Considered day-to-day Head coach Spencer Carbery said Friday that Sourdif (illness) is considered day-to-day, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports.

Impact Sourdif didn't practice Friday due to his illness, and it's unclear whether the issue will impact his availability against New Jersey on Saturday. Pierre-Luc Dubois (illness) has already been ruled out for Saturday's matchup, so Ethen Frank will likely see playing time for the Capitals if Sourdif is sidelined.

Impact Sourdif and the Capitals were able to get an extension done prior to Tuesday night's deadline for eight-year deals before the new CBA takes effect. Sourdif had a breakout performance in 2025-26, earning 15 goals and 20 assists over 78 regular-season games. The 24-year-old will be in line for bottom-six minutes, but at a $6.35 million cap hit, he should push for a more prominent role throughout the majority of the contract.
