Overview
- Head coach Spencer Carbery confirmed Sandin will come off injured reserve and play Wednesday night against the Blues.
- Sandin missed five games with an upper‑body injury after Oct. 21 and had been skating in a non‑contact jersey in recent days.
- On his return, he is slated for third‑pair duty with Trevor van Riemsdyk and will continue to quarterback the second power‑play unit.
- The Chychrun–Roy duo that formed during Sandin’s absence remains intact after strong five‑on‑five results reported by team observers.
- In a corresponding move, Washington placed Pierre‑Luc Dubois on injured reserve, with reports indicating he is expected to miss several weeks.
