Ovechkin’s Injury Update, Miroshnichenko’s Call-Up, and Milano’s Setback
In this edition of the Locked on Capitals Podcast Dan discusses significant updates regarding the Washington Capitals, particularly focusing on the injury of captain Alex Ovechkin, who is out week-to-week with a knee-on-knee injury sustained during a game against the Utah Hockey Club. In light of Ovechkin’s absence, the team has called up Ivan Miroshnichenko from the Hershey Bears, where he has been performing exceptionally with 14 points in 16 games. Additionally, Sonny Milano has been placed on long-term injured reserve due to an upper-body injury, freeing up salary cap space for the team. Coach Spencer Carbery expressed sympathy for Milano, showing the team’s support during these challenges. Despite Ovechkin’s injury, the Capitals remain strong in the standings, averaging the highest goals per game in the NHL.

Might be MCL, I kind of think it might be Fibula Bone
It’s going to be interesting how the team responds after this, going to be a tough few games coming up like Colorado, New Jersey and Florida
I think the team will be fine without him and it gives Miro another chance.
To me week to week means they reevaluate him weekly
I was thinking knee, as it bent a bit sideways. But they said lower leg. Looking at the video, the ankle bent a bit sideways too so it could be that.
But I have no idea like everyone else.
I believe Vrana and Eller will set up with Protas and Strome.
Mcbain or WTV his name is a 🤡😡
