On ice before optional practice Kuznetsov (COVID-19 protocols) was on the ice ahead of the team's optional practice Sunday, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.

Impact Per head coach Peter Laviolette, Kuznetsov remains "not available for a few more days" but is allowed to work out with the team per league rules. That would suggest the Russian center won't play Game 2 on Monday against Boston, but further clarification should be provided on that front closer to puck drop.

Promoted from AHL Hershey Fucale was recalled from AHL Hershey on Sunday.

Impact Fucale should provide goaltending depth after Vitek Vanecek suffered an undisclosed injury in Saturday's Game 1 win. The 25-year-old Fucale is unlikely to dress for Washington barring further injuries in net.

Officially labeled day-to-day Vanecek (lower body) did not participate in practice Sunday and is day-to-day ahead of Monday's Game 2 against Boston, JJ Regan of NBC Sports Washington reports.

Impact Considering it's playoff time and coaches rarely spill the beans about their netminders, this news comes as no surprise. Head coach Peter Laviolette further muddied the waters by saying he wasn't sure if Vanecek is "short" day-to-day or "long" day-to-day. Washington's starter for Game 2 has yet to be named, but it could be Ilya Samsonov (undisclosed), who was on the ice for practice Sunday, or 39-year-old veteran Craig Anderson.

Returns to practice Sunday Samsonov (undisclosed) was on the ice for Sunday's practice, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.

Impact With Vitek Vanecek (undisclosed) exiting Saturday's Game 1 win in the first period, Samsonov could be thrust into a Game 2 starting role Monday if he shows sufficiently good form in practice Sunday. Samsonov was removed from COVID-19 protocols Saturday, and Sunday marks his first time on the ice in just over two weeks, so he could be dealing with some rust. Craig Anderson got the win in relief Saturday and will likely get the nod for Game 2 if neither Vanecek nor Samsonov are deemed ready.
