Caps Injury Updates

 The other night against the Panthers Shawn Thornton went shoulder to shoulder with Brooks Laich and Laich left the game. From what I read on Twitter Laich will be put on 7 day IR and Barry Trotz expects him to play when the Caps come home from the Western Canada trip.

 On the other hand it looks like Jay Beagle will be back in the lineup Wednesday again the Oilers. Beagle was skating with Marcus Johansson and Andre Burakovsky on he 2nd line in practice. With the Caps other lines playing well this makes sense to put Beagle with those two.

 Tom Wilson is also on his road back. The Caps announced that Wilson was assigned to the Hershey Bears and is expected to play in their two games this weekend. This too makes sense because Wilson was unable to play during the preseason as he is recovering from a leg injury that happened in the offseason.
