Laich exited Saturday's game in the third period with what head coach Barry Trotz is calling an upper-body injury, Adam Vingan of NBC4 Washington reports.

Analysis:

Laich didn't return to the game and his status for the Capitals' upcoming road trip is uncertain at this time. He has missed much of the last two seasons with a nagging groin injury, so the Capitals will hope this injury is nothing significant. Laich has one assist and five shots in five games this season.
