"Ahead of the team's return home to play the Carolina Hurricanes on Saturday evening, the Capitals placed forward Connor McMichael and defenseman Matt Roy on injured reserve. McMichael played in all six games on the trip but missed the final 8:18 of regulation and all of overtime and the shootout against the Detroit Red Wings. Roy has missed the past two games with a lower-body injury."
"With McMichael out of action, the Capitals appear likely to recall Russian winger Bogdan Trineyev from the AHL's Hershey Bears. Trineyev was held out of Hershey's game against the Rochester Americans on Friday night but was not listed with an injury. He has played two games, including his NHL debut, with the Caps this season. No Bears defender was held out similarly to Trineyev, which indicates the Capitals will continue to fill Roy's absence with either Declan Chisholm or Dylan McIlrath."
