Capitals' T.J. Oshie: Doubtful to play Thursday

Oshie (upper body) is unlikely to suit up for Thursday's game against the Devils, Isabelle Khurshudyan of the Washington Post reports.

Analysis:

Oshie practiced with the team Wednesday, but he didn't take the first rush with the top line or skate with the power-play unit, indicating that he'll likely still need a few practices to get up to speed. Khursudyan adds that Oshie said he is feeling good, but the team wants to be cautious with him, which makes sense with the Caps preparing for what they hope will be a deep playoff run.
