T.J. Oshie News
Washington Capitals forwards T.J. Oshie and Aliaksei Protas will both remain sidelined for Friday's game against the visiting Carolina Hurricanes. Both players skated on Friday morning but will both once again sit out as they did for Wednesday's 7-3 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs. The oft-injured Oshie has once again dealt with injuries this season, skating in just 43 games with 11 goals and 19 points on 81 shots on goal in that time. The veteran has played in 58 games or fewer in four straight seasons. Protas, 23, has recorded five goals and 28 points across 65 games as part of his 13:24 of average ice time per game. He has added 90 shots on goal and has a minus-three rating on the campaign.
Washington Capitals forward T.J. Oshie is a game-time decision for Saturday's road game against the Vancouver Canucks. The veteran recently missed a seven-game stretch due to an upper-body injury and left Saturday's morning skate early with an undisclosed ailment. The 37-year-old is enduring a down season offensively with 11 goals and 19 points across 41 games on the season while managing just 77 shots on goal in that time. He is just one game shy of the 1,000 games played mark as he has 301 goals and 689 points in his 999 career games to this point. The Capitals enter Saturday's contest sitting fifth in the Metropolitan Division with a 31-25-9 record, three points back of the Red Wings for the second Wild Card spot in the Eastern Conference despite sporting a -31 goal differential, good for 27th in the NHL.
Washington Capitals forward T.J. Oshie is listed as week-to-week with an upper-body injury. The veteran departed a contest on Feb. 22 against the Tampa Bay Lightning and did not dress for Saturday's overtime loss to the Florida Panthers. "Obviously left the game and we'll continue to monitor him," Capitals head coach Spencer Carbery said. "I don't think this is a skating today or tomorrow situation, but I don't want to tell you anything definitive on timeline or anything like that. We'll just continue to monitor him." It's been a down season offensively for the 37-year-old as he has tallied 10 goals and 18 points across 38 games. The Capitals' overall offense has also dipped this season as they sit fifth in the Metropolitan Division with a 26-21-9 record.
Washington Capitals right wing T.J. Oshie (lower body) won't play on Saturday against Florida. The veteran suffered a non-contact injury against Tampa Bay on Thursday, and this might be the start of a lengthy absence for him. After slumping through most of the campaign, Oshie has sparked into life in recent weeks, averaging close to a point per game over his last 16 appearances. He has scored 10 goals this season and sits on 18 points through 38 appearances. The team has recalled Hendrix Lapierre from the AHL as Oshie's potential replacement in the lineup. The 22-year-old has played in 25 NHL games this season, posting two goals and five assists.
