"Although Logan Thompson skated for a second straight day, Caps head coach Spencer Carbery ruled him out of Monday night's game against the New York Islanders. "Logan will not play tonight," Carbery said. "Will not back up. He's real close. We're going to still call him day-to-day, and just for the purposes of clarity, for his situation, the target is for him to come back before the break. The target is for him to play against Nashville.""
"With the Capitals playing on back-to-back days, it's possible that Stevenson could also start against the Philadelphia Flyers on Tuesday, but Carbery left open the possibility for Bjorklund to "potentially" make his NHL debut at Philadelphia's Xfinity Mobile Arena. Bjorklund has played in the preseason with the Capitals before, but the 2020 sixth-round pick has just 13 games of AHL experience under his belt."
Logan Thompson skated for a second straight day but is ruled out for Monday's game and remains day-to-day with a target to return before the Olympic break, likely in Nashville. Clay Stevenson will start again and secured his first NHL win with a 19-save effort in a 4-3 overtime comeback. Garin Bjorklund will back up and could potentially make his NHL debut in Philadelphia; he has 13 AHL games and preseason experience. Charlie Lindgren is on injured reserve through the Olympic break with no expectation of a longer absence. Martin Fehervary returns; Matt Roy is questionable.
