Schultz (lower body) will not play in Friday's clash with the Flyers, JJ Regan of NBC Sports Washington reports.

EDGE Analysis

Schultz will be sidelined for a third straight contest due to his lingering lower-body issue. In 44 games with the Capitals this year, the 30-year-old blueliner has garnered three goals and 22 assists, including eight helpers with the man advantage. Once cleared to return, Schultz should rejoin the No. 2 power-play unit and provide solid fantasy value. With a back-to-back on the schedule, it's hard to imagine Schultz will be cleared in time to play in Saturday's rematch with Philadelphia.
