N. Bjugstad - F

MIN

Nick Bjugstad underwent surgery Tuesday to repair a lower-body injury.

Bjugstad was labeled as week-to-week back in early March, just before the NHL season got put on pause amid the coronavirus pandemic, and he apparently suffered a setback during the shutdown. The 27-year-old forward will not be able to participate in the league's planned 24-team return-to-play tournament. It's unclear at this point whether his rehab will stretch into the 2020-2021 campaign.

D. Orlov - D

WSH

The NHL announced that Dmitry Orlov has been placed in their COVID-19 protocol.

On top of handing the Washington Capitals a $100,000 fine, Orlov is being joined in the protocol by none other than Alexander Ovechkin, Evgeny Kuznetsov and Ilya Samsonov. That is a big chunk of Washington's lineup and it will be interesting to watch how things unravel over the next few games for them. Orlov was averaging just under 21:00 a night and the Caps will need to find a way to replace those minutes. Jonas Siegenthaler is expected to come into the lineup in his place but he does not have any fantasy upside.

I. Samsonov - G

WSH

The NHL announced that Ilya Samsonov has been placed in their COVID-19 protocol.

Samsonov is one of four Capitals now in the protocol, being joined by fellow Russians Alexander Ovechkin, Dmitry Orlov and Evgeny Kuznetsov. Samsonov was a popular draft choice this season, with many expecting him to take over the bulk of the starts with Braden Holtby now out of town. Expect Vitek Vanecek to get the bulk of the starts moving forward, with Craig Anderson mixing in. There's an opening here for Samsonov to lose the starting job to Vanecek.

E. Kuznetsov - F

WSH

The NHL has announced that forward Evgeny Kuznetsov has entered the league's COVID-19 protocol.

It appears all the Russian's on the team got together and broke league rules, as Alex Ovechkin, Dmitry Orlov and Ilya Samsonov are joining Kuznetsov in the protocol. Kuznetsov started the year with a goal and three points in four games and the Capitals will have the tough time figuring out life without such a core group of players. The NHL also announced that they have fined the Washington organization $100,000 for COVID-19 violations.

B. Coleman - F

Blake Coleman has been removed from the COVID Protocol Related Absence list.

Coleman didn't take part in Monday's practice and then he was listed as being absent due to COVID protocol. His removal is a good sign that he could be available to play during Tampa Bay's upcoming road trip.

A. Ovechkin - F

WSH

Alexander Ovechkin is in the NHL's COVID-19 protocol.

Ovechkin is one of four Capitals in the NHL's COVID protocol, being joined by fellow Russians Evgeny Kuznetov, Dmitry Orlov and Ilya Samsonov. This likely indicates that the four were all simultaneously involved in violating one of the NHL's rules, and now the Capitals will be without a core part of their roster until further notice. The NHL fined the Capitals $100,000 for violating rules and it is fair to wonder if the organization will add further punishment to their star players.

J. Bailey - F

NYI

The NHL has announced that Josh Bailey has been placed on their COVID-19 protocol list.

Bailey wasn't available at practice Wednesday morning and we now know why. The 31-year-old forward has opened the season pointless in three games and will now sit out until his time in the protocol is finished. It's a tough blow for the Islanders who are already starving for offense early in the season.

The Edmonton Oilers have decided to scratch William Lagesson on Wednesday night against the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Lagesson came in for Monday's game against the Canadiens in place of Ethan Bear, but the Oilers decide it was best to bring Bear back in tonight. Tyler Ennis and Caleb Jones will also be scratched.
