Rasmus Sandin - Page 4 - NHL News & Rumors

Dishes helper Sandin registered an assist and three blocked shots during Monday's 5-2 win over the Flames.

Impact Sandin had gone six games without a point prior to Monday's helper, which gives him a new career-high of 21 points in 59 games this season. Having recently signed a five-year, $23 million contract extension, the 24-year-old will be a mainstay in Washington's defense corps for years to come.

The Washington Capitals have re-signed defenseman Rasmus Sandin to a five-year contract worth $23 million

Agrees to five-year extension Sandin signed a five-year, $23 million contract extension Wednesday.

Impact That represents a sizable raise over Sandin's existing two-year, $2.8 million deal. He was eligible to become a restricted free agent with arbitration rights this summer. Sandin has three goals, 20 points, 57 hits and 85 blocks in 52 contests while averaging 21:19 of ice time this season. The 23-year-old has more offensive upside than he's demonstrated this year -- he finished the 2022-23 campaign with seven goals and 35 points in 71 outings between Toronto and Washington.

Poised to play Sandin (undisclosed) is expected to play Sunday versus the Coyotes, according to Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post.

Impact Sandin appears to be good to go after missing Saturday's practice and being considered a game-time decision. He has picked up 13 of his 19 points this season over his past 20 appearances. Sandin also has 66 shots on goal, 83 blocked shots and 56 hits across 51 contests this campaign.

MARCH 3, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable Sunday Sandin (undisclosed) is questionable for Sunday's matinee against the Coyotes, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports.

Impact Sandin took part in Saturday's optional skate, but isn't a lock to take on the Coyotes. Ethan Bear is likely to draw in should Sandin - who has three goals and eight points in his last 15 games- be unable to go.

Adds helper in overtime loss Sandin recorded an assist and three shots on goal in Sunday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Canucks.

Impact Sandin's offense is starting to come around -- he has two goals and two assists over his last five games. The 23-year-old defenseman helped out on Nic Dowd's tally in the first period. Sandin has 15 points, 55 shots on net, 73 blocked shots, 44 hits and a minus-10 rating over 43 contests this season. He's still in a top-four role with power-play time, but Sandin will play second fiddle on the blue line as long as John Carlson is in the Capitals' lineup.

Good to go Sandin (upper body) will be activated from injured reserve ahead of his return to the lineup Tuesday against Minnesota, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports.

Impact Sandin, who has missed the past eight games, is slated to be with Trevor van Riemsdyk in his return to the lineup. The 23-year-old Sandin should also see time on the second power-play unit. He has 11 assists, 45 shots on goal, 65 blocked shots and 34 hits in 36 games this season. Ethan Bear and Alexander Alexeyev are expected to be healthy scratches for Tuesday's contest.

In regular jersey at practice Sandin (upper body) is practicing in a regular jersey Thursday, per Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post.

Impact Sandin has missed the last six games and this is the first time since rejoining practice a week ago, that he has been able to shed his non-contact jersey. Sandin had five assists in his last five games before the injury, giving the defenseman 11 assists in 36 games. Should Sandin play Thursday versus St. Louis, he could replace Joel Edmundson in the lineup and see second-unit power-play time in place of Ethan Bear.

Practicing in non-contact jersey Sandin (upper body) practiced in a non-contact jersey Friday, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports.

Impact Sandin was injured Jan. 3 and is eligible to return to action off injured reserve at any time. Sandin has yet to score this season after lighting the lamp seven times last year, but he does have 11 assists in 36 games. Look for Joel Edmundson to become the seventh defenseman, upon the return of Sandin to the lineup.

JANUARY 12, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

On injured reserve Sandin (upper body) was put on injured reserve Thursday, per Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post.

Impact Sandin last played Jan. 3, so the move can be retroactive to that date, which means the defenseman can be activated whenever he's healthy. The 23-year-old has 11 assists, 34 hits and 65 blocks in 36 outings in 2023-24. When Sandin is ready to return, Joel Edmundson might serve as a healthy scratch.

Still sidelined Thursday Sandin (upper body) will not be in the lineup versus Seattle on Thursday, Tarik El-Bashir of Monumental Sports Network reports.

Impact Sandin will be shelved for his third consecutive game due to his upper-body problem. While the blueliner has yet to score a goal this season, he was finding his offensive stride before getting hurt with five helpers in his last five contests, including a pair of power-play helpers.

Dealing with upper-body issue Sandin, who missed Sunday's win over LA due to an illness, is now considered day-to-day with an upper-body injury, Tarik El-Bashir of Monumental Sports Network reports.

Impact Sandin should be considered questionable for Thursday's game versus Seattle. He was on a roll prior to missing the last two games due to an illness, picking up five helpers through his last five games.

JANUARY 9, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Sunday Sandin (illness) didn't practice Saturday and will miss Sunday's game versus the Kings, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports.

Impact Sandin will miss a second game with an illness after he sat out Friday in a loss to the Hurricanes. The 23-year-old blueliner has 11 assists and a minus-8 rating through 36 games this season. Ethan Bear will likely continue to work on the second defensive pairing and power-play unit while Sandin is sidelined.

JANUARY 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Doubtful Friday Sandin (illness) was not at practice Friday, per Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post.

Impact Sandin's spot at practice was taken by Ethan Bear, who also replaced him on the second power play. Sandin exploded offensively for the Capitals last season after his trade from Toronto, scoring three times and adding 12 assists in 19 games. He has not had the same offensive luck this season, picking up 11 assists in 36 games.

JANUARY 5, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Two helpers in Tuesday's win Sandin collected two assists, one on the power play, in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Penguins.

Impact All of Washington's scoring came in the first period, as the team grabbed a 4-0 lead that it nearly squandered. Sandin had just one point, a helper, through the first 11 games in December, but he's found a bit of a groove with four assists in the last four contests. The 23-year-old blueliner is still looking for his first goal of the season however, and he's managed a paltry 10 points in 35 games.

JANUARY 3, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Ends drought with helper Sandin logged an assist and went plus-2 in Thursday's 5-4 win over the Ducks.

Impact Sandin had been held off the scoresheet in five straight games entering Thursday. He ended the slump by setting up Nic Dowd's first-period tally. Sandin was a popular breakout candidate at the start of the year, but he's fallen flat with five helpers, 27 shots on net, 44 blocked shots, 18 hits and a plus-4 rating over 20 outings this season. While the offense isn't all there yet, he's still in a top-four role.

DECEMBER 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Bouncing back offensively Sandin supplied an assist and four blocked shots in Friday's 4-2 win over the Devils.

Impact Sandin has two assists over the last three games, which qualifies as a sudden surge considering he was held without a point in all eight October contests. The Capitals are sending Sandin to the ice in the offensive zone 62.4 percent of the time, plus he's hanging onto a No. 2 power-play spot, so he may be able to keep it going offensively in the near term. Sandin also has 11 hits and 27 blocked shots through 12 games.

NOVEMBER 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Good to go Friday Sandin (undisclosed) will be in Friday's lineup against the Wild, Tarik El-Bashir of Monumental Sports Network reports.

Impact Sandin suffered a minor injury Wednesday against the Devils but he won't miss any action because of it. The 23-year-old blueliner is still searching for his first point of the season -- through six games, he has just five shots on goal with a minus-4 rating.

OCTOBER 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Game-time decision Friday Sandin (undisclosed) is a game-time decision Friday against the Wild, Tarik El-Bashir of Monumental Sports Network reports.

Impact Sandin left in the third period of Wednesday's 6-4 win over New Jersey after taking a hit from Devils defenseman Jonas Siegenthaler. The 23-year-old Sandin's availability will be clarified prior to puck drop, but he did take part in the full morning skate alongside Trevor Van Riemsdyk, so even if Sandin is held out Friday, his absence likely won't last long.

OCTOBER 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Exits Wednesday's contest Sandin (undisclosed) will not return to Wednesday's game versus the Devils, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports.

Impact Sandin took a big hit from Jonas Siegenthaler in the third period. The nature of Sandin's injury was not revealed prior to the end of the game. If Sandin misses time, Hardy Haman-Aktell or Lucas Johansen could be options to enter the lineup, while Alexander Alexeyev or Nick Jensen would likely see top-four minutes.
