Status report

After the departures of forward Nic Dowd in a trade to the Vegas Golden Knights on and defenseman John Carlson in a trade to the Anaheim Ducks, each on Friday, Capitals coach Spencer Carbery said lineup decisions still need to be made. ... The Bruins did not practice Friday, but Aspirot, a defenseman who missed a 6-3 loss at the Nashville Predators on Thursday, skated on his own. ... All three players Boston acquired prior to the NHL Trade Deadline on Friday -- forwards Lukas Reichel, Alexis Gendron and Massimo Rizzo -- will join Providence of the American Hockey League.
