Status report
The Capitals are not expected to make any lineup changes following a 6-4 win against the Philadelphia Flyers on Tuesday. … Gritsyuk has elected to have surgery and the forward will be out the remainder of the season. “He was on his way to returning to play, but it is something that is likely to be re-injured if not addressed,” Devils coach Sheldon Keefe said.
