Marcus Johansson: Will miss at least two more games

Johansson (upper body) practiced Friday but didn't take contact and still has no timetable for his return, Isabelle Khurshudyan of The Washington Post reports.

Analysis:

"I felt better and better the last few days," Johansson said. "It's been going pretty quickly, so you want to be out there and skate with them and get back with the guys. That's something you miss, too, so it was fun to be out there today." Johansson reportedly will miss a back-to-back set that begins Saturday afternoon against the Devils and concludes with a home match against the Flyers. His next chance to suit up for a game will be Tuesday, a road date with the Predators, but per the report, Capitals coach Barry Trotz has indicated that he wants his players to get in "a couple" of practices before returning from injury.
