Sonny Milano to exit Capitals lineup against Lightning in favor of a returning Ethen Frank

"After missing the past four games with an upper-body injury, Ethen Frank will return to action. Frank was activated off injured reserve ahead of the game and will replace Sonny Milano in the team's lineup. "Milano will come out, and then we've got to make some roster [moves], sort of flipping some things this afternoon," head coach Spencer Carbery said after the club's morning skate."

"Frank was injured in Washington's 1-0 loss to the Dallas Stars on October 28, sent to the locker room after colliding with Stars forward Mikko Rantanen. The Capitals then placed Frank on IR two days later, and he returned to practice for the first time earlier this week. In three games for the Capitals this season, Frank has recorded one assist and averaged 11:18 of ice time per game. He has also played three games for the AHL's Hershey Bears, scoring twice."
