Longterm options to potentially replace Martin Fehervary in the Capitals lineup

Martin Fehervary became the latest Capitals player to suffer what appears to be a significant injury in the team’s 5-2 loss to the Calgary Flames on Saturday.

Fehervary was injured in the second period of the game after a Milan Lucic bodycheck. Fehervary’s arm absorbed the brunt of the hit and he was seen sporting a sling on that arm postgame.

If Fehervary is out longterm, who exactly will the team choose to fill in for him? Let’s take a closer look at some of the options they have currently in their organization.

Hendrix Lapierre snubbed from Canada’s World Junior Championship team

One of the reasons why the Washington Capitals sent Hendrix Lapierre back to junior this season, beyond a lack of playing time, was so that he could play on Team Canada’s 2022 World Junior Championship team.

“It’s a lot for a young player to I think to handle the NHL and the league itself,” Laviolette said in November right after the transaction was announced. “So we sent him back to juniors where he can play against his peers and who knows what happens from here, whether he gets a chance to play in the World Championships and whether he gets a chance to play in playoffs. If all those things could happen, you think about his year and it’s really in a great spot.”

Lapierre, however, will not get an opportunity to play for Team Canada as he was a surprise snub from the team. Lappy was one of nine players cut from the team’s selection camp on Sunday. Capitals defense prospect Vincent Iorio will also not suit up for the team.
