Tomas Vokoun (lower body) should be fine to serve as the team's backup or starter on Tuesday. Vokoun wasn't available for Sunday's game, which led to Washington calling up goaltender Braden Holtby. However, Holtby was sent back to the minors on Monday. Vokoun has apparently been dealing with this injury for a while and before he took a game off. "It happened like 10 days ago," Vokoun said. "It's not bad. I never let it go really bad. After that [Friday] practice it get really sore, so they decided to keep me out a couple days."
