Overview

  • Both Injured Reserve moves were made retroactive to Dec. 5, making Dec. 12 the first day either player can be activated.
  • Coach Spencer Carbery said Ryan Leonard suffered an upper-body injury on a hit from Jacob Trouba and will be out for an extended period.
  • Tom Wilson voiced frustration over the play, saying Trouba "knows exactly what he was doing."
  • Carbery said Charlie Lindgren’s upper-body injury is not considered significant, but he remains out as Clay Stevenson steps onto the NHL roster in his place.
  • Bogdan Trineyev returns after a previous recall without making his debut and has 12 points in 16 AHL games; Washington used an emergency PTO for Parker Milner to back up on Friday.
