"Chychrun has been out of action for the team's last two games due to illness, last playing against the Chicago Blackhawks six days ago. 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. He ranks second on the team in scoring from the backend, three points behind John Carlson."
"Wilson will miss his sixth straight game due to the lower-body injury he suffered against the Blackhawks on January 3. The 31-year-old winger was first cleared for contact at Wednesday's practice, and Carbery confirmed he has not suffered a setback of any sort. Without Wilson in their lineup, the Capitals have won three of their last five games. Wilson is still the team's leading scorer with 42 points (22g, 20a) in 41 games this season, two more than captain Alex Ovechkin, who sits second."

The 27-year-old defenseman has 32 points (15g, 17a) in 45 games and leads the team with 23:15 average ice time, ranking second among defensemen in scoring behind John Carlson. Dylan McIlrath is expected to remain in the lineup while Declan Chisholm and Trevor van Riemsdyk were scratched. Tom Wilson will miss his sixth straight game with a lower-body injury despite being cleared for contact, and Justin Sourdif remains out after an upper-body injury from a puck to the face.
