Oshie (lower-body) will be a game-time decision on Tuesday.

Oshie has missed the last two games with a lower-body injury but was on the ice for Tuesday's morning skate. Oshie skated on the third line and did not take part in power-play drills, suggesting that he may sit out vs. the Blues. Head coach Peter Laviolette said he was unsure of his status, so consider him a game-time decision.

Oshie left Thursday's game with a lower-body injury and did not return.

Oshie played just three shifts before leaving with a lower-body injury and did not return. The Capitals had the game well in hand, so keeping him out could have been precautionary. Consider him questionable to play Friday in Carolina.

The Capitals have placed TJ Oshie (illness) on IR.

Both Oshie and Nicklas Backstrom have been sidelined by a non-COVID illness and did not accompany the team on their two-game road trip. Moving them to IR simply creates roster spots to bring up reinforcements--they'll be eligible to be activated and play when the Capitals return home to face the Bruins on Monday.
