Multiple Capitals players including Tom Wilson, Ryan Leonard will be game-time decisions against Rangers

"The Washington Capitals will host their last game before the holiday break on Tuesday night, but they aren't yet certain who will take the ice. Head coach Spencer Carbery told reporters after morning skate that multiple players would be game-time decisions against the New York Rangers as the team battles both injury and illness. Everything lineup-wise, I can confirm Logan Thompson will start, Carbery said. Everything else, a ton of question marks"

"Ryan Leonard's status remains up in the air as of Tuesday morning, per Carbery. Leonard has missed the last seven games since sustaining a shoulder and face injury on December 5: the Capitals initially estimated he would be out three to four weeks but labeled him out day-to-day on Saturday. He returned to practice last week and was a full participant in Tuesday's morning skate. Carbery said he would know more about whether Leonard could play after conferring with Capitals head athletic trainer Jason Serbus."

"Also among those game-time decisions is Tom Wilson, who did not take part in the Capitals' optional morning skate. Wilson currently leads the team both goals and total scoring, with 34 points (17g, 17a) in 36 games. After Tuesday's game, the Capitals will have a three-day break for the holidays before returning to action against the New Jersey Devils on Saturday."

The Washington Capitals will host their final game before the holiday break with several lineup uncertainties caused by injuries and illness. Head coach Spencer Carbery confirmed Logan Thompson will start while labeling most other players game-time decisions. Ryan Leonard has missed seven games after sustaining shoulder and face injuries on December 5, returned to practice, and remained unapproved pending clearance from head athletic trainer Jason Serbus. Tom Wilson did not participate in the optional morning skate and leads the team with 34 points (17 goals, 17 assists) in 36 games. The team will enter a three-day holiday break after Tuesday's game.
