Forward Carl Hagelin, who has missed the past two games with an upper-body injury and is labeled as day-to-day, will not travel with the Washington Capitals for their game at the Philadelphia Flyers on Wednesday night (7:30 PM ET, NBCSN). Head coach Todd Reirden said that he has not resumed skating yet.
Forward Richard Panik was elevated to the third line, where he played before he suffered a lower-body injury on October 16, while Garnet Hathaway was demoted to the fourth.
Goaltender Braden Holtby will start against the Flyers on Wednesday night.

Wife and I will be at the game in Philly tomorrow right behind Hart for periods 1 and 3. Hoping for an Ovie hattrick!
Good Luck Esteban!
And Richard Panik is on audition again. When will he contribute something to the team? Frustrating. It’s a long season.
Easy buddy. Caps are night and day systematically to the Coyotes and of course now he’s just recovered from an injury. Panik will find his way.
