Capitals Put Connor McMichael, Matt Roy on IR as McMichael Ruled Out Through Olympic Break

Washington faces simultaneous absences across forward, defense, plus in goal, pressing AHL reinforcements into service.

Overview

  • Head coach Spencer Carbery said Connor McMichael is week-to-week with an upper-body injury and will be out through the Olympic break.
  • Matt Roy is on injured reserve but listed as day-to-day with a lower-body injury after missing the past two games.
  • McMichael exited late in Thursday’s win at Detroit and has 31 points in 55 games this season.
  • Both goaltenders are dealing with issues, with Logan Thompson day-to-day with an upper-body injury and Charlie Lindgren helped off after the shootout, so Clay Stevenson remains up from AHL Hershey.
  • Bogdan Trineyev appears on the NHL media roster as a call-up from Hershey to help cover forward depth, though the move has not been formally announced.
