  • Capitals' Rasmus Sandin: Set to join team

    Sandin (not injured related) is on his way to join his Washington teammates at training camp, according to Tom Gulitti of NHL.com on Tuesday.

    Sandin should be back on the ice with his teammates soon after missing the start of camp due to a work visa issue. The 24-year-old blueliner produced three goals, 23 points, 79 shots on net, 106 blocked shots and 75 hits across 68 regular-season contests in 2023-24. Sandin will likely occupy a top-four spot and see time on the second power-play unit during the upcoming campaign.

  • Capitals' Rasmus Sandin: Absent from training camp

    Sandin is dealing with visa issues and will miss his second day of training camp, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports Friday.

    Sandin was limited to just 23 points last season after having notched 35 during the previous campaign split between Toronto and Washington. The offseason addition of Jakob Chychrun will create a competition for minutes with the No. 2 power-play unit, which could see Sandin's numbers further dip if he finds himself on the outside looking in. Still, a 20-point campaign is likely the floor for Sandin, giving him decent mid-range fantasy value.

He registered three goals, 23 points, 79 shots on net, 106 blocked shots and 75 hits in 68 appearances during the 2023-24 campaign.

    Sandin (upper body) is at morning practice Saturday in a non-contact jersey, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.

    The Capitals play Game 1 versus the Rangers on Sunday, and it's starting to look like Sandin won't be ready to return. He missed the last five games of the regular season with the injury, finishing with three goals and 20 assists in 68 appearances. Should Sandin be unavailable Sunday, look for Dylan McIlrath to dress as the Capitals' sixth defenseman.

  • Capitals' Rasmus Sandin: LIkely done for regular season

    Sandin (upper body) is not expected to return to the lineup before the end of the regular season, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports Friday.

    Sandin will have to hope that his teammates can secure a playoff in order to play again this season. The defenseman is currently stuck in a 21-game goal drought dating back to Feb. 22 versus the Lightning. During that stretch, the Swede has managed six assists, 20 shots and 32 blocks while averaging 20:21 of ice time. In Sandin's stead, Vincent Iorio figures to continue seeing minutes on the blue line.

    Sandin (upper body) won't play during Washington's upcoming two-game road trip, per Tom Gulitti of NHL.com.

    Sandin, who was injured in Sunday's 3-2 overtime loss to Ottawa, might be able to return before the end of the regular season. Still, it's unclear if he will be available to play Saturday against Tampa Bay. Sandin has registered three goals, 23 points, 79 shots on net, 106 blocked shots and 75 hits in 68 appearances this season. Vincent Iorio could suit up Tuesday versus Detroit because of Sandin's absence.

    Sandin (lower body) was on the ice for Monday's practice, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.

    Sandin was a late scratch for Saturday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Bruins, but his return to the ice is a good sign he could be ready in time for Tuesday's game against Buffalo. The 24-year-old had three points in his previous six games prior to the injury.

  • Capitals' Rasmus Sandin: Agrees to five-year extension

    Sandin signed a five-year, $23 million contract extension Wednesday.

Sandin has three goals, 20 points, 57 hits and 85 blocks in 52 contests while averaging 21:19 of ice time this season. The 23-year-old has more offensive upside than he's demonstrated this year -- he finished the 2022-23 campaign with seven goals and 35 points in 71 outings between Toronto and Washington.

  • Capitals' Rasmus Sandin: Poised to play

    Sandin (undisclosed) is expected to play Sunday versus the Coyotes, according to Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post.

    Sandin appears to be good to go after missing Saturday's practice and being considered a game-time decision. He has picked up 13 of his 19 points this season over his past 20 appearances. Sandin also has 66 shots on goal, 83 blocked shots and 56 hits across 51 contests this campaign.

  • Capitals' Rasmus Sandin: Questionable for Sunday

    Sandin (undisclosed) is questionable for Sunday's matinee matchup against the Coyotes, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports.

    Sandin took part in Saturday's optional skate but isn't a lock to take on the Coyotes. Ethan Bear is likely to draw in should Sandin, who has three goals and eight points in his last 15 games, be unable to play.
