Jeff Schultz may play in Game 1 on Thursday in Boston after sitting as a healthy scratch for five straight contests to end the regular season. He has been paired with Dennis Wideman at practice recently, with rookie Dmitry Orlov skating as the odd man out, and was told to stay "ready" by the Capitals as they prepare to face the defending Stanley Cup champions. "Whatever happens, happens," said Schultz, who admittedly isn't sure if he'll be in the lineup. "The mind frame I need to have if I get in is not to worry about making mistakes or anything like that. If they make a change, they make a change. If not, just build off each game."
