Status report
Each team held an optional morning skate. … Orlov is a game-time decision after the defenseman left in the first period of a loss to the Arizona Coyotes on Saturday. He did not take part in the morning skate, did not practice Sunday and is day to day. … Carlson, a defenseman, will miss his fifth straight game. … Aube-Kubel, claimed off waivers from the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday, will make his Capitals debut.
