Schultz (face) won't play in Sunday's game versus the Flyers, Samantha Pell of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Capitals have just seven healthy defensemen, so Nick Jensen will stay in the lineup in Schultz's place. Schultz's next chance to play is Tuesday's rematch against the Flyers.

Schultz (face) isn't expected to be in the lineup for Thursday's game against New York, NHL.com's Mike Vogel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Schultz will miss a third straight game with his facial injury and the Capitals have yet to release a specific timetable for his return. Trevor van Riemsdyk will continue to fill in on Washington's second pairing until Schultz is ready to rock.

Schultz (face) remains day-to-day and will not be in the lineup Monday against the Bruins, Samantha Pell of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Schultz hasn't played since garnering two helpers in Washington's 6-3 win over the Islanders on Jan. 28. With a few days to get right, the 30-year-old could be ready to rock in time for the Feb. 4 match against the Rangers.

Schultz (face) won't be available for Saturday's game against the Bruins, Tarik El-Bashir of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Schultz took a puck to the face during Thursday's win over the Islanders and will miss at least one game as a result. The 30-year-old blueliner will hope to heal up in time for Monday's rematch with Boston.

Head coach Peter Laviolette indicated Schultz (face) is considered day-to-day after getting hit in the face with a puck during Thursday's action, Samantha Pell of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Schultz did not participate in Friday's optional practice session after sustaining the injury in Thursday's 6-3 victory over the Islanders. The 30-year-old's status for Saturday's game against the Bruins is uncertain. Nick Jensen would figure to draw into the lineup should the British Columbia native be unable to play.

Schultz (face) recorded two assists -- including one on the power play -- along with a plus-2 rating while logging 14:31 of ice time during Thursday's 6-3 victory over the Islanders.

EDGE Analysis

Despite exiting the game after taking a puck to the face in the third period, Schultz continued his recent hot streak with his fourth helper and sixth point in his last three games. The 30-year-old is sizzling after a sluggish start offensively with his new team and should continue to get plenty of opportunities -- provided the face injury he sustained does not threaten his availability for Saturday's showdown against the Bruins.

Schultz (face) was hit by a puck and could not finish Thursday's game versus the Islanders, Samantha Pell of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Schultz left the game after he was bloodied by the errant puck. Per head coach Peter Laviolette, Schultz is okay, but still under evaluation. This is likely precautionary, but fantasy managers may want to check on his status prior to Saturday's game versus the Bruins anyway. Schultz had two assists prior to his departure.

Schultz scored the game-winning goal at even strength and added a power-play assist in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Islanders.

EDGE Analysis

His second goal of the campaign came with 0:27 left on the clock in the third period. Schultz has come up big the last two games, scoring two goals and four points, while Alex Ovechkin, Evgeny Kuznetsov and others have been sidelined due to COVID-19 protocols, but it remains to be seen what kind of role the 30-year-old blueliner will have when the roster is back at something closer to full strength.

Schultz scored an even-strength goal and added a power-play assist in Sunday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Sabres.

EDGE Analysis

After being held without a point through the first five games of the season, Schultz broke out by opening the scoring midway through the first period before adding a helper on T.J. Oshie's tally in the second. Schultz has a spot on the top power-play unit for the short-handed Caps right now, and with his early-season slump behind him, his fantasy fortunes could be on the upswing.

Schultz was working with the second power-play unit during Thursday's practice, Samantha Pell of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Schultz's offensive capabilities were among the reasons Washington signed the blueliner to a two-year, $4 million contract in October and it appears he will get an opportunity to showcase those skills on the power-play. With John Carlson firmly entrenched on the first unit, the 30-year-old is better suited as a late-round option in most fantasy formats.
