Poised to play Oshie (upper body) is expected to play Sunday against Winnipeg, per Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press.
Impact Barring a last-minute setback, Oshie will return to the lineup following a two-game absence. He should occupy a top-six role and see time on the power play versus the Jets. Oshie has 11 goals, 19 points, 81 shots on net, 44 blocked shots and 64 hits across 43 appearances this season.

Unavailable Friday Oshie (upper body) will not be in the lineup versus Carolina on Friday, according to The Hockey News.
Impact Oshie will sit out his second straight game. The encouraging news is that he participated in practice Friday and skated on the second power play. The 37-year-old winger has 11 goals and 19 points in 43 games this season.
MARCH 22 • ROTOWIRE
Not playing Wednesday Oshie (upper body) will not play Wednesday versus the Maple Leafs.
Impact Oshie will exit the lineup after posting one goal across five contests since his last absence. The 37-year-old has been battling upper-body issues throughout March. Nicolas Aube-Kubel and Michael Sgarbossa are set to play Wednesday with Oshie and Aliaksei Protas (lower body) out.

Capitals' TJ Oshie Receives Ovation From Vancouver Crowd In 1000th Game

Set to play Saturday Oshie (upper body) took line rushes during warm-ups and is set to play Saturday against the Canucks, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports.
Impact Oshie had been questionable during the day, but he will draw into his 1,000th NHL game when the Capitals face off against Vancouver. The 37-year-old winger has three goals and seven points over his last nine games and should get his usual work on the top power-play unit with the likes of Alex Ovechkin.

Questionable Saturday Oshie is being evaluated after sustaining an undisclosed injury during Saturday's morning skate, per Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post. He is questionable for the evening's gam...
Impact Oshie left Washington's practice before he could participate in line rushes. The 37-year-old has 11 goals and 19 points in 41 contests this season. If Oshie can't play Saturday, Aliaksei Protas will likely serve in a bigger role. Nicolas Aube-Kubel might also draw back into the lineup after being a healthy scratch Thursday if Oshie is unavailable.

Gets favorable bounce Oshie scored a power-play goal and added two PIM in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Kraken.
Impact Oshie's goal was less a product of his own work and more a result of good fortune, as Joey Daccord's clearing attempt bounced off the forward and in for the opening goal. This was Oshie's third game back from an upper-body injury that kept him out of the lineup for seven contests. He's up to 11 tallies, 19 points, 78 shots on net, 63 hits, 40 blocked shots, 42 PIM and a minus-10 rating through 41 appearances. The Capitals have used a multitude of line combinations, but Oshie should be good for top-six minutes and power-play time as long as he can stay healthy.
MARCH 15 • ROTOWIRE
Removed from IR Oshie (upper body) was activated from injured reserve Monday, per the NHL media site.
Impact Oshie appears to be ready to return to the lineup Monday against Winnipeg following a seven-game absence. The 37-year-old forward has accounted for 10 goals, 18 points, 74 shots on net, 39 blocked shots and 59 hits over 38 appearances this season.
MARCH 11 • ROTOWIRE
Skates Tuesday Oshie (upper body) was on the ice prior to Tuesday's practice, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports.
Impact Oshie skated for the first time since exiting a 5-3 loss to the Lightning on Feb. 22. The 37-year-old remains week-to-week and the Capitals may elect to be very cautious with his return should their playoff chances continue to dwindle.
MARCH 5 • ROTOWIRE
Considered week-to-week Oshie is considered week-to-week with an upper-body injury, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports.
Impact Given Oshie's recovery timetable, it wouldn't be surprising to see the 37-year-old vet end up on injured reserve in the coming days. Hendrix Lapierre will likely see regular playing time with the Capitals until Oshie, who's picked up 10 goals and 18 points through 38 contests this campaign, is ready to return.

Not playing Saturday Oshie (lower body) will not play in Florida on Saturday, per Sammi Silber of The Hockey News.
Impact Oshie won't skate Friday or Saturday and could be out a while as the Capitals are still unsure as to the severity of the injury. Oshie has 10 goals and 18 points in 38 games this season. Look for Tom Wilson to move up to the first line alongside Dylan Strome and Alex Ovechkin, while Sonny Milano could see time on the second power play.

Sustains lower-body injury Oshie needed help getting to the locker room after sustaining a lower-body injury Thursday versus the Lightning, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports.
Impact Oshie had to crawl to the bench and then required assistance to go down the tunnel late in the third period. The 37-year-old, who is four games away from 1,000 in his career, may miss time, as he did not sustain any contact when he was injured. Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports Oshie will be further evaluated Friday.

Unlocks scoring milestone Oshie converted a power-play chance to pick up career goal No. 300 in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Canadiens. "This one means a lot," Oshie said in a report by Sean Farrell of NHL.c...
Impact Oshie's milestone goal gave the Capitals a 2-1 advantage through the first period, but there would be two more ties ahead of Aliaksei Protas' game-winning tally. It seems like Oshie is rounding into vintage form based on eight goals and four assists -- with six of them being power-play points -- through 15 games of 2024.

Capitals' T.J. Oshie Picks Top Corner To Score 300th Career NHL Goal
FEBRUARY 18 • YOUTUBE
Stays warm with helper Oshie posted an assist, two shots on goal, two hits and two PIM in Sunday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Canucks.
Impact Oshie started a play that resulted in Alex Ovechkin's second-period tally. Since returning from an upper-body injury in mid-January, Oshie has racked up 11 points over 13 contests, including five power-play points in that span. The 37-year-old is always an injury risk, but that level of production can't be ignored in fantasy. On the year, he's managed 15 points, 68 shots on net, 47 hits, 32 blocked shots, 34 PIM and a minus-9 rating through 34 outings.
FEBRUARY 12 • ROTOWIRE
Continues power-play productivity Oshie had a goal and an assist in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Bruins.
Impact He potted a power-play goal 1:05 into the second frame that stood as the winner. At 37, Oshie's best days are behind him. But seven of his 14 points this season have come with the man advantage. Five of those are PPG, which ties him with Alex Ovechkin and Dylan Strome for the team lead. Oshie may be a guy who can help you in that category. That is if you can afford the drag from the rest of his game. He has a minus-10 rating and only nine goals on the season. On a positive note, Oshie is only nine games from recording his 1,000th NHL game.
FEBRUARY 11 • ROTOWIRE
Strikes on power play Oshie scored a goal on his lone shot in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Wild.
Impact Oshie cut the Caps' deficit to 5-2 late in the third period, deflecting a John Carlson shot past Filip Gustavsson in the closing seconds of a power play. The 37-year-old Oshie has found his scoring touch recently, tallying six goals and seven points in seven contests since his return from an 11-game absence with an upper-body injury. Overall, the veteran winger is up to eight goals, with four on the power play, and 11 points through 28 games this season.

Sixth career NHL hattie Oshie scored a hat trick Thursday in a 5-2 win over the Blues.
Impact It was the sixth NHL hattie for Oshie, who has six points, including five goals, in his last four games. He opened the scoring while on a first-period power play. He won a puck battle in the left face-off circle and wired a wrist shot over Jordan Binnington's left shoulder. Oshie's next goal, which was an easy finish on a tic-tac-toe play, pushed the lead to 3-1 and stood as the winner. His last goal went into the empty net. Oshie started the season with two points in his first 19 games, but has eight points (six goals, two assists) in his last seven games. Hot is hot, even at 37 years old.
