Caps just announced OV is out “week to week”. It sounds like they were still in Utah this morning as they said further updates will be announced after meeting with team doctors on Wednesday. So, he may or may not be injured, but definitely got hurt. There is a difference.
Mickstix:
Anything but torn ligaments and I'll consider it a win.. :cross:

Just announced, the Caps have called up Miroshnichenko from Hershey to presumably fill an empty left wing slot.
The Caps obviously had yesterday off, I’m curious if this call was made yesterday so Miro was here for practice this morning.

Not a surprising move, but where does he slot? It appears that lines 2 and 4 will remain intact, so I don't think McMichael is moving into Ovie's spot.
There's talk of Mangiapane moving up to 1LW, which would leave Vrana/Miro/Lapierre as potential wingers for Eller.
Alternatively, one could just slot Miro at 1LW, not disrupting anything else. OR move Vrana to 1LW to reward him for his recent good play, and have Miro/Mangiapane flanking Eller.
alta:
Putting Miro at 1L so nothing else is disrupted would be my first move.
OV was moved to IR. So he’s out at least 10 days. Assuming OV was put on IR yesterday, it appears the earliest he can play is Nov 30 vs the Devils. He will miss 5 games minimum.
The Caps also retroactively put Milano on LTIR, which is usually a salary move. Milano will be eligible to play Nov 29 vs the Islanders.
