"After playing the Blue Jackets, the Capitals will have ample time to decide, as they do not play again until Thursday against the Carolina Hurricanes. In Hershey, Trineyev has recorded 12 points (6g, 6a) in 16 games this season. The 6-foot-3, 206-pound forward plays in all situations and ranks first on the Bears in plus-minus rating (+7), second in goals, and third in points."
"What Carbery means by assess is unclear. He could be referring to Trineyev possibly playing in the future and slotting onto a line. Management could also consider a longer-term solution to fill Leonard's hole in the lineup, such as Ivan Miroshnichenko, Ilya Protas, or Brett Leason. After playing the Blue Jackets, the Capitals will have ample time to decide, as they do not play again until Thursday against the Carolina Hurricanes."
Rookie forward Ryan Leonard is sidelined long-term after a blindside hit by Jacob Trouba, and goaltender Charlie Lindgren suffered an upper-body injury; both players were placed on injured reserve Sunday. The Capitals recalled winger Bogdan Trineyev and goaltender Clay Stevenson from the Hershey Bears. Trineyev had a prior short stint with the Capitals and did not make his NHL debut there, while Stevenson has not appeared with the Capitals this season. Trineyev has 12 points (6g, 6a) in 16 Hershey games, leads the Bears in plus-minus (+7), and plays in all situations. Management will evaluate lineup options before the next game.
