Orlov (personal) will be in Monday's lineup against the Maple Leafs, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Orlov missed Monday's morning skate but he won't miss any game action. The 30-year-old blueliner will skate in his usual top-four role where he's averaging 21:03 of ice time through 50 games this season.

Orlov did not participate in Monday's morning skate due to personal reasons, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Orlov has averaged 21:02 of ice time -- 1:06 during the power play -- and generated 24 points over 50 performances this season. He currently has not been officially ruled out of Monday's game against Toronto. The 30-year-old hasn't missed a game since Jan. 22.

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.

Orlov will have a hearing with the Department of Player Safety on Wednesday for kneeing the Jets' Nikolaj Ehlers (lower body).

EDGE Analysis

Orlov racked up a goal and an assist in Tuesday's matchup with Winnipeg but now faces a potential suspension that could sideline him versus Boston on Thursday at least. With John Carlson's (COVID-19 protocols) availability in doubt, missing the 30-year-old Orlov would further stretch the Caps' blue line and would likely force Matt Irwin and Dennis Cholowski into bigger roles.

Orlov had two shots and two hits in a 4-2 loss to the Canucks on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Orlov missed the previous two games under COVID-19 protocols. The defenseman has 17 points in 37 games this season.

Orlov cleared the NHL's COVID-19 protocols Sunday, JJ Regan of NBC Sports Washington reports.

EDGE Analysis

Orlov has missed the last two games. The 30-year-old has averaged 21:00 of ice time -- 1:04 during the power play -- and has tallied 17 points over 36 appearances this season. In order to accommodate Orlov's return, Michal Kempny will likely be reassigned to the taxi squad or AHL.

The Capitals placed Orlov in COVID-19 protocols Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Orlov will miss Monday's game against the Bruins. His absence will be significantly felt in the interim as he has posted four goals, 17 points and a plus-17 rating while averaging 21 minutes of ice time in 36 games this season.
