Beagle (upper body) will see his first preseason action Friday when the Capitals are visited by the Bruins, Alex Prewitt of The Washington Post reports.

Analysis:

Beagle has been dealing with an upper-body injury, but has been practicing since Wednesday with no apparent setbacks. Battling for a fourth-line spot on the Capitals' opening night roster, Beagle isn't likely to be a factor in fantasy leagues unless he can move up the ranks and find a consistent scoring touch, but the Capitals will be happy to have him back in the fold.
