TJ Oshie and Christian Djoos both missed Capitals practice on Monday.
Oshie has what Peter’s grandmother calls the good ol’ “north and south” while Djoos suffered an upper-body during Washington’s game Saturday against the Carolina Hurricanes.

But the Caps did get some good news. Tom Wilson, who missed Saturday’s game due to a lower-body injury, returned as well as Michal Kempny.
