"I would like to [play]," Fehervary said. "We'll see. I'm still a little bit dealing with some health issues, but we'll see how the thing's going. So far it looks good. [It's] nothing major. I'm practicing, but it's before the season and we talked with the Caps and if I'm not going to be 100 percent, I shouldn't go. So, we'll see."
Slovakia is set to play in a round-robin tournament to qualify for one of the 12 spots at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan, Italy. Fehervary's hometown of Bratislava will host the set of qualifying games from August 29 through September 1.
Fehervary missed a swath of games for the Washington Capitals last season with three different injuries, playing just 66 games over the whole campaign. The most serious of the three, a lower-body injury suffered in mid-February, kept him out of action for 10 games.
Slovakia will already be without Juraj Slafkovsky and Erik Cernak due to their NHL teams not releasing them and top player David Pastrnak due to injury.
