UNIONDALE, N.Y. — Marcus Johansson said Tuesday he expects to be in the lineup for the Washington Capitals on Tuesday night against the New York Islanders after his left calf was slashed by a skate in the teams’ previous game on Sunday.
Johansson was one of 13 players who took part in Washington’ optional morning skate on Tuesday, eight hours before the teams meet in Game 4 of their first-round playoff series. He was able to finish the session, then chose to share little details about the injury.
“I’m not going to talk about anything that happened,” Johansson said.
