Capitals' T.J. Oshie: Doubtful against Predators

Oshie (upper body) is doubtful for Saturday's matchup in Nashville, Tarik El-Bashir of CSN Mid-Atlantic reports.

Analysis:

While there's no immediately known cause for Oshie's ailment, El-Bashir notes that the winger took multiple big hits against the Flyers on Wednesday, so it could just be the end result of lots of wear and tear. For the time being, Brett Connolly has assumed top-line duties and Justin Williams could also see an expanded role during Oshie's absence.
