The Washington Capitals will be without T.J. Oshie due to a lower-body injury keeping him out on a week-to-week basis. 



Oshie blocked a shot off his right foot Wednesday night against the Detroit Red Wings and limped to the bench afterwards. He didn’t miss any shifts. 



According to The Athletic’s Tarik El-Bashir, Oshie is in a walking boot and on crutches.
