Flyers at Capitals, 7:30 p.m. ET
Capitals: unconfirmed. Logan Thompson (lower body) took part in the first 40 minutes of Monday's practice, NHL.com's status report says. Coach Spencer Carbery called it a good step but would not say whether Thompson will be ready Wednesday. Charlie Lindgren started Saturday's overtime win against Buffalo, per the box score.
