Fleischmann Activated, Laing Ill

The Capitals activated left wing Tomas Fleischmann on Wednesday, and he may be able to take the ice for the first time this season on Thursday in Atlanta. Fleischmann, who scored 19 goals for the Caps last season, has missed the first 11 games of the 2009-10 season with deep vein thrombosis, a condition he developed early in the off-season. Fleischmann is one of eight players who have missed action because of injury or illness in Washington’s first 11 games.

In other injury news, left wing Quintin Laing was diagnosed with the H1N1 (swine flu) virus. He was sent home early on Tuesday and will remain away from the team until he is symptom-free. Forward Boyd Gordon and defenseman John Erskine are both still sidelined with injuries as well.

Right wing Eric Fehr is day-to-day with an upper body injury. His status for Thursday’s game with the Thrashers will likely be determined at the morning skate.
