Washington Capitals forward T.J. Oshie is considered week-to-week after sustaining a lower-body injury during Wednesday's loss to the Detroit Red Wings, the team announced.
Oshie notched an assist while seeing 18:31 of ice time in the overtime loss. The specifics of his injury are unknown, but Oshie is in a walking boot and on crutches, according to The Athletic's Tarik El-Bashir.
The Capitals are already without top center Nicklas Backstrom, who was placed on long-term injured reserve with a hip injury earlier this month.
Oshie's recorded six points over seven games in 2021-22.
