Oshie is being evaluated for a possible concussion.

Oshie was forced to leave Monday’s game in Winnipeg after a heavy collision in the corner with Jets’ defenseman Josh Morrissey. Oshie’s head was driven to the ice after the hit and he came up a bit woozy. Oshie has four reported concussions in his career, so the Capitals will be very cautious with the winger. Oshie is questionable at the very least for Friday’s game in Colorado.

Oshie signed an eight-year, $46M ($5.75M AAV) contract extension on Friday.

In 2016-17, Oshie set a new career-high with 33 goals despite missing 14 games with a pair of upper-body injuries. Oshie tied for the team-lead in goals and ranked fifth in points (56), making it the fifth straight (full 82 game) season that he has topped 50 points. The American-born winger will turn 31-years-old in December, so the Capitals have him locked up at $5.75M per season until he is 39, which is quite an investment.

Oshie (upper-body) will return to the Capitals' lineup on Saturday.

Oshie has missed the last four games with an upper-body injury, but will return to the lineup against the Flyers on Saturday. Oshie was hurt against the Flyers on February 22nd, but will be back with Alex Ovechkin and Nicklas Backstrom on the top line tonight. Oshie had a great month of February before getting hurt, recording six goals and five assists (11 points) in nine games.

Oshie left Saturday’s game with an upper-body injury; will be re-evaluated on Sunday.

Oshie (upper-body) returned to the ice for practice on Monday.

Oshie has missed the last four games with an upper-body injury, but he was back on the ice for Monday’s practice, which is a good sign for Oshie moving forward. Oshie didn’t have a timetable for his return, but practicing is a good sign that he’ll be back later this week.
