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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Impact Sandin extended Washington's lead to 2-0 early in the first period, working his way into the slot before beating Mackenzie Blackwood with a one-timer. Sandin also logged nine penalty minutes in the contest, including a fighting major after a scrap with Curtis Lazar in the second. The 23-year-old Sandin finishes the year with 35 points (seven goals, 28 assists), with 15 coming in 19 games with Washington following a deadline trade from Toronto. With the Capitals likely rebuilding in 2023-24, Sandin figures to play a sizeable role on the blueline.
