"The 19-year-old winger, Moose Jaw's captain, has not played in a game since November 22. "Lynden Lakovic will miss the remainder of the 2025-26 season due to an upper-body injury that requires surgery," the Warriors tweeted. "The Moose Jaw Warriors thank Lynden for everything he has done for our organization and our community. Lynden, Moose Jaw, will be following your career as you move on to the pro level.""
"Lakovic had a hot start to the year, recording 29 points (18g, 11a) in 22 games, and still ranks fourth in goals in the WHL despite not playing for a few weeks. The British Columbia native impressed at his first NHL training camp with the Capitals before being sent back to the WHL, and signed his three-year, entry-level contract with the Caps last July."
