Status report
Kampf returned to the Capitals following the birth of his child and skated Thursday, but is questionable; the forward has not played since being acquired in a trade with the Vancouver Canucks becuause of visa issues. … Frank skated in a noncontact jersey; the forward will miss his second straight game. … Hayton is week to week after the forward left during the first period of a 5-2 loss to the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday. … But was recalled from Tucson of the American Hockey League on Wednesday and will play on the second line. … Tanev will return to the lineup after being a healthy scratch the past four games.
