Chorney (illness) left early in the first period of Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Panthers due to flu-like symptoms, Isabelle Khurshudyan of The Washington Post reports.

Analysis:

Chorney had been feeling under-the-weather prior to Tuesday's game and left after logging just 4:34 of ice time. He was absent from Wednesday's practice so his status for Thursday's date with the Islanders is uncertain. He has five assists and a plus-12 rating in 39 games this season.
