Matt Roy - Ruled out for Friday Roy (lower body) won't play in Friday's game against the Rangers, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports.
Impact Roy will be unavailable for a second consecutive game due to a lower-body injury he sustained during Saturday's loss to the Lightning. However, head coach Spencer Carbery said Friday that Roy is "coming along" and remains day-to-day. Roy hasn't yet resumed skating on his own, so it's not yet clear whether he'll be in the mix to suit up for Sunday's game against Seattle.

Logan Thompson - In goal against Rangers Thompson will get the starting nod at home versus the Rangers on Friday, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.
Impact Thompson is riding a two-game win streak to start the year, registering a 2.50 GAA and .921 save percentage along the way. While the Calgary native figures to see the bulk of the workload for the Caps, he appeared in 58 regular-season games last year; the club is fully confident in Charlie Lindgren and could give him some starts outside of back-to-backs to keep Thompson rested throughout the year.
