Trevor van Riemsdyk - On IRVan Riemsdyk (lower body) was placed on the injured reserve list Thursday.

ImpactThe move might be retroactive to when van Riemsdyk last played Saturday. If that's the case, then he'd be eligible to return in time for Tuesday's contest versus Vegas. The 32-year-old has an assist and 19 blocks in 10 outings this year.

Michael Sgarbossa - Returns to minorsSgarbossa was reassigned to AHL Hershey on Thursday.

ImpactSgarbossa was called up Wednesday but was a healthy scratch for that evening's game versus Florida. The 31-year-old has three goals and 12 points in 11 contests with Hershey this season.

The penalty kill, once a problem for the Capitals, is thrivingThe Capitals have managed their recent improvement despite center Nic Dowd’s absence with an upper body injury.

Nic Dowd - Might travel with teamDowd (upper body) may join the Capitals for their upcoming two-game road trip, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports Thursday.

ImpactDowd's presence on the trip doesn't guarantee that he will be ready to play against the Devils or Islanders on Friday or Saturday, respectively, but it certainly is a step in the right direction. If the 33-year-old center does suit up, it will end an eight-game stint on the sidelines due to his lingering upper-body issue. In order to return, Dowd will need to be activated off injured reserve, which could see Michael Sgarbossa sent back down to the minors.

Trevor van Riemsdyk - Won't travel with teamVan Riemsdyk (lower body) won't make the trip for the Capitals' upcoming two-game road trip, which begins Friday in New Jersey, Tarik El-Bashir of Monumental Sports Network reports...

ImpactVan Riemsdyk will also miss Saturday's game against the Islanders. The 32-year-old blueliner has collected just one assist through 10 contests this season, so there's no reason for fantasy managers to track his status. With van Riemsdyk on the shelf, Hardy Haman-Aktell may draw into the lineup against the Devils on Friday.

Anthony Mantha - Will miss next two contestsMantha (upper body) is considered day-to-day and won't be available for Frida'ys game versus New Jersey or Saturday's game against the Islanders, Tarik El-Bashir of Monumental Spor...

ImpactWith Mantha, who has struggled to the tune of just two points through nine games this season, unavailable, look for Michael Sgarbossa to draw into the lineup against the Devils. Another update on Mantha's status should surface prior to Tuesday's matchup with the Golden Knights.
