Anthony Mantha Could Return Saturday
1 year agoWashington Capitals forward Anthony Mantha could return to the lineup on Saturday after missing the last three games with a ruptured ear drum suffered in a Nov. 8 overtime loss versus the Florida Panthers. The veteran said he needed four-to-five stitches in his ear and further testing at the hospital ruled out any further damage. It's been an uneven season for the former first-round pick who has notched three goals and four points in 10 games while seeing his ice time dip to just 12:43 per game, far below his 16:33 career average. It's unclear where he will slot in upon his return but he remains on the outside of the fantasy picture looking in on a Capitals team that ranks 30th in overall offense.
