Carl Hagelin reveals pupil in injured eye will never dilate again after terrifying practice injury
Amidst the Capitals’ rash of injuries this season, it would be easy to forget about Carl Hagelin, who has been out of the lineup for over a full year. He suffered a truly frightening injury during a March of 2022 practice that nearly required doctors to remove his left eye. Just as it looked like he could return, he instead went back under the knife, undergoing both arthroscopic and hip resurfacing surgery this season.
At the Capitals’ Breakdown Day on Saturday, he gave more details on recovery from the grisly eye injury, deciding on hip resurfacing, and staying positive through a four-surgery year.
