Schultz (lower body) was a full participant at Tuesday's morning skate, but he won't be in the lineup for the evening's matchup with the Islanders, Samantha Pell of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Although Schultz won't play versus the Isles, a return to action Thursday against Pittsburgh seems like a realistic possibility. He's racked up 23 points through 42 games this season.

Schultz (lower body) did not travel with the team and is expected to miss the next two games, Samantha Pell of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Schultz has been a key cog in Washington's defense corps, posting three goals, 23 points and a plus-12 rating in 42 games in his inaugural season with the Capitals. The 30-year-old's absence could not come at a worse time as Washington gets set for two consecutive road games against the Islanders in a series that could go a long way to deciding supremacy in the Mass Mutual East Division playoff picture. Trevor van Riemsdyk is expected to take Schultz's place in the lineup in the interim, but expect Dmitry Orlov to soak up the bulk of the power-play time on the second unit.

Schultz is considered day-to-day with his lower-body injury, Samantha Pell of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Schultz isn't practicing Tuesday, but the Capitals don't play until Thursday versus the Islanders, so the 30-year-old blueliner may not be forced to miss any additional game action with the lower-body injury he picked up Sunday against Boston. Schultz has picked up 23 points through 42 games this campaign.

Schultz (lower body) won't return to Sunday's game against the Bruins.

EDGE Analysis

Schultz took a hard hit from Taylor Hall in the first period of Sunday's game and appeared to take the worst of the collision. The 30-year-old will exit the game having seen just 2:45 of ice time, recording one block in that span. With Schultz out the Capitals will roll with five defensemen, and look for Lars Eller to bump up to the second power-play unit for the remainder of Sunday's contest.

Schultz scored a goal and two assists while adding three shots on net, two hits, one blocked shot and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 4-3 win over the Sabres.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran blueliner found the scoresheet in all three periods, with his tally coming just 28 seconds into the second frame. Schultz had only one helper over his prior six games, but on the season he's put together a strong three goals and 21 points through 37 contests.

Schultz dished out two assists in Thursday's 4-3 win over New Jersey.

EDGE Analysis

Schultz has quietly put together a productive five-game run, dishing out six assists in that span. With 16 points in 28 games, Schultz has already surpassed his point total from each of the past two seasons and is looking more like the player who scored 51 points with Pittsburgh in 2016-17.

Schultz collected two assists and led all players with a plus-4 rating in Monday's 6-0 win over Buffalo.

EDGE Analysis

Schultz enjoyed his first multi-point game since the end of January, drawing primary assists on goals by Evgeny Kuznetsov and Garnet Hathaway. The performance broke a stretch for Schultz in which he had collected just one assist over his previous seven games. For the year, Schultz owns two goals and 10 helpers in 24 contests.

Schultz tallied an assist while logging 19:24 of ice time during Saturday's 5-2 win over the Devils.

EDGE Analysis

The helper is Schultz's third point in eight games since returning from a short absence due to a face injury. The 30-year-old is locked into a top-four role in his first season with the Capitals, posting two goals, nine points and a plus-10 rating in 16 games.

Schultz (face) is expected to play in Sunday's game versus the Penguins.

EDGE Analysis

Schultz missed the last four games after taking a puck to the face Jan. 28 against the Islanders. He's been skating with a face shield at practice, and there's a good chance that continues when he returns to game action. The 30-year-old was heating up before the injury, posting two points in three straight games.

Schultz (face) returned to the ice Monday and is day-to-day ahead of Tuesday's game versus the Flyers, JJ Regan of NBC Sports Washington reports.

EDGE Analysis

Schultz took a puck to the face Jan. 28, suffering a few fractures and losing some teeth. He wore a full face shield during Monday's practice, and he'll likely sport the extra protection for at least a few games. He's trending toward being a game-time decision Tuesday. The 30-year-old accrued six points and a plus-9 rating over eight games prior to the injury.
