T.J. Oshie News

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 () will play Sunday in Pittsburgh.

Oshie (concussion) is expected to return to the Capitals lineup on Tuesday.

Oshie was a full participant in Monday’s practice and it looks like he’ll be back in tonight after a six-game absence. Oshie, who has 10 goals and 13 assists (23 points) in 28 games this season, will play on the second line with Jakub Vrana and Evgeny Kuznetsov.

Oshie left Monday’s game with an upper-body injury and did not return.

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.
