T.J. Oshie News

Oshie has missed the last two games with a lower-body injury but was on the ice for Tuesday's morning skate. Oshie skated on the third line and did not take part in power-play drills, suggesting that he may sit out vs. the Blues. Head coach Peter Laviolette said he was unsure of his status, so consider him a game-time decision.

Oshie played just three shifts before leaving with a lower-body injury and did not return. The Capitals had the game well in hand, so keeping him out could have been precautionary. Consider him questionable to play Friday in Carolina.

Oshie was on the ice for Thursday's morning skate, which is a good sign that he will be available in New York. However, the Capitals did not update his status after the session, so consider him a game-time decision for now.

Oshie was not going to play Thursday, so moving him to IR opened up a roster spot to call Axel Jonsson-Fjallby up from the taxi squad. The move also means that he will miss Saturday's game vs. the Senators.

Oshie suffered an upper-body injury against the Islanders on Saturday and will miss his second straight game on Tuesday. Garnet Hathaway will move into the top-6 vs. the Jets.

Oshie has missed the last three games with a non-COVID illness but both he and Nicklas Backstrom are expected to be back in the lineup on Monday. Oshie, who is expected to skate on the top line with Evgeny Kuznetsov and Alex Ovechkin, has 12 points (4G / 8A) in 16 games this season.

Both Oshie and Nicklas Backstrom have been sidelined by a non-COVID illness and did not accompany the team on their two-game road trip. Moving them to IR simply creates roster spots to bring up reinforcements--they'll be eligible to be activated and play when the Capitals return home to face the Bruins on Monday.

Oshie missed the Capitals' last game while in COVID-19 protocol but is expected to play tonight vs. the Predators. Oshie, who has 11 points (4G / 7A) in 14 games this season, is expected to skate with Nicklas Backstrom and Conor Sheary.

Oshie has been out since October 27th but participated in Friday's practice and Saturday's morning skate. Both are great signs that he'll be available in San Jose, however, he remains listed as a game-time decision.

Oshie, who has been out since October 27th, was on the ice for Friday's practice and head coach Peter Laviolette said he is a "possibility" after being a full-go in the session. Oshie was back on the top power-play unit, which is a good sign that he'll be back in the lineup in San Jose.

Oshie is expected to miss multiple weeks with a lower-body injury that he suffered vs. the Red Wings on Wednesday. Moving him to IR opens up a roster spot for the Capitals to recall Brett Leason from Hershey (AHL).
