Oshie (illness) will not suit up for Saturday's game against the Blues.

Analysis:

Oshie continues to deal with the flu, and unfortunately it will prevent him from playing against his former team. He should be considered day-to-day ahead of Monday's home tilt against the Blue Jackets. Being integrated into the dynamic Capitals offense has allowed Oshie to reach a career high in goals (23), including 10 scores on the man advantage. Oddly, his assists are down significantly, as he's set up 22 goals after recording 36 in his seventh and latest year as a member of the Blues in 2014-15.
