Player Notes

  • Called up again
    Phillips was called up from AHL Hershey on Wednesday.

    Advice: Phillips has five points over 31 contests between the Capitals and the Penguins at the NHL level this season. His recall suggests Sonny Milano (upper body) is questionable for Thursday's game versus the Maple Leafs. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:21 pm
  • Enters Player Assistance Program
    Bear entered the NHL/NHLPA Player Assistance Program on Wednesday, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports.

    Advice: Bear will be away from the Capitals indefinitely while receiving care in the program. He has four points over 24 contests with the Capitals this season. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:05 pm
  • Slated starter for Thursday
    Reimer is expected to start on the road against Carolina on Thursday, according to Max Bultman of The Athletic.

    Advice: Reimer has won his last three starts while saving 90 of 97 shots (.928 save percentage). He's 9-7-2 with a 2.98 GAA and a .907 save percentage in 22 outings this campaign. The Hurricanes, who rank ninth offensively with 3.37 goals per game, figure to be a challenging adversary for Reimer. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:00 pm
  • Sent to minors
    Balinskis was reassigned to AHL Charlotte on Wednesday.

    Advice: Balinskis has a goal and three points in 22 games with Florida in 2023-24. He also has contributed three goals and 21 points in 35 outings with Charlotte. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:03 pm
  • Might be ready Thursday
    Joshua (upper body) could be an option versus Dallas on Thursday, telling reporters, "Yeah, possibly. I'm not sure yet. We'll talk about it and see how the morning goes," per Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650.

    Advice: At this point, Joshua should probably be considered a game-time decision heading into Thursday's tilt, though the fact that he skated in a second-line role Wednesday serves as a strong indication he's nearing a return. If he does suit up against the Stars, it would be the 27-year-old winger's first appearance since Feb. 13 versus Chicago, a game in which he racked up three points. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:01 pm
