Dmitry Orlov Misses Sunday's Practice
2 years agoWashington Capitals defenseman Dmitry Orlov (lower body) didn't skate in Sunday's practice after getting hurt Saturday night versus Arizona. He was able to play for only a little over seven minutes against the Coyotes. The Capitals have already been without John Carlson (lower body) for a few games, and the personnel at the back could now look very interesting on Monday against Edmonton if Orlov is also unable to play. Nick Jensen ate up the most minutes Saturday with Orlov missing, and he could now be considered the de facto Capitals No. 1 defenseman if the team's two best blue-liners aren't healthy enough to be in the lineup.
