T.J. Oshie Sustains A Lower-Body Injury
2 years agoWashington Capitals forward T.J. Oshie was forced to exit Saturday's 3-0 win over Nashville early because of a lower-body injury. He seemed to have pulled something chasing the puck in the offensive zone during only his second shift of the game. The team hasn't yet provided an update on Oshie's status, but it sure looks like he will have to spend some time on the sidelines. Oshie's form hasn't been too great early in the season, with the veteran sitting on five points, but he is a big piece for Washington's offense and the team's frontline is already without a number of key contributors, so he'll be a massive miss. Anthony Mantha should jump back into the Capitals top six if Oshie is unable to play. The team will have a busy start to next week as a back-to-back set starts on Monday against Carolina.
