Capitals' Orpik helped off ice after questionable hit
Sportsnet
The Washington Capitals could be without Brooks Orpik for the foreseeable future.
The veteran defenseman had to be helped off the ice Monday after being crunched into the glass by Ryan White of the Philadelphia Flyers during the second period of Game 3 of their first-round playoff series.
The early prognosis didn't appear positive, according to NBC analyst Pierre McGuire.

Orpik didn't return to the game, and is considered day to day, according to head coach Barry Trotz.
