Sandin (upper body) will not travel with Washington for their two-game upcoming road trip and is out indefinitely.

Sandin played only 7:09 of ice time before exiting Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Ottawa Senators with an upper-body injury. The 24-year-old Sandin has struggled lately, mirroring a Capitals' six-game losing skid, with zero points in his last seven contests.

Washington signed Sandin to a five-year, $23 million contract extension ($4,600,000 AAV).

Sandin was acquired via trade from the Toronto Maple Leafs last year and has provided a secondary offensive punch from the Capitals' blueline in his first full season with the club. He currently has five points (1G / 4A) in his last seven games and will be signed with the Capitals until the end of the 2028-29 campaign.

Sandin (upper body) will return to the Capitals' lineup Tuesday after an eight game absence.

Sandin will play his first game since January 3rd, joining Trevor van Riemsdyk as Capitals' blueliners making their return to the lineup on Tuesday. Sandin was on a hot streak before his injury, scoring five points (0G / 5A) in his last five games. Ethan Bear and Alexander Alexeyev are expected to be healthy scratches on Tuesday.

Sandin (undisclosed) is on the ice for warmups and is expected to play in Friday's game against the Wild.

Sandin was a game-time decision for Friday's game against the Wild after exiting the Washington's Wednesday night matchup against the New Jersey Devils in the third period with an undisclosed injury. The Swedish defenseman has been held without a point in his first six games and has a -4 rating.

Sandin (visa issues) is expected to make his Capitals debut in San Jose on Saturday.

Sandin was acquired from the Maple Leafs on Tuesday in exchange for Erik Gustafsson and a 2023 first-round pick. The 22-year-old was selected 29th overall by the Maple Leafs in the 2018 NHL Entry Draft. He registered ten goals and 38 assists across 140 career games with the Leafs. His offensive production could see a boost in Washington if he's able to get some ice time with Alexander Ovechkin on the Caps' top power-play unit.

Rasmus Sandin
Sandin (upper-body) will remain out of the Maple Leafs lineup on Friday.

Sandin missed the Maple Leafs' previous game due to an upper-body injury and will also be forced to miss Friday vs. Minnesota. The defenseman has four goals, 16 assists, 57 SOG, 23 PIMs and a +8 plus/minus through 51 games this season. Sandin just tied his career high in games played in a season and hopes to pass that mark the next time he draws back into the Maple Leafs' lineup.
