Tomas Vokoun (lower body) skated on Monday, but he might not be available for Tuesday's game. The Capitals appear to be hedging their bets by keeping three goaltenders on their roster, including Braden Holtby. Michal Neuvirth has played between the pipes in five straight games and might get the nod again on Tuesday.

Tomas Vokoun sustained a lower body injury during warmups. Capitals coach Dale Hunter wouldn't go into detail about the cause or nature of the injury, but he did say that "it's a day-to-day thing." The timing is particularly unfortunate for Vokoun, who will probably start on Sunday if he's healthy enough to play. Michal Neuvirth kicked out 15 of 20 shots on Friday.

Tomas Vokoun hasn't been asked to waive his no-trade clause. "They didn't approach me, so I'm not going to speculate on that," Vokoun said. He doesn't think he'll be traded before the deadline and at this point, we're inclined to agree.

Coach Dale Hunter didn't pull any punches in his tough assessment of Tomas Vokoun's performance in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to Ottawa. "They jumped on us. Tomas would like a few of them back," Hunter said following the defeat. "He wasn't as sharp as he should have been, and it's in the back of our net. We need some big stops early that's part of the game and tonight we played a good, solid road game and we lose. Goaltending is a big part of the game and we need good goaltending." Vokoun allowed four goals on just 11 shots before getting pulled in the second period. It was the second time in as many games that he received the hook.
