Overview
- Head coach Spencer Carbery said “we’ll see” after Strome fully participated in the morning skate, keeping his status for Friday night as a game-time decision.
- Strome missed the loss in Dallas with a lower-body injury sustained against Ottawa and had 10 points in nine games before getting hurt.
- Rasmus Sandin remained in a no-contact jersey, and Carbery said it is highly likely he will be out through the weekend.
- Ethen Frank was placed on injured reserve with an upper-body injury, leaving the Capitals with 22 active players and the possibility of another recall before the trip to Buffalo.
- Logan Thompson was first off the ice at morning skate and is set to start against New York to open Washington’s Friday-Saturday back-to-back.
