Ovechkin's Injury Update, Miroshnichenko's Call-Up, and Milano's Setback: A Capitals Roundup

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.   Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!IndeedStill searching for a great candidate for your company? Don’t search, just match–with Indeed. Claim your SEVENTY-FIVE DOLLAR CREDIT now at Indeed.com/LOCKEDON.
