Rasmus Sandin News
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 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.
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.
