Capitals' Matt Niskanen: Questionable for Friday

Niskanen (lower body) is uncertain to play Friday against the Oilers, Isabelle Khurshudyan of The Washington Post reports.

Analysis:

Niskanen exited in the second period of Wednesday's contest after knee-on-knee contact with Flyers defenseman Radko Gudas and is considered day-to-day. With the Capitals comfortably in a playoff position and Friday's game being against a Western Conference opponent, it's likely they will be cautious and hold the 30-year-old defenseman out of the lineup for at least one game, but look for updates after morning skate.
