@Tarik_ElBashir Sandin is officially TBD for tonight, per Carbery. I suspect he’s likely to play since Haman Aktell and Johansen are taking the scratches’ skate. #Caps https://t.co/opoZH21F0H

@TomGulittiNHL Rasmus Sandin is on the ice for the Capitals morning skate today after leaving in third period of game in New Jersey on Wednesday after hit from Jonas Siegenthaler.

@Capitals_THN Lindgren is taking part in the morning skate. Good sign for the Capitals.

@TomGulittiNHL Capitals have essentially cut down to nine forwards this period. Malenstyn, Protas and Phillips have gotten one shift each.

@ByMattWeyrich The Capitals have posted a 4.4% shooting percentage so far this year, their lowest ever through their first five games of a season and just the third time they've been held under 7%, per @Sportradar. League average is 10%. Some historically bad puck luck playing a role here.
— NHL Game Day Stats (@GameDayStatsNHL) Oct 25, 2023
@CapitalsPR Ovechkin has scored 10.0 percent of the power-play goals in franchise history. That's the third-highest percentage in NHL history among players with at least 40 power-play goals with one franchise (Teemu Selanne, Anaheim: 12.20%; Steven Stamkos. Tampa Bay: 11.56%).

@TomGulittiNHL PPG No. 300 of his career. Goal No. 823 of his career.
— NHL Game Day Stats (@GameDayStatsNHL) Oct 24, 2023
@TomGulittiNHL Capitals have allowed at least one PPG in each of their four games.
— NHL Game Day Stats (@GameDayStatsNHL) Oct 21, 2023
@TomGulittiNHL Some context on this incredible streak that ended, from our great people at #NHLStats
Ovechkin's 1,349 games from the start of his career without going consecutive games without a SOG is the longest in NHL history (since 1959-60), exceeding Marcel Dionne in second with 1,342. https://t.co/o3E1IwXd4y

@TomGulittiNHL Ovechkin goes without a goal in first 3 games for 2nd straight season and 3rd time in his career. He finished with 42 goals last season.
The longest Ovechkin went before scoring his 1st goal was 2012-13, when he went the first four games without. Led NHL in goals that season.
— NHL Game Day Stats (@GameDayStatsNHL) Oct 18, 2023
@TomGulittiNHL Ovechkin has yet to register a shot on goal tonight after not getting any against Calgary on Monday. He's had four attempts blocked.
— NHL Game Day Stats (@GameDayStatsNHL) Oct 18, 2023
@sammisilber Nothing on that Caps power play. Has yet to convert this season.

@CapitalsPR INJURY UPDATE: #Caps Nic Dowd will not play tonight versus Ottawa (upper body).
— NHL Game Day News (@GameDayNewsNHL) Oct 18, 2023
@BaileyAJohnson_ Spencer Carbery said the Caps have some “injury stuff” they’re working through and didn’t confirm the lineup for tonight’s game in Ottawa. Both John Carlson and Nic Dowd, who took maintenance days yesterday, skated this morning
— NHL Game Day News (@GameDayNewsNHL) Oct 18, 2023
@ByMattWeyrich John Carlson and Nic Dowd both taking maintenance days today, per Capitals PR. Charlie Lindgren has an upper-body injury. https://t.co/Sqg2O7yn31

@Tarik_ElBashir Johansen and Mantha took the scratches' skate, btw. #Caps

@CapitalsPR #Caps have made the following transactions. The team will make additional corresponding moves before announcing their Opening Night roster on Wednesday at 9 a.m. https://t.co/T3Bmqmegx9
@JaredSerre Capitals' Joel Edmundson underwent surgery today to stabilize his fractured hand. He'll be out 4-6 weeks, which at a minimum is the first three games of the regular season.
— NHL Game Day News (@GameDayNewsNHL) Sep 27, 2023
"I’m trying not to get a date or something because I just know it’s going to be a process. So, whether that’s mid-November, late November, mid-December, sort of as it gets closer, I think then we’ll kind of figure out a target date.”
— NHL Game Day News (@GameDayNewsNHL) Sep 26, 2023
@Tarik_ElBashir Joel Edmundson won’t skate today and is out with an upper body injury that he sustained during Sunday’s scrimmage. The Dman is meeting with the medical team today to determine the severity of the injury. #Caps
— NHL Game Day News (@GameDayNewsNHL) Sep 26, 2023
@JaredSerre Capitals defensive update:- Trevor van Riemsdyk will skate today after leaving Sunday’s game. - Joel Edmundson won’t skate today after suffering an upper body injury during Sunday’s scrimmage.

@sammisilber Carbery said pairing Ovechkin & Backstrom together was to start them with familiarity as they adjust to new systems. Said a lot more combos will get a look:
"There's a method to the madness."

@ByMattWeyrich Evgeny Kuznetsov says he’s dealing with a lower-body injury that cropped up over the summer. It’s not something he expects to limit him in camp or prevent him from skating but they will monitor it moving forward.
— NHL Game Day News (@GameDayNewsNHL) Sep 21, 2023
@ByMattWeyrich Capitals GM Brian MacLellan says there’s “no concrete timetable” for when Max Pacioretty will be ready to return from his torn Achilles. He’s undergoing treatments this week and the team expects to get a better idea of his timeline after.
— NHL Game Day News (@GameDayNewsNHL) Sep 21, 2023
@ByMattWeyrich Capitals center Evgeny Kuznetsov has posted four 20-goal, 50-assist seasons since 2015-16. Only five players have more over that span:
Connor McDavid (7) Leon Draisaitl (5) Nathan MacKinnon (5) Patrick Kane (5) Artemi Panarin (5)
— NHL Game Day Stats (@GameDayStatsNHL) Sep 7, 2023
@JaredSerre New Capitals winger Max Pacioretty says he doesn't think he'll be ready for the start of the season, but it shouldn't be not too long after that when he returns to the ice. https://t.co/jn94E9UTPk
@frank_seravalli Hearing Max Pacioretty is going to #AllCaps: 1 year x $2 million plus another $2 million to earn in potential bonuses.@DailyFaceoff @CapFriendly
@ByMattWeyrich Pulled these numbers for a story today. Alex Ovechkin's durability has been nothing short of historic. Just 56 regular-season games missed across 18 NHL seasons. A big component to his legacy. https://t.co/JBmsowp3Eb
