"While attendance was light, primarily for maintenance-related reasons, the Caps did see top defenseman Jakob Chychrun skate for a second straight day. Chychrun has been out of action for the team's last two games due to illness. He last played against the Chicago Blackhawks on Friday night. The 27-year-old rearguard has 32 points (15g, 17a) in 45 games this season, skating a team high 23:15 of ice time per game."
"While Chychrun did skate, the Capitals were once again without rookie forward Justin Sourdif. The 23-year-old center missed the win against Montreal after suffering an upper-body injury against the Predators in Nashville. Sourdif took a puck to the face in the 3-2 loss. Connor McMichael dressed as the team's second-line center against the Canadiens and ended up scoring the game-winning goal in overtime."
Washington Capitals held a light practice at MedStar Capitals Iceplex. Jakob Chychrun skated for a second straight day after missing two games due to illness; he has 32 points (15g, 17a) in 45 games. With Chychrun unavailable for two games, Declan Chisholm and Dylan McIlrath drew into the lineup; McIlrath delivered a big hit on Jayden Struble and fought Arber Xhekaj during Tuesday's comeback win over Montreal. Rookie Justin Sourdif remained out with an upper-body facial injury. Connor McMichael scored the overtime winner and logged a career-high 22:30. Chychrun and Tom Wilson are possibilities for the game versus San Jose.
