Rob Rossi: Evgeni Malkin disagrees, but TJ Oshie draws... - The Athletic Evgeni Malkin disagrees, but TJ Oshie draws penalty in OT. First OT power play it season for Capitals.
Takes morning skate Oshie (personal) skated on the top line during the morning skate in advance of Thursday's showdown with the Penguins, Samantha Pell of The Washington Post reports.
Impact Oshie missed Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Avalanche to be present for the birth of his fourth child but his presence alongside Alex Ovechkin and Dylan Strome during the morning skate indicates he will be returning for Thursday's home game against rival Pittsburgh. The 36-year-old has five goals and six points in his last 10 games -- and his fantasy appeal gets a boost as long as he's playing with such talented linemates at even strength.

Heads back home Oshie left the team's road trip for the birth of his child and won't be available against Colorado on Tuesday, Samantha Pell of The Washington Post reports.
Impact Oshie has been rolling of late with five goals and one assist in 10 games since returning from an upper-body injury. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Oshie should be available to play when Washington returns home to face Pittsburgh on Thursday. In the meantime, Alexei Protas should step into the lineup in Oshie's absence.

T.J. Oshie's back has long been a concern. He's trying not to think about it. “I am not thinking about my back or what I have to do for it,” T.J. Oshie said. “I just play and I have fun out there playing.”

Dmitry Orlov scored at 4:27 of overtime as the Washington Capitals rallied from three goals down to down to beat the New York Islanders 4-3JANUARY 16 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Key role in comeback win Oshie scored a goal on three shots, added an assist, logged four PIM, notched two hits and blocked two shots in Monday's 4-3 overtime win over the Islanders.
Impact Oshie scored the game-tying goal 5:54 into the third period, and he set up Dmitry Orlov's game-winner in overtime. This was Oshie's second multi-point effort in seven outings since he returned from an upper-body injury. The 36-year-old winger has had another injury-plagued campaign, but he's picked up nine goals, 16 points, 67 shots on net, 66 hits, 27 PIM and a minus-5 rating in the 29 contests he's been healthy enough to suit up for.

Lights lamp Wednesday Oshie tallied a goal, four shots and two hits during Wednesday's 5-3 loss to the Flyers.
Impact Oshie has three points -- all goals -- in five games since returning from an upper-body injury on Jan. 3. The 36-year-old hasn't managed to register a helper in his last 16 games, but some positive regression is in store as long as he can log regular minutes on the top power-play unit alongside the likes of Alex Ovechkin.

Impact Oshie tied the game 1-1, cleaning up a rebound early in the second period. He'd add a second tally on a power play in the third to extend Washington's lead to 5-2. Oshie, playing in his second game since missing six contests with an upper-body injury, now has 13 points (seven goals, six assists) through 24 games this season.

Not ready to return Saturday Oshie (upper body) isn't available for Saturday's game against Montreal, according to Samantha Pell of The Washington Post.
Impact Oshie hasn't been in the lineup since Dec. 17. He practiced Thursday without a non-contact jersey, so he's making progress. The 36-year-old has five goals and 11 points in 22 games this season.

Not expected to play Thursday Oshie (upper body) ditched the non-contact jersey at Thursday's game-day skate but is not expected to be in the lineup versus the Senators, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.
Impact Oshie will be sidelined for his fifth consecutive contest due to his upper-body issue but appears to be trending in the right direction. Prior to his absence, the winger was stuck in a five-game pointless streak but could still be in line for a spot in the top six, as well as likely up with the No. 1 power-play unit.
DECEMBER 29, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Still sidelined Oshie (upper body) won't play Tuesday versus the Rangers, Tarik El-Bashir of The Athletic reports.
Impact Oshie will miss a fourth straight contest with his upper-body injury, and the Capitals have yet to release a clear-cut timetable for his return to action. Once healthy, look for Oshie to return to a middle-six role and a spot on the No. 1 power-play unit.
DECEMBER 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Will miss next two games Oshie (upper body) won't play Thursday versus Ottawa or Friday against Winnipeg, per Tom Gulitti of NHL.com.
Impact Oshie also missed Monday's 4-3 overtime victory against Detroit because of the injury. He has five goals and 11 points in 22 contests this season. The 35-year-old is likely to serve in a top-six role once he's healthy.

Remains unavailable Oshie (upper body) will not be in the lineup against the Red Wings on Monday, Tarik El-Bashir of The Athletic reports.
Impact Oshie continues to be classified as day-to-day but has yet to return to practicing with the team. The veteran winger is currently stuck in a five-game pointless streak during which he registered 12 shots, eight hits and two blocks. With Oshie unavailable, Nicolas Aube-Kubel is expected to move into a third-line role while Marcus Johansson joins the top power-play unit.

Won't return to Saturday's game Oshie (upper body) was injured in the second period of Saturday's game versus the Maple Leafs. He will be reevaluated Sunday.
Impact Oshie stayed on the bench briefly following the injury, but he soon retreated to the locker room. The oft-injured winger missed 11 games earlier in the season with a lower-body injury. If he can't play Monday versus the Red Wings, Joe Snively may replace Oshie in the lineup.
