The Washington Capitals will be without Evgeny Kuznetsov, T.J. Oshie and Braden Holtby for Friday night's tilt versus the Colorado Avalanche, the team announced.
All three players are considered day to day with upper-body injuries.
Oshie and Kuznetsov both sustained their injuries Wednesday against the Winnipeg Jets. Oshie was on the receiving end of Josh Morrissey's illegal hit, while Kuznetsov left the game early after taking an elbow to the head.
Meanwhile, Holtby will miss his second straight contest after being listed as day to day earlier in the week. Pheonix Copley's expected to start between the pipes.
The Capitals are in the middle of a four-game road trip and have lost three of their last four contests.
