Capitals' T.J. Oshie: Week-to-week with upper-body ailment

Oshie is considered week-to-week with an upper-body injury.

Analysis:

It's a big blow to the Capitals and Oshie's owners alike, as the 29-year-old winger has been enjoying another productive campaign in 2016-17, having tallied 12 points (eight goals, four assists) in 17 games. It's too early to estimate when the American forward may be ready to return to game action, but the Capitals should provide another update on his status once he's cleared to return to practice. With Oshie out of the lineup for the foreseeable future, Justin Williams is a likely candidate to move up the depth chart into a top-six role.
