Fehervary did not play on Saturday due to personal reasons, but he returned to practice on Monday and should be in the lineup against the New York Islanders. The 26-year-old Slovak defenseman is quietly having an impressive season, pacing for career-high production with 19 points (3G / 16A) through 55 games.
Lindgren seemingly suffered an injury toward the end of overtime, but stayed in the crease for the shootout, ultimately needing assistance leaving the ice after recording the victory. Already without Logan Thompson (upper body), who is day-to-day, it is unclear who will be tending the twine for the Capitals on Saturday against the Carolina Hurricanes.
McIlrath will immediately fall back out of the Capitals lineup after drawing in on Tuesday. Rasmus Sandin is returning from a lower-body injury and will take McIlrath's spot in the lineup.
Sandin did not play on Tuesday because of a lower-body injury but appears to be good to go for Thursday's game against the Detroit Red Wings. The 25-year-old Swedish defenseman is averaging 18:48 time-on-ice and has 17 points (2G / 15A) in 47 games this season.
Roy did not play on Tuesday and will remain sidelined for Thursday's game against the Detroit Red Wings. The 30-year-old defenseman is averaging 20:46 time-on-ice and has 14 points (1G / 13A) in 53 games this season.
With Logan Thompson (upper body) out of the lineup, Lindgren will tend the twine for the Capitals on Thursday against the Detroit Red Wings. The 32-year-old Lindgren had a poor showing in his previous outing, allowing six goals on 40 shots (.850 SV%) in a 6-5 loss to the Edmonton Oilers. The loss was the most recent in a string of unreliable performances for Lindgren, who has allowed three or more goals in seven consecutive games (2-3-2), posting an ugly 4.08 GAA and .876 SV%. The Capitals enter the action on Thursday as +115 road underdogs against a Detroit Red Wings team coming off a 3-1 loss to the Los Angeles Kings, snapping a five-game point streak (4-0-1).

Thompson was hit in the mask with a puck in Tuesday's game against the Seattle Kraken, and he will be out of the lineup on Thursday against the Detroit Red Wings. It's unclear if the injury will impact Thompson's availability for Saturday's game against the Carolina Hurricanes. Washington recalled Clay Stevenson from Hershey (AHL) to likely serve as Charlie Lindgren's backup on Thursday.
