News & notes from Caps practice

Published



Capitals defenseman Mike Green (right ankle) and forward Troy Brouwer (shoulder) will accompany the team on its trip to play the Carolina Hurricanes and New York Islanders this weekend. Doesn’t mean either is likely to play. Green left practice after about 10 minutes on Thursday. Brouwer didn’t participate at all and was not made available to reporters

Washington coach Bruce Boudreau basically ruled Green out of Friday’s game and it wouldn’t make much sense to have him play on Saturday without any practice time. Brouwer appears a little closer since he’s only missed two practice days. But Boudreau said the team will see how Brouwer feels at the morning skate and make a decision. Again, no reason to push it.
