WASHINGTON CAPITALS
Norris Trophy finalist John Carlson will be a game-time decision. He suffered an injury against the Carolina Hurricanes during an exhibition game and did not play against the Tampa Bay Lightning in the Capitals’ first round-robin game. Also, center Lars Eller will not be playing, as he has left the bubble to be with his wife for the birth of their child. Travis Boyd will replace him in the lineup.
PHILADELPHIA FLYERS
Nolan Patrick is out and will not be playing. Nor will Oscar Lindblom, though the latter could return if the Flyers are still playing in September.
