Schultz (upper body) won't return to Tuesday's game versus the Predators.

EDGE Analysis

Schultz was hurt in the first period Tuesday, though it's unclear when the injury occurred. The 31-year-old had picked five assists in his last six games, so this is a notable absence for the Capitals. If he can't play Thursday versus the Flyers, Matt Irwin or Michael Kempny would draw into the lineup.
