Tom Wilson Injury: Not ready to return

Wilson (lower body) remains on injured reserve and won't play Saturday versus the Panthers, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports.

Wilson was deemed a game-time decision, but the lack of an activation from IR means he'll need to miss a seventh consecutive game. He should be considered close to a return, perhaps as early as Monday in Colorado, a game that kicks off a six-game road trip for the Capitals.
