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.
Fehervary missed the last three games while in COVID-19 protocol but was on the ice for Tuesday's practice and should play Friday in St. Louis.
Raddysh missed the last three games while in COVID-19 protocol but is expected to play Tuesday in Columbus. It's unclear where Raddysh will slot into the lineup but he has eight points (4G / 4A) in his last 11 games.
Sandin has not played since December 5th due to a knee injury but was also placed on the COVID-19 protocol list during that time. Sandin will be back on the Maple Leafs blueline and second power-play unit vs. the Senators and has eight assists and a plus-5 rating in 25 games this season.
Both Beauvillier and Oliver Wahlstrom were activated and head coach Barry Trotz said it's possible that both will play on Saturday but "one more likely that the other." Monitor Beauvillier's status as the Islanders hit the ice for warmups at 1:30 PM ET.
Raddysh will be replaced by Pierre-Edouard Bellemare, who was activated from the protocol list this morning. Ross Colton should move up to replace him on the line with Steven Stamkos.
Wilson has missed the last four games with an upper-body injury but is expected to play Wednesday vs. the Predators. Wilson, who has nine goals and 15 assists (24 points) in 27 games, will skate with Evgeny Kuznetsov and Alex Ovechkin.
Oshie missed the Capitals' last game while in COVID-19 protocol but is expected to play tonight vs. the Predators. Oshie, who has 11 points (4G / 7A) in 14 games this season, is expected to skate with Nicklas Backstrom and Conor Sheary.
Backstrom missed the last two games while in COVID-19 protocol but is expected to play tonight vs. the Predators. Backstrom, who had one assist and five shots on goal in his season debut is expected to skate on the second line with T.J. Oshie and Conor Sheary.
On the day that the Islanders activated players like Mathew Barzal, they also added four forwards to the protocol list, including Beauvillier. This group is expected to be out until next Wednesday.
The Blue Jackets are in Buffalo on Monday and they'll be without Carlsson, Jack Roslovic and Boone Jenner, who entered protocol on Sunday.
