Finds twine in win Milano scored a goal and added two PIM in Wednesday's 7-1 win over the Sharks.

Impact Milano has done well for himself lately with three goals and two assists over nine consecutive games in the lineup. The 29-year-old might be at risk of being a healthy scratch once Justin Sourdif (lower body) is ready to play again, especially now that Nic Dowd has returned from an upper-body injury. On the year, Milano has four goals, two assists, 22 shots on net and a plus-2 rating through 17 appearances.

Two goals Thursday including winner Milano scored two goals, one on the game-winner, in Thursday's 8-4 victory over Montreal.

Impact The 29-year-old winger potted the Caps' fifth and eighth goals of the night, as he produced his first multi-goal performance since late in the 2023-24 regular season. Milano remains a talented enigma, delivering three goals for his only points in 10 games this season while mainly being stuck on the fourth line.

Nets first goal Milano scored a goal in Saturday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Sabres.

Impact Milano's twine finder was his first score since the 2023-24 season. In doing so, he tied the game at three goals apiece to eventually force overtime. After missing the majority of last season with an upper-body injury, Milano's goal was a welcome sight for Capitals fans. In 2023-24, Milano posted 15 goals in 49 games, and if he can return to a fraction of that goal-scoring pace, he could earn more playing time moving forward.

Good for Thursday Milano (upper body) will draw into the lineup for Thursday's preseason game against Boston.

Impact Milano had no points and four shots in three regular-season outings with Washington in 2024-25. Although he might make the Capitals' regular-season roster, Milano would probably spend the bulk of the campaign as a healthy scratch in that scenario.

Won't play Tuesday Milano (upper body) will not be in action versus Columbus on Tuesday.

Impact Milano played in just three regular-season games for the Caps last year and a mere 49 contests the year before. As such, perhaps it's not surprising to see the 29-year-old winger once again dealing with an injury. With Milano entering the final year of his three-year deal signed back in February of 2023, he'll need to prove he can stay healthy for a full campaign if he wants to earn another NHL contract.

Absent from practice Milano (upper body) didn't participate in Monday's practice, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports.

Impact Milano's injury isn't related to the one that limited him to three appearances last season, but the Capitals will probably be cautious with his recovery. If it's a minor issue, the 29-year-old forward could be back in the lineup at some point before the start of the regular season.

Working with teammates Milano (upper body) participated in Monday's informal skate ahead of training camp, Tarik El-Bashir of Monumental Sports Network reports.

Impact Milano was expected to be ready in time for the start of training camp, and that certainly seems to be the case. Considering the 29-year-old winger has played in just 52 regular-season games over the last two years, fantasy players may want to take a cautious approach to utilizing him in season-long formats. Still, when healthy, Milano could push for a middle-six role while offering decent fantasy upside.

Likely to be ready at training camp Milano (upper body) is feeling good and is expected to be ready for training camp in September, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports Saturday.

Impact Milano suffered the injury in early November and missed the remainder of the season. The 29-year-old played in only three regular-season games and was unable to hit the scoresheet. Milano suffered a "significant setback" in early March, but he seems to have recovered and is expected to challenge for a role as a bottom-six forward in training camp.

Suffers setback in recovery General manager Chris Patrick said Friday that Milano (upper body) recently sustained a "significant setback" in his recovery, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports.

Impact Milano has been sidelined since early November due to his upper-body injury, and the Capitals are still working to determine the next steps in his recovery process following his setback. He had resumed skating in a non-contact sweater in mid-January, but it certainly seems possible that his setback could keep him sidelined for the remainder of the regular season.

Practices Wednesday Milano (upper body) took part in Wednesday's practice, though he was wearing a non-contact jersey, per Tom Gulitti of NHL.com.

Impact Milano shouldn't be expected to return to the Capitals' lineup until he starts taking contact, but he's making progress. He has no points, four shots and a hit in three appearances with Washington in 2024-25. Milano should be in the mix for a fourth-line spot once he's healthy.

Return not imminent Milano (upper body) is not expected back in the short term after head coach Spencer Carbery told reporters Friday, "It's still a ways away from him getting into games. He's been ou...

Impact Milano has been on the shelf since Nov. 6 versus the Predators, a stretch of 29 games out of the lineup. Even once cleared to return, Milano is far from a lock to play on a nightly basis and will likely need to compete with Jakub Vrana for a spot in the lineup. Given his uncertain return to action and inability to firmly cement himself in the lineup, fantasy players probably should be looking at alternative depth options.

JANUARY 10, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Participates in morning skate Milano (upper body) joined the Capitals for Wednesday's morning skate, though he didn't take contact, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports.

Impact Milano not being ready to take contact suggests he's still not close to returning, but this is still an important step in the right direction. The 28-year-old hasn't played since Nov. 6 because of the injury. When healthy, Milano will likely serve as a depth forward for Washington, shifting between the bottom six and press box.
