Status Report

The Canadiens opted not to conduct a morning skate on Tuesday after a convincing 6-3 victory over the Vancouver Canucks. There is a possibility that Josh Anderson could return after being sidelined for six games due to an upper-body injury. Coach Martin St. Louis noted that Anderson will participate in warmups before a final decision is made regarding his participation in the game.

For the Capitals, Tom Wilson remains a day-to-day situation as he skated in a non-contact jersey. He will miss his fifth consecutive game. Meanwhile, Justin Sourdif is also day-to-day after suffering a mouth injury in a recent match against the Nashville Predators. Additionally, Jakob Chychrun is a game-time decision after missing the last game due to illness.
