Evgeny Kuznetsov's injury will keep him out of Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Flyers.
The Washington Capitals forward is listed as day to day with what the club would only call an upper-body ailment.
He left Friday's win over the New York Islanders late in the second period after taking a Thomas Hickey slash and then crashing into the boards. He left the ice holding his arm and didn't return. Hickey was given a slashing minor.
Kuznetsov ranks second among Capitals skaters with 71 points in 71 games this season. He leads the club with 50 assists.
