Rasmus Sandin Hurt in Saturday's Win

Washington Capitals defenseman Rasmus Sandin injured his right leg in Saturday's 6-3 win over Pittsburgh, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports. It's unclear whether Sandin can play in Sunday's rematch between the teams. The Swedish blue-liner is attempting to post his second straight 30-point campaign. Across 72 appearances, he has managed five goals, 24 assists, 89 SOG, 127 blocks, and 87 hits. While losing Sandin for Sunday's action would be a blow for the Capitals, they have plenty of potential replacements to choose from. Dylan McIlrath, Declan Chisholm, and Timothy Liljegren are all itching to get back into the lineup after being healthy scratches for long spells.

Rasmus Sandin Back for Capitals Wednesday

Washington Capitals defenseman Rasmus Sandin (upper body) will return from a five-game absence on Wednesday against the St. Louis Blues. Sandin registered two assists, four shots, 10 blocks, and 16 hits in seven appearances before an upper-body injury sidelined him. He will join Trevor van Riemsdyk on the third defensive pairing, bumping Declan Chisholm out of the lineup. Washington is also set to use Sandin on the second power-play unit. Power-play situations might be where Sandin finds success on Wednesday night, since St. Louis has the fifth-worst penalty kill in the league at 67.6 percent.

Rasmus Sandin to Miss Third Straight Game

Washington Capitals defenseman Rasmus Sandin (upper body) stayed behind as the team traveled to Dallas on Monday. He will sit out a third straight game due to an upper-body injury on Tuesday against the Stars. On Monday, it was also announced that Sandin has been placed on Injured Reserve. He is eligible to be activated from Injured Reserve for Saturday's tilt against the New York Islanders. This season, Sandin's contributions include two assists, four shots, 10 blocks, and 16 hits in seven games. Dylan McIlrath and Declan Chisholm have featured on the Washington blue line during Sandin's absence, but they don't have fantasy value.

Rasmus Sandin Won't Play on Friday

Washington Capitals defenseman Rasmus Sandin (upper body) has been ruled out for Friday's contest against the Columbus Blue Jackets. He's nursing an upper-body injury that he suffered in Tuesday's 4-1 victory over the Seattle Kraken. On Thursday, Capitals head coach Spencer Carbery said that Sandin is considered day-to-day. In seven outings this season, Sandin has posted two assists, 10 blocks, and 16 hits. Dylan McIlrath and Declan Chisholm are the options to replace Sandin on Friday. Sandin's first chance to return will be Saturday's matchup against the Ottawa Senators.

Rasmus Sandin A Game-Time Call Friday

Washington Capitals defenseman Rasmus Sandin (upper body) will be a game-time decision for Friday's encounter with the Rangers. After missing seven games with an upper-body injury, Sandin skated in a regular jersey Friday morning, signaling that he could be ready to return to action. The Swedish blue-liner would add quality for Washington at both ends of the ice. He totaled 23 points (three goals, 20 assists) in 68 regular-season appearances and had 106 blocks with 75 hits.

Rasmus Sandin Skates In Non-Contact Jersey Monday

Washington Capitals defenseman Rasmus Sandin (upper body) skated in a non-contact jersey on Monday for the first time since suffering an upper-body injury in an April 7 contest against the Ottawa Senators. The Swede was ruled out for the remainder of the regular season following his injury, and the Caps have just two games remaining. If the Capitals qualify for the postseason, Sandin is an option for Game 1, according to head coach Spencer Carbery. "For sure," Carbery said. "First day back on the ice for him, and even [Nick Jensen] being in the facility, I think, took a positive step. Didn't skate today, but back in here and working his way back." The Capitals currently occupy the second and final wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference with 87 points but are also tied in points with the Red Wings and Flyers, who currently own the final playoff spot due to the most regulation wins between those three clubs. The Penguins sit one point behind with two games to go.

Rasmus Sandin Could Miss The Rest Of The Regular Season

Washington Capitals defenseman Rasmus Sandin (upper body) will not be available for the team's upcoming two-game road trip and could potentially miss the team's final five regular-season contests. The Swede was injured on a hit from Senators forward Parker Kelly on Sunday and did not practice with the team on Monday. "Possible, but we'll see," Capitals head coach Spencer Carbery said in regards to the possibility of Sandin missing the remainder of the regular season. "Definitely not on the road trip, not traveling." The Capitals have a crucial matchup in Detroit on Tuesday, as they sit just a single point behind the Red Wings for the second and final wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference.

Rasmus Sandin To Miss "Some Time" Following Sunday's Exit

Washington Capitals defenseman Rasmus Sandin is expected to miss "some time" after he was injured on Sunday versus Ottawa. The Swedish blue-liner suffered an upper-body injury on a hard hit from Senators forward Parker Kelly. Sandin was limited to 7:09 of ice time on Sunday. The 24-year-old went scoreless for a seventh consecutive game, but he's done a decent job helping out on offense in general, with 23 points (three goals, 20 assists) amassed across 68 games. Sandin also boasts 75 hits and 106 blocks. Washington has five more games left in the regular season.

Rasmus Sandin Inks Five-Year Extension With Capitals

The Washington Capitals and defenseman Rasmus Sandin have agreed to a five-year, $23 million contract extension. The deal comes just one day before his 24th birthday as Sandin was scheduled to be a restricted free agent at season's end. "I'm very excited," Sandin said. "I'm very happy it got done at this time too, even though we have a lot of time left to work with. But very happy it got done and very excited to be here for ultimately five more years. The Swede was acquired by the Capitals on Feb. 28, 2023 from the Toronto Maple Leafs in exchange for defenseman Erik Gustafsson and a first-round pick. He has three goals and 20 points on 66 shots across 52 games in his first full season with the Capitals.

Rasmus Sandin Expected Back On Tuesday

Washington Capitals defenseman Rasmus Sandin (upper body) has come off Injured Reserve and is set to re-enter the lineup Tuesday against Minnesota. The Swedish rearguard has been absent for eight games. Sandin has struggled to perform at his best in 2023-24, but he should still provide some extra offensive quality to the Washington team. He's gone goalless in 36 appearances but boasts 11 assists. Sandin is projected to skate with Nick Jensen on the second defensive pairing, and we should also see him with the man advantage, as Sandin has averaged 1:12 of power-play time for the season.

Rasmus Sandin Won't Play Friday Due To Illness

Washington Capitals defenseman Rasmus Sandin (illness) will not play in Friday's matchup against the Carolina Hurricanes. Sandin is the latest NHLer who has caught the nasty bug that has been spreading around the league for the last month or so, and it will force him to miss at least one game. The timing is tough for Sandin, who had just begun to get going, notching five points (five assists) in his last five games. He was a fairly popular waiver wire add this week with the Capitals playing four off-night games, so fantasy managers who have him may have to pivot elsewhere for the weekend.

Rasmus Sandin Questionable For Friday

Washington Capitals defenseman Rasmus Sandin (undisclosed) is considered questionable for Friday's action against Minnesota. He was back on the ice Friday morning after exiting Wednesday's matchup against New Jersey with an unspecified injury, but Capitals head coach Spencer Carbery said it's uncertain if Sandin will be good to go for the contest. Sandin has been logging second-pairing minutes for Washington but hasn't got anything to show for his efforts offensively so far, having gone scoreless in six games. The former Maple Leaf is also tied for the team-worst mark with a minus-four rating.

Rasmus Sandin Injured On Wednesday

Washington Capitals defenseman Rasmus Sandin left Wednesday's 6-4 win over New Jersey early after sustaining an undisclosed injury. He logged 17:43 of ice time in the contest, leaving after taking a big hit from Devils defenseman Jonas Siegenthaler. Sadin has been quiet to start the year, and an injury layoff would be a further blow for him. He has gone scoreless in six games, registering a plus-minus rating on Washington's second defensive pairing. The Swedish blue-liner has also been part of the second power-play unit, meaning Capitals head coach Spencer Carbery will be forced into quite significant changes if Sandin needs to skip some games.

Rasmus Sandin Debuts For Washington With Three Assists

Washington Capitals defenseman Rasmus Sandin had a dream debut for the team on Saturday against San Jose, helping out with three assists in an 8-3 win. Craig Smith, T.J. Oshie and Alex Ovechkin benefited from Sandin's work, with Oshie scoring on the power play. The former Maple Leaf became the first Capitals defenseman to notch three points in his debut and only the seventh skater in total. Sandin, who also had one block and three hits in the game, logged 21:40 of ice time, leading all Capitals blue-liners with 2:55 of power-play time. He looks set for a big finish to the campaign, especially if John Carlson (face) can't return.
