Capitals' Wilson (Lower Body) Remains on IR, Out Saturday; Close to Return

Washington Capitals forward Tom Wilson (lower body) remains on injured reserve and will not play Saturday versus the Panthers, marking his seventh consecutive missed game. Despite being deemed a game-time decision, he was not activated from IR. Wilson is considered close to a return, with a potential comeback as early as Monday in Colorado, which would kick off a six-game road trip for the Capitals.
