Latta suffered an upper-body injury in the second period of Tuesday's game against the Blue Jackets and will not return, Alex Prewitt of the Washington Post reports.

Analysis:

Latta saw only six shifts on the night before exiting with the injury. The fourth-line center has no goals and five assists over his 42 games this season, so the injury should only impact those in the very deepest of leagues.
