Scott Mayfield returns to the ice for morning skate after an injury. Mayfield's progress is described as positive, but no update is given on his condition.

Varlamov records his second shutout of the season, stopping all 32 shots in a 3-0 victory over the Capitals. Pelech's condition remains unknown. Varlamov's performance is highlighted, with an Expected Goals Against of 5.00 in the shutout win. Pelech returns to the ice for morning skate but leaves early. Pelech is ruled out for the game due to a lower-body injury, with Samuel Bolduc taking his place.
As expected, no Adam Pelech for #Isles, as he was ruled out with a lower-body injury. Samuel Bolduc will draw back in.
Adam Pelech will not play tonight. He’s day to day with a lower-body injury. #Isles

Isles coach Lane Lambert said D Scott Mayfield (lower body, 7 games) will be a game-time decision tonight vs. Caps. Samuel Bolduc, who played Mayfield's place, is working on ice with Isles extras after the skate. Mayfield came off with players playing, so looks like he's in.
Scott Mayfield is a game-time decision. #Isles

Lambert on switching Barzal and Wahlstrom again, which he did Saturday vs. #CBJ to spark something: "Similar circumstances. They were creating a lot of chances offensively. Just defensively, we've got to shore things up." #Isles
Barzal and Horvat are off to a strong start tonight, unlike Saturday. That led to Barzal swapping with Wahlstrom. They've responded. #Isles
Lambert on Mayfield being back on the ice with the team: "It's positive. There's no question. We've been saying he's day-to-day for a while, and he has been." Added that it's important to get Mayfield into "uncontrolled situations." #Isles
No update on Scott Mayfield, per Lambert. Did say it's a step in the right direction that he was on the ice this morning. #Isles
