Orpik (lower body) won't play Friday against the Flames, Isabelle Khurshudyan of the Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

The lower-body injury Orpik sustained in Tuesday's game against the Red Wings will keep him sidelined for a second straight contest Friday against the Flames. The Capitals next tilt isn't until Wednesday against Detroit, so the 35-year-old blueliner will have plenty of time to recover ahead of that matchup.
