Overview
- Dylan Strome took full part in the Capitals’ morning skate after a week listed as day-to-day with a lower-body injury.
- On Thursday he progressed from a no-contact jersey to a regular sweater for power-play drills, signaling improvement without a formal clearance.
- Carbery declined to rule on Strome’s availability for tonight, noting the call will depend on feedback from trainers.
- Rasmus Sandin remained in a no-contact jersey and is highly likely to miss the weekend after being placed on injured reserve.
- Logan Thompson was the first goalie off the ice and is set to start against the Islanders, who are on a back-to-back and sit 4-5-1.
