Questionable for Saturday Schultz (lower body) took part in Saturday's optional skate and is questionable to play against the Flyers, Samantha Pell of The Washington Post reports.
Impact Schultz has missed the last three games with the injury, but it has yet to be decided if he will suit up for Saturday's contest. It does not sound like the 30-year-old defender's availability for the postseason is much of a concern, though the Capitals may elect to be cautious with Schultz's deployment in their final two regular season games.

Remains shelved Schultz (lower body) will not play in Friday's clash with the Flyers, JJ Regan of NBC Sports Washington reports.
Impact Schultz will be sidelined for a third straight contest due to his lingering lower-body issue. In 44 games with the Capitals this year, the 30-year-old blueliner has garnered three goals and 22 assists, including eight helpers with the man advantage. Once cleared to return, Schultz should rejoin the No. 2 power-play unit and provide solid fantasy value. With a back-to-back on the schedule, it's hard to imagine Schultz will be cleared in time to play in Saturday's rematch with Philadelphia.

Unavailable against New York Schultz (lower body) isn't on the ice for warmups and won't play in Wednesday's game against the Rangers, Samantha Pell of The Washington Post reports.
Impact Schultz was originally expected to suit up in Wednesday's game coming off the lower-body issue, but he'll miss another contest. The veteran will continue to be a huge loss on defense and on the power play, as he's racked up 25 points in 44 games this season. The Capitals are incredibly thin Thursday, as they'll have 17 players available, so look for Daniel Carr to enter the lineup.

Good to go According to coach Peter Laviolette, Schultz (lower body) is "clear and available" ahead of Thursday's matchup with Pittsburgh, JJ Regan of NBC Sports Washington reports.
Impact Schultz will likely return to a top-four role as well as a spot on one of Washington's power-play units following his three-game absence. The 30-year-old defenseman has picked up 23 points through 42 contests this season.

Not traveling with team Schultz (lower body) did not travel with the team and is expected to miss the next two games, Samantha Pell of The Washington Post reports.
Impact Schultz has been a key cog in Washington's defense corps, posting three goals, 23 points and a plus-12 rating in 42 games in his inaugural season with the Capitals. The 30-year-old's absence could not come at a worse time as Washington gets set for two consecutive road games against the Islanders in a series that could go a long way to deciding supremacy in the Mass Mutual East Division playoff picture. Trevor van Riemsdyk is expected to take Schultz's place in the lineup in the interim, but expect Dmitry Orlov to soak up the bulk of the power-play time on the second unit.

Considered day-to-day Schultz is considered day-to-day with his lower-body injury, Samantha Pell of The Washington Post reports.
Impact Schultz isn't practicing Tuesday, but the Capitals don't play until Thursday versus the Islanders, so the 30-year-old blueliner may not be forced to miss any additional game action with the lower-body injury he picked up Sunday against Boston. Schultz has picked up 23 points through 42 games this campaign.

Leaves game Sunday Schultz (lower body) won't return to Sunday's game against the Bruins.
Impact Schultz took a hard hit from Taylor Hall in the first period of Sunday's game and appeared to take the worst of the collision. The 30-year-old will exit the game having seen just 2:45 of ice time, recording one block in that span. With Schultz out the Capitals will roll with five defensemen, and look for Lars Eller to bump up to the second power-play unit for the remainder of Sunday's contest.
