Washington Capitals defensemen Nick Jensen (upper body) and Rasmus Sandin (upper body) will remain out for Game 2 against the Rangers on Tuesday. Both players missed the end of the regular season with upper-body injuries and still need a bit more time to recover. Jensen misses a third consecutive game, and Sandin's absence stretches to six games. The injuries have left Washington very thin at the back. As a result, Lucas Johansen will make his Stanley Cup Playoffs debut on Tuesday. The younger brother of former All-Star Ryan Johansen has posted two points in nine regular-season appearances in the NHL.
Washington Capitals defensemen Rasmus Sandin and Nick Jensen both practiced in noncontact jerseys on Saturday and are possibilities for Game 1 of their first-round series against the top-seeded New York Rangers on Sunday. Both players have been sidelined with upper-body injuries and skated on their own on Thursday and Friday before joining the team for Saturday's session. "Trending in the right direction," bench boss Spencer Carbery said on Saturday. "Both practiced today and were a part of essentially everything we did on the ice, so it's a good step." Sandin notched three goals and 23 points in 21:07 of average ice time per game while Jensen tallied one goal and 14 points in 19:38 of ice time per game across 78 contests on the season.
Washington Capitals defenseman Nick Jensen (lower body) and forward Sonny Milano (illness) will both return to the lineup for Friday's game against the visiting Philadelphia Flyers. Jensen has missed the past two contests due to a lower-body injury suffered in a loss to the Panthers on Saturday. He is without a goal with eight assists and 85 blocked shots across 56 games on the season, averaging 19:15 of ice time per game. Milano has also missed the past two games due to an illness. The 27-year-old has chipped in six goals and 11 points with 22 shots on goal across 27 games. He has averaged just 12:12 of ice time per game in a bottom-six role. Gritty winger Tom Wilson will also play on Friday after missing Thursday's practice due to personal reasons.
Washington Capitals forward Anthony Mantha and defenseman Nick Jensen are both listed as game-time decisions for Monday's contest versus the visiting Ottawa Senators. Mantha departed Saturday's game against the Florida Panthers in the third period and did not return. Jensen left in the first period but returned in the second and finished his team's 3-2 overtime loss. "I think Mantha, good chance. Jensen, we'll see," Capitals head coach Spencer Carbery said. Mantha has recorded 18 goals and 29 points across 52 games, already surpassing the 11 goals and 27 points he put up last season. Jensen is without a goal with eight assists across 56 games on the season, blocking 85 shots in the process. He posted a career-best 29 points a season ago.
