"Sandin was unable to finish the Capitals' last game, a 6-5 overtime loss to the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday night. He played just 5:07 of ice time before suffering a lower-body injury with just 19 seconds remaining in the first period. Roy finished the game against Edmonton, skating 21:27 of ice time on the team's second defense pairing. The 30-year-old blueliner had played in all 53 games for the Capitals this season until this injury."
"The two injuries on the backend will see Dylan McIlrath and Declan Chisholm draw in as the Capitals' third pairing. McIlrath has not played since January 15 and has not skated more than 6:08 of ice time in any of the four games he has featured in this month. Chisholm was also set to be a game-time decision in Seattle after missing Monday's practice at Climate Pledge. The 26-year-old has not played since January 19's game against the Colorado Avalanche."
Rasmus Sandin and Matt Roy are out of the lineup against the Seattle Kraken with lower-body injuries and are listed as day-to-day. Sandin exited the previous game, a 6-5 overtime loss to the Edmonton Oilers, after playing 5:07 and sustaining the injury with 19 seconds left in the first period. Roy completed that game, logging 21:27 on the second defensive pairing, after having appeared in all 53 Capitals games this season prior to the injury. Dylan McIlrath and Declan Chisholm will slot into the third pairing, with McIlrath having limited recent minutes and Chisholm recently missing practice. Tom Wilson will play despite earlier uncertainty about his lineup status.
