March 4, 2013 - 5:25 PM ET
Coach Adam Oates expects Marcus Johansson (upper body) to get the go ahead to resume skating with contact after his testing Monday.
He has missed nine games an upper-body injury, but has been skating regularly for a little over a week with his Washington teammates. The Capitals want to see how he does with contact before venturing into talks of a possible return date.
