Hunter Shepard - Returned to AHL Shepard was reassigned to AHL Hershey on Tuesday, according to Tarik El-Bashir of Monumental Sports Network.

Impact Darcy Kuemper (undisclosed) will be Charlie Lindgren's backup in Tuesday's contest versus Vegas, so Shepard will return to the minors. The 28-year-old Shepard has won both of his NHL starts this season, stopping 54 of 59 shots.

Darcy Kuemper - Suiting up Tuesday Kuemper (undisclosed) will be Charlie Lindgren's backup in Tuesday's home contest against Vegas, according to Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post.

Impact Kuemper sat out the past two games after getting banged up in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime loss to Florida. He has a 3-3-2 record this season with a 3.07 GAA and an .892 save percentage in eight appearances.

Charlie Lindgren - Tending twine Tuesday Lindgren will patrol the home crease Tuesday against Vegas, per Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post.

Impact Lindgren has stopped 58 of 61 shots en route to two wins in his past two outings. Darcy Kuemper (undisclosed) will serve as the backup goalie in his return to the lineup. Vegas is tied for fifth in the league this season with 3.67 goals per game.

Hunter Shepard - Back with big club Shepard was summoned from AHL Hershey on Monday.

Impact According to Tarik El-Bashir of Monumental Sports Network, Shepard participated in Monday's practice along with fellow netminders Darcy Kuemper (undisclosed) and Charlie Lindgren. If Kuemper isn't ready to return Tuesday versus Vegas, Shepard could be in the lineup again.

Martin Fehervary - Could return Saturday Fehervary (lower body) hasn't been ruled out for Saturday's matchup with Columbus, Tarik El-Bashir of Monumental Sports Network reports.

Impact Fehervary is currently on injured reserve, so he wasn't eligible to play against Vegas on Tuesday but could return in the next contest. Prior to getting hurt, the 24-year-old defenseman had recorded assists in back-to-back games, though those are his only points this season. In order to play Saturday, Fehervary will need to be activated off injured reserve, a move that would likely see Dylan McIlrath sent back to the minors.

T.J. Oshie - Taking maintenance day Oshie was held out of Monday's practice for maintenance reasons, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports.

Impact The Capitals can only hope some added rest will jumpstart Oshie's offensive game that has only mustered a single assist in 13 games. Once a reliable contributor at both ends of the ice, it's possible age and a lengthy injury history has caught up with the 36-year-old winger. Only a meaningful presence on the top power-play unit stands between Oshie and becoming a non-factor in most fantasy leagues.

Anthony Mantha - Resumes skating Monday Mantha (upper body) skated in a non-contact jersey prior to Monday's practice, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports.

Impact Mantha took a puck to the side of the head in the third period of a 4-3 overtime loss to the Panthers on Nov. 8 and did not return. The 29-year-old does not have a firm timeline for his return, but the Capitals' light schedule in the next two weeks affords him some extra time to heal.

Joel Edmundson - Takes practice Monday Edmundson (hand) was on the ice in a non-contact jersey during Monday's practice, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports.

Impact Edmundson is inching closer to making his Capitals debut following a hand injury during preseason that required surgery. The rugged blueliner's debut would be a welcome sight for a Capitals team without the services of Trevor Van Riemsdyk (lower body) and Martin Fehervary (lower body).

NOVEMBER 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Trevor van Riemsdyk - Practices Monday Van Riemsdyk (lower body) was wearing a non-contact jersey during Monday's practice, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports.

Impact Van Riemsdyk has missed the last three games with the injury, but he appears to be making solid progress by taking part in Monday's session. The 32-year-old seems unlikely to play Tuesday against the Golden Knights, but the Capitals have a light schedule this week so it's possible he returns for a weekend tilt against the Blue Jackets.

Hunter Shepard - Sent back to AHL Shepard was sent down to AHL Hershey on Sunday.

Impact Shepard was excellent Sunday against the Islanders, stopping 36 of 37 shots in a win. However, the 28-year-old netminder will return to the AHL, indicating Darcy Kuemper (undisclosed) should be ready to go before Washington's next game vs. Vegas. Shepard won both of his two starts with the Capitals this season, allowing five goals on 59 shots.

Hunter Shepard - Huge saves in win Shepard made 36 saves in a 4-1 win over the Islanders on Saturday.

Impact It was his first start of the season since Oct. 25, and he played lights-out hockey. Shepard made some incredible saves, and his mates laid it on the line for him, too -- they blocked 32 shots compared to just 11 for the Isles. The goal that got past him came in the last minute of the first frame when Shepard got out of position and Alexander Romanov buried the puck into an empty net. Shepard remains third on the Caps' depth chart and will stay with the club until Darcy Kuemper (undisclosed) returns.

NOVEMBER 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Alex Ovechkin - First even-strength goal this year Ovechkin scored two goals in a 4-1 win over the Islanders on Saturday.

Impact He opened the scoring at the mid-point of the first. Evgeny Kuznetsov won a draw back to Ovie, who wired it just inside the post under the glove of Semyon Varlamov from the left circle. It was Ovechkin's first even-strength goal this season. He also scored into an empty net. Ovie is the fourth player in Caps' history to have a multigoal game at age 38 years or older. Ovechkin has struggled to score this season -- he has four goals, two of which have gone into the empty net. Still, he has 11 points in 13 games, which leads the Caps.
