Practice just started at KCI, and I don't see Alex Ovechkin, Jeff Schultz or Michael Nylander on the ice. Ovechkin, of course, is out with a strain near his left shoulder; Schultz left Friday's game with a lower-body injury; and Nylander was placed on waivers on Saturday. Nylander is scheduled to clear waivers at noon today. Mike Green, however, has returned after missing Saturday's game with an upper-body injury and appears to be participating fully. Boyd Gordon is also out there and appears to be participating fully.
