Capitals' Hendrix Lapierre: Healthy scratch Saturday

Lapierre will be a healthy scratch Saturday after missing Thursday's game versus Toronto with an illness, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports.

Head coach Spencer Carbery will go with the same lineup as Thursday, when they shut out the Maple Leafs 4-0. Lapierre has five assists, 22 hits and 24 shots on goal over 32 appearances this season. He could return to the lineup Sunday in Detroit.
