Capitals coach Barry Trotz expects Williams (lower body) to be available for Saturday's game against the Canadiens, Isabelle Khurshudyan of the Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Williams missed Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Bruins due to a lower-body injury, but his ailment evidently isn't overly serious. The Capitals and Williams' fantasy owners will be relieved to see his absence will likely be limited to a single game, because the veteran forward has been extremely productive over the past month, racking up 14 points (eight goals, six assists) in his last 15 games. The 35-year-old winger will likely return to his role skating on Washington's second line and second power-play unit against the Habs.
