Necas (undisclosed) is questionable for Friday's game against Washington, per Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer

EDGE Analysis

Necas exited Thursday's practice early, per Cory Lavalette of the North State Journal. Coach Rod Brind'Amour was initially "hopeful" about Necas' chances of playing versus the Capitals, but it seems his status is still up in the air. Vasily Ponomarev has been summoned from AHL Chicago and can draw into the lineup if Necas or Stefan Noesen (illness) is unavailable.
