Nets goal in loss Sandin scored a goal on three shots, blocked four shots and added two hits in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Penguins.

Impact Sandin brought the Capitals back within a goal at 14:55 of the second period. The 25-year-old has a goal and an assist over two games since returning from an upper-body injury, so it looks like he's back to 100 percent. He offers decent category coverage in fantasy when his offense is rolling, but he's unlikely to stand out in any one area. Sandin has four points, seven shots on net, 18 hits, 15 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating through nine appearances.

Earns helper in return Sandin registered an assist in Wednesday's 6-1 win over the Blues.

Impact Sandin missed five games due to an upper-body injury before returning Wednesday. He was a little sheltered with just 16:58 of ice time, but the Capitals can afford to manage his minutes with the strength of their blue line. The 25-year-old has three helpers, four shots on net, 16 hits, 11 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating over eight appearances.

Good to return Sandin (upper body) is set to make his return against St. Louis on Wednesday, per Tarik El-Bashir of Monumental Sports Network.

Impact Sandin will be activated off injured reserve to accommodate his return. He has two assists, four shots, 16 hits and 10 blocks in seven appearances this season. After missing Washington's past five games, Sandin is likely to serve on the third pairing and receive some power-play ice time Wednesday. Declan Chisholm is projected to be a healthy scratch as a result of Sandin's return.

Won't travel to Big D Sandin (upper body) will not make the trip for Tuesday's road clash with the Stars, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports.

Impact Sandin will miss his third straight game due to his lingering upper-body issue. Prior to getting hurt, the 25-year-old blueliner was still looking for his first goal of the season, though he's registered only four shots in seven games, which doesn't make it easy for him to find the back of the net.

Remains out Saturday Sandin (upper body) won't play Saturday versus Ottawa, per Sammi Silber of The Hockey News.

Impact Sandin also missed Friday's 5-1 win over Columbus. He has two assists in seven appearances this year. His next opportunity to play will come Tuesday in Dallas.

Won't play Friday Sandin (upper body) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Blue Jackets, Tarik El-Bashir of Monumental Sports Network reports.

Impact Sandin is considered day-to-day due to his upper-body injury, and while he isn't expected to have a lengthy absence, he won't travel with the Capitals ahead of Friday's matchup in Columbus. Whether he'll be available for Saturday's home game against the Senators remains to be seen.

OCTOBER 23 • ROTOWIRE

Managing upper-body injury Sandin didn't participate in Thursday's practice session due to an upper-body injury, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports.

Impact Sandin logged a season-low 15:01 of ice time during Tuesday's 4-1 win over Seattle, and he's apparently dealing with an injury afterward. The Capitals have an upcoming back-to-back set, and it's not yet clear whether Sandin will be available Friday against the Blue Jackets or Saturday against the Senators. If Sandin is held out of game action, Declan Chisholm and Dylan McIlrath are candidates to enter the lineup.

OCTOBER 23 • ROTOWIRE

Adds assist Friday Sandin notched an assist and two hits in Friday's 5-1 win over the Wild.

Impact The helper was Sandin's first point in five games this season. His ice time has been up early -- he's averaging 19:45 per game so far, 34 seconds better than last year when he put up a career-high 30 points in 82 regular-season outings. This year, he's produced two shots on net, 11 hits, seven blocked shots and a plus-2 rating. He's never been a high-volume shooter from the blue line, which could inhibit his scoring production.
