Status report
Washington coach Spencer Carbery said they are "working through some things" with the lineup. … Wilson and Lindgren each took maintenance days Monday and their status for the game is unknown. … Fehervary, who has missed the past nine games, is expected to return to the lineup at some point during a five-game road trip that begins Monday. The defenseman last played Feb. 17. … The Capitals loaned goaltender Hunter Shepard to Hershey of the American Hockey League on Saturday. … Vilardi did not skate Monday and the forward will miss a sixth straight game. Winnipeg coach Rick Bowness said he is hopeful Vilardi will skate later this week. … Toffoli and Miller will make their Jets debuts. They were acquired in separate trades with the New Jersey Devils on Friday. Toffoli will replace Gustafsson, a forward, and Miller will replace Schmidt, a defenseman.
