Capitals' Martin Fehervary: Departs Wednesday's contest
Rotowire
Fehervary (lower body) won't return to Wednesday's game versus the Ducks.
Fehervary was ruled out during the third period. The 23-year-old defenseman opened the scoring in the first period, which was his fifth goal and 13th point of the campaign. Trades have already depleted the Capitals' blue line a bit, and both Fehervary and Nick Jensen (upper body) couldn't finish Wednesday's game, which could lead to the Capitals making a roster move ahead of Saturday's game in San Jose.

Rotowire
Fehervary scored a goal on two shots, logged three hits and blocked two shots in Thursday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Kraken.
Fehervary entered this road trip with no goals this season, but he's scored in each of the last two games.

The Canucks aggressively pulled the goalie early, and Fehervary made them pay with his first goal of the year from long distance. The 23-year-old defenseman rarely does much on offense -- this was just his third point in 24 contests and his first since an assist Nov. 11 versus the Lightning. He's made up for it in physicality with 79 hits and 36 blocked shots while adding 34 shots on net, 10 PIM and an even plus-minus rating in a defensive top-four role.
