Orlov (undisclosed) is considered questionable for Tuesday's game versus Philadelphia, Tarik El-Bashir of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Orlov's status against the Flyers may boil down to a game-time decision. If Orlov's unable to go, look for Michal Kempny to draw into the lineup against Philadelphia.

Orlov registered an assist in Friday's 4-3 shootout win over the Sabres.
EDGE Analysis
Orlov was the primary distributor on a second-period goal that went to fellow defenseman Nick Jensen. Orlov's game is well balanced as he has 10 goals, 19 assists, 78 blocked shots and 108 hits through 29 games; he's your guy if you need someone who does a little bit of everything.

Orlov scored a goal on three shots, added three hits and went plus-2 in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Kraken.
EDGE Analysis
Orlov gave the Capitals a short-lived 2-0 lead in the first period, but they were able to bounce back later. The 30-year-old defenseman has scored in consecutive games for the first time this season, and he's at nine goals -- just one shy of his career high from 2017-18. Orlov has 26 points, 88 shots, 95 hits, 65 blocked shots and a plus-18 rating in 53 outings overall.

Orlov scored two goals, one on the power play and the other the overtime winner, in Tuesday's 4-3 victory over the Penguins.
EDGE Analysis
His first tally tied the game at 2-2 to wrap up a wild first period, then Orlov flashed some impressive skill in OT, taking the puck out of the corner in Pittsburgh's end, fending off a defender to work his way into the slot and then ripping a shot top shelf past Tristan Jarry. Orlov has found another gear since Christmas despite missing four total games due to a stint on the COVID-19 list and a suspension, collecting three goals and eight points in his last 11 games.

Orlov registered an assist, two shots on goal, two hits and three blocked shots in Friday's 5-0 win over the Stars.
EDGE Analysis
Orlov set up Nicklas Backstrom's second-period tally. The assist was Orlov's first point in three appearances since serving a two-game suspension. The 30-year-old blueliner reached the 20-point mark for the seven straight campaign -- he's at five goals, 15 helpers, 63 shots on net, 72 hits, 46 blocks 34 PIM and a plus-16 rating as a steady top-four defenseman.

Orlov (suspension) will be available against Vegas on Monday after serving his two-game ban for kneeing.
EDGE Analysis
Orlov needs just one more point to reach the 20-point threshold for the seventh consecutive season and could even push for the career-high he set back in 2016-17 (33 points in 82 games). Despite logging over a minute per game with the man advantage, the 30-year-old blueliner has just one power-play goal to show for it.

Orlov was suspended two games for kneeing the Jets' Nikolaj Ehlers (lower body) on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
There was no penalty on the play, but Orlov will answer for his misdeed by missing games Thursday versus the Bruins and Saturday versus the Senators. He'll be eligible to return Monday against the Golden Knights. Matt Irwin will likely enter the lineup in place of Orlov.
