Status Update

Matthew Tkachuk participated in morning skate, although he has not yet played this season. The Panthers opted not to hold a full skate after their recent heavy loss to the Carolina Hurricanes.

Additionally, Ivan Miroshnichenko was recalled from the AHL’s Hershey Bears on Friday. Coach Spencer Carbery of the Capitals indicated that Tom Wilson might return, but the forward remained among the scratches after morning skate. Justin Sourdif will miss his third consecutive game due to an injury sustained in a recent match against the Nashville Predators, and he has been placed on injured reserve.
