Status report
The Capitals will use the same 18 skaters from their 4-3 win at Buffalo on Friday. … Washington traded defenseman Jonas Siegenthaler to the New Jersey Devils for a conditional third-round pick in the 2021 NHL Draft on Sunday. ... The Bruins did not hold a morning skate. … Grzelcyk misses his first game since he was injured Saturday and Miller rests on the second half of a back to back. They're replaced on defense by Tinordi and Ahcan.
