Jay Beagle remains sidelined with what the Washington Post describes an an apparent left shoulder injury.

Beagle is expected to miss at least three more games with what the Washington Post describes an an apparent left shoulder injury.

Analysis:

"He's getting closer," coach Barry Trotz said of Beagle on Thursday. "I don't anticipate him playing this weekend, if he did it'd probably be Sunday, but I don't really anticipate that. I expect him early next week sometime." Based on that assessment, Beagle, who last suited up on March 11, doesn't seem likely to return to the Caps' lineup before Tuesday's game against Carolina.
