Coach Lindy Ruff said there's a "good chance" that Demers (illness) plays Saturday.

Analysis:

Demers was a late scratch in Thursday's game. If he does return Saturday against the Capitals, there may be concerns for a game or two about whether he's 100 percent, since he's not healthy enough to skate Friday. He may be worth avoiding for a game in daily play.
