Alex Prewitt of The Washington Post reports "there is a chance" that Orlov will join the Capitals on their upcoming road trip and may end up making his season debut at some point during that trip.
Orlov has had a terrible road to recovery following offseason wrist surgery and has only recently begun playing with AHL Hershey after being sent to the minors last week. The Capitals are hoping to have Orlov at the ready for the playoff run, but given the difficulty in his recovery, it is hard to say whether Orlov will be up to the task any time soon. However, should he return to the lineup and remain healthy, it should provide some assurance that he will be ready for next season, and thus improve his draft stock for the 2015-2016 season.
