Not much to go on at this point...but my team is dropping like flies.

Nylander Out vs. Devils
Looks like the Caps are going to be short-handed tomorrow against the Devils.
In addition to being without Chris Clark (strained groin muscle) and Boyd Gordon (broken right hand), I\'ve just been told that Michael Nylander will be sidelined in New Jersey with the dreaded \"undisclosed\" injury. The weird thing about this is that Nylander practiced yesterday.
Alex Ovechkin also isn\'t skating. Is he nursing an injury? I\'m starting wonder. He didn\'t practice Tuesday night (the second practice of the day) and left yesterday\'s practice about 30 minutes early.
Update:I\'m now told that Ovechkin is going to play tomorrow. I hear from a source that he\'s fine.
Update:Looks like there will be a call up. Not sure who yet. But that would mean someone would have to join Gordon on IR to make room.
Update:As far as possible line combos tomorrow, your guess is a good as mine. The lines were all jumbled today at practice and one player told me he didn\'t know for sure who he would skating with.
Update:Owner Ted Leonsis addressed the bad ice at Verizon Center on his blog today. Check out what he had to say.
