T.J. Oshie - Considered week-to-week Oshie is considered week-to-week with an upper-body injury, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports.

The 35-year-old could be on the move prior to the trade deadline if the Capitals continue to lose ground in the Eastern Conference playoff race which could enhance Pacioretty's fantasy value during the home stretch of the 2023-24 campaign.
