Marcus Johansson, who missed yesterday's game with an illness, is on the ice for #Caps practice.
Sounds like Johansson is healthy enough to play tomorrow. The sophomore has already matched his point totals of his rookie season as he establishes himself as a solid secondary offensive weapon.

Looks like Marcus Johansson is out tonight
Johansson will not play today, replaced by Mathieu Perreault. Not sure if this scratch is injury related as he did take a maintenance day earlier in the year. The sophomore has 10 goals and 27 points through 45 games.

Zach Bogosian is out there
Expect Bogosian to play tonight. Before getting hurt, the former 3rd overall pick was on his way to a bounce-back season, scoring three goals and 19 points through 42 games. By comparison, he registered only 17 points last year.

Good news to hear that Spurgeon is close to returning. The offensive defender scored two goals and 15 points over 36 games.
Wild defenseman Jared Spurgeon has a "lower-body" injury, according to coach Mike Yeo, and won't make the trip to Nashville for Wednesday night's game.
Yet another injury to the already banged up Wild blue line. The offensive defender scored two goals and 15 points over 36 games.
Spurgeon helped off the ice by trainer/teammate, straight to the locker room #mnwild. 5-minute PP upcoming
Spurgeon adds to a growing list of injured forwards. The offensive defender scored two goals and 15 points over 36 games. Look for Greg Zanon to draw back in should Spurgeon miss any playing time.
