Michal Kempny cleared for contact, likely to return next week

After being placed on the ‘injured non roster’ list on Tuesday, Capitals defenseman Michal Kempny has finally been cleared for contact.

Kempny was skating on Wednesday morning, wearing a dark blue contact jersey, according to The Washington Post’s Samantha Pell.

Todd Reirden said Michal Kempny, who was skating in a regular dark blue jersey today, is cleared for contact. No update to whether he plays later in the week vs NYI or CAR, but Reirden didn’t rule it out.
1:40 PM - Oct 2, 2019

While Reirden did not rule out that Kempny could return as soon as Friday’s matchup against the New York Islanders, or Saturday’s home opener against Carolina, NHL.com’s Tom Guilitti reported that it was more likely that the Czech defenseman will return the following week.

Tom Gulitti
@TomGulittiNHL
Reirden confirmed Kempny has been cleared for contact.  Didn’t completely rule out him playing in one of the games later this week, but said likely he won’t play until next week.
1:37 PM - Oct 2, 2019 · St Louis, MO

The road to recovery has been slow and steady for Kempny, who was injured after getting tangled up with Tampa Bay’s Cedric Paquette in March. The resulting hamstring tear required surgery, and Kempny spent the summer, and all of the preseason, rehabbing.

Kempny passed his conditioning test on September 28th, but Reirden stressed that they did not want to rush him back before he was ready.

“We’re still hoping things continue to move in the right direction. Just another few days to get him past the opener there. Then [give him] time [so he’s] been through contact and a number of different situations so he’s really comfortable on the ice,” Reirden said. “We don’t want to put him out there unprepared. No preseason games for him. We’ll practice and put him in situations where there’s a lot of five-on-five play.”

While Kempny continues to move closer to his return, 19-year-old defenseman Martin Fehervary and Jonas Siegenthaler will be in the lineup for the season opener after both players impressed during Training Camp and the preseason.

as we know, when the nhl says 8:00 they really mean 8:15, and with the Blues raising the banner tonight I expect 8:30 at the earliest

and, I thought I heard something about OV being questionable tonight because of a minor injury, but haven’t seen that confirmed anywhere

Pheonix Copley placed on waivers; Ilya Samsonov set to make NHL debut Friday against Islanders


Carlson was named an alternate captain yesterday by the Caps.

Wow! I thought they liked Copley quite a bit. Was that due to salary cap issues?  How did we get under - I thought we would have to make a trade?

Just a stupid move.   About the only good thing about it is he’s less likely to be claimed this early.


GMBetaMale is betting on, and will market this kid being a goalie messiah making Holtby expendable.   This all fine and good for a team hoping to just make the playoffs and sell a few jerseys, but not a team that expects to win a Cup

Caps are currently $150k under the salary cap I believe. Samsonov's cap hit is $175k less than Copley's. I doubt this is the reason.  They must really like Samsonov. It seems they've been grooming him for the future and like what they see. I have to say that watching him I like him too. I'll miss Copley though.

Copley was a cap issue, they are hoping no one picks him up. At the conclusion of this season Holts and Backy will need contracts too, but there is no reason to get excited about it until after the Seattle draft.

This seasons pretty much gonna come down to Reidon.


Him not adapting his system and style to his new roster, and to what the other coaches are gonna do is will be a bigger weakness than it was last year.


The stat-padding crap he did last year, won’t make it to game 7 of the first round this year that’s for damn sure

I'm looking forward to seeing the new guys.  If they are a significant improvement, I think we have a shot.  Funny, I can't even remember the guys we lost except Connally.

Let’s be honest, this is going to be a tough game for the Caps to win.  The Blues will be fired up after this pre-game ceremony just like the Caps were last season in the opening game against Boston which the Caps won 7 to 0.  The start will be the key tonight, if Caps score the first goal that could be huge.  GO CAPS.
