"Sandin was hurt with just 19 seconds remaining in the first frame, absorbing a hit from Oilers forward Curtis Lazar against the boards. After getting up slowly, Sandin got back into position and made a big shot block on defender Ty Emberson with the inside of his leg. The 25-year-old Swede needed assistance to get back to the team's bench once the horn sounded to end the period."
"He attempted to return for the second period but did not take a shift before heading back to the locker room. During the second intermission, the Capitals announced that Sandin would not return to the game due to a lower-body injury. When he left the ice, Sandin had played just 5:07 of ice time. He has played in 47 of the team's 53 games this season, recording 16 points (2g, 14a)."
