"📸: Alan Dobbins/RMNB ARLINGTON, VA - The Capitals will go without rookie Ryan Leonard for the foreseeable future after he sustained an upper-body injury against the Anaheim Ducks on Friday. Head coach Spencer Carbery offered an update on Leonard's status on Sunday morning, though he noted the team doesn't have a full sense of his timeline just yet. "Ryan will see the doctors today," Carbery said. "He's going to miss an extended period of time.""
"Leonard took a blindsided hit up high from Ducks forward Jacob Trouba late in the first period of Friday's game and immediately went down the tunnel. Despite protests from the Capitals both during and after the game, Trouba did not receive a penalty on the play, and the NHL Department of Player Safety declined to level supplemental discipline. Before the injury, Leonard had been on the hottest streak of his career so far."
