O'Brien (lower body) will not play Wednesday against the Islanders, Alex Prewitt of the Washington Post reports.

Analysis:

O'Brien was on the ice for rushes with the fourth line, but went after Evgeny Kuznetsov, suggesting he'll miss another game. The 20-year-old looks like he's recovered from the injury at this point and could return over the weekend for either both of the Capitals' back-to-back contests.
