Florida Panthers writer Jameson Olive reports that Florida Panthers defenseman Aaron Ekblad still needs to be cleared to play against the Washington Capitals.
Bruno said things are looking good in terms of having a full lineup tomorrow. Ekblad still needs to be cleared, and Marchment also needs a positive report after practice, but things look good.

Ekblad has been sidelined with a lower-body injury and last played on March 18. He led all Panthers’ defensemen in points with 15 goals and 42 assists despite the layoff.
