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.
