Coach Barry Trotz suggested Friday that Orlov (wrist) may not be able to return until the end of November, Alex Prewitt of the Washington Post reports. Since undergoing wrist surgery in May, Orlov has failed to progress as quickly as the Capitals anticipated. Orlov was initially projected to be ready for opening night, but ultimately decided to stash him on long-term injured reserve after he failed to show much improvement. It sounds like the blueliner is still struggling to regain strength in the wrist one month later, and he's yet to take part in any practices with the team.
