Sprong will be a healthy scratch for Wednesday's home match against the Red Wings, Samantha Pell of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sprong has just two points in six games and logged a season-low 7:42 of ice time during Monday's 7-5 win over the Senators. The 24-year-old posted 13 goals and 20 points in 42 games last season, so Sprong should get back into the lineup in the near future.
