Capitals Delay Debuts for Liljegren and Kampf as Center Awaits Immigration Clearance

Overview

• Head coach Spencer Carbery said neither trade-deadline addition will play against the Flames on Monday at Capital One Arena.
• David Kampf remains unavailable while the U.S. government processes his paperwork, and Carbery said a Wednesday debut is possible but not guaranteed.
• Timothy Liljegren will sit to get acclimated and dialed in to Washington’s systems after arriving from San Jose.
• Both players practiced with the Capitals for the first time on Sunday in D.C., reuniting with Carbery from their Toronto tenure.
• Washington acquired Liljegren and Kampf to offset the departures of John Carlson and Nic Dowd, with Liljegren expected to handle right-side minutes and Kampf to take checking-line and penalty-kill duties.
