Caps team picture at FBI Academy provides update on team injuries
The Capitals were the healthiest team in the league during the 2016-17 season with only 49-man games lost due to injury. That luck had to end at some point, and it appears it has early this season.
Matt Niskanen, who is arguably the Capitals’ top defenseman, was placed on long-term injured reserved last week, while Lars Eller missed last night’s game due to the flu. Eller’s replacement, Tyler Graovac, only made it through the first period last night.
Although specifics of Niskanen and Tyler Graovac’s upper-body injuries have not been released, the Capitals team photos from the FBI Academy Wednesday may have given us the tiniest of updates.

Nazem Kadri tried, failed to injure Alex Ovechkin, Caps make him pay
Alex Ovechkin laid out Jake Gardiner in the first period with a mighty (and clean) hit. One wonders if that hit pissed off Nazem Kadri, as he did a dirty hit on Ovechkin later that period.
Ovi flipped, suffering an apparent leg injury. He stayed down.
^ That’s your nightmare scenario.

The Washington Capitals and Toronto Maple Leafs have been playing exciting run-and-gun hockey in their first round matchup, trading tough hits along the way. On Saturday night, fun hockey turned into something we never want to see.

Warning: this is tough to watch.
