The Washington Capitals will be without Rasmus Sandin for the rest of their game against the Ottawa Senators.
The Swedish defenseman was injured toward the tail end of the first period after absorbing a big hit from Senators forward Parker Kelly.
Sandin had his right shoulder jammed hard into the boards before falling to the ice. Sandin skated off under his own power to the bench, but he did not return to the ice for the second period.
Capitals PR announced Sandin’s injury was upper-body in nature and he would not return.

Update: Spencer Carbery said postgame that Sandin would “miss some time” due to the injury.
