Status report
Oshie, a forward, will be shut down for the rest of the regular season, Capitals coach Peter Laviolette said Monday. … Washington has only 17 active skaters, and cannot make a call-up due to salary cap constraints. … Bergeron, Ullmark, McAvoy, Hall and Orlov each will return after being scratched for rest in a 5-3 win at the Philadelphia Flyers on Sunday. … Bruins coach Jim Montgomery said Krejci will sit out until the playoffs, but is optimistic the center will be healthy for the postseason opener. ... Foligno, a forward, skated Tuesday in a non-contact jersey. ... Forbort, a defenseman, also participated in Boston's morning skate but will not play. ... Ullmark will start after Swayman made 34 saves Sunday.
