Marc-Andre Fleury Struggles In Nation's Capital

Vegas Golden Knights goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury allowed four goals on just 28 shots in Wednesday's 5-2 loss against the Washington Capitals.

Braden Holtby Nails Down Another Win

Washington Capitals goaltender Braden Holtby allowed two goals on 31 shots in Wednesday's 5-2 home win against the Vegas Golden Knights in a rematch of last season's Stanley Cup Finals.

Craig Anderson Roughed Up In Home Loss

Ottawa Senators goaltender Craig Anderson yielded six goals on 44 shots in Wednesday's 7-4 loss against the Philadelphia Flyers.

Maxime Lajoie Posts Three-Point Evening

Ottawa Senators defenseman Maxime Lajoie picked up two power-play goals with an assist, a minus-one rating and four shots on goal in 23:19 of ice time in Wednesday's 7-4 loss against the Philadelphia Flyers.

Ottawa Senators left wing Brady Tkachuk picked up a pair of goals with an assist, a plus-one rating and six shots on goal in Wednesday's 7-4 setback against the Philadelphia Flyers.

Scott Laughton Lights The Lamp Twice In Win

Philadelphia Flyers center Scott Laughton stepped up with two goals and a plus-two rating with five shots on net in Wednesday's 7-4 road win against the Ottawa Senators.

Nolan Patrick Shaken Up In Road Victory

Philadelphia Flyers center Nolan Patrick (upper body) left Wednesday's 7-4 road victory against the Ottawa Senators due to an upper-body injury, as he appeared to be clipped by a high stick in the first period and he looked rather woozy on the bench. He ended up going scoreless in just five shifts over 3:30 of […]

Washington Redskins offensive guards Shawn Lauvao (calf) and Brandon Scherff (knee) were estimated to be limited participants in Wednesday's walk-through practice, while offensive tackle Trent Williams (knee) was also listed as limited due to his knee ailment.

Josh Doctson Trending In The Right Direction

Washington Redskins wide receiver Josh Doctson (heel) was seen walking without a boot or any other assistance on Wednesday, and head coach Jay Gruden said the ailment should not prohibit the receiver from playing in the Week 6 game against the Carolina Panthers.

Jamison Crowder Uncertain for Week 6

Washington Redskins wide receiver Jamison Crowder (ankle) continues to heal after banging up his ankle in the Week 5 game against the New Orleans Saints.

Chris Thompson Listed As Limited Participant

Washington Redskins running back Chris Thompson (ribs) was estimated to be a limited participant in practice Wednesday by head coach Jay Gruden.
