwards and seven defensemen.


Lars Eller is day-to-day with a lower-body injury, so the capitals will go with 11 forwards and seven defensemen in Buffalo. van Riemsdyk has one goal in seven games this season.

Eller returned from a personal matter on Saturday but was hurt early in the first period and did not return. The Capitals have listed him as day-to-day and unavailable for Monday's game, so look for Washington to dress 11 forwards and seven defensemen.



Ovechkin was originally listed as a game-time decision after missing Friday's practice but will play this afternoon vs. the Devils. Ovechkin has had a bit of a disappointing season to-date, scoring just six goals in 15 games, but New Jersey is a team that he's dominated in his career.

Ovechkin was missing from Friday’s practice session and the Capitals have listed him as a game-time decision for Saturday’s game in New Jersey. With a 1 PM ET start, monitor his status when they hit the ice for warmups at 12:30 PM ET.



Dubois will appear in his third game with the Jets after missing the last four games with a lower-body injury. Dubois will move to the wing in his return to the lineup, skating on a line with Mark Scheifele and Blake Wheeler.
