Craig Laughlin, a color commentator for the Washington Capitals, announced he is stepping away from broadcast duties temporarily due to health issues following recent heart surgery. He underwent procedures earlier this year to address cardiac issues and, despite his initial return to commentary—where he witnessed historic moments for the team—he has not been feeling well and has been advised to rest. During his absence, Alan May will cover his role. The Capitals are currently leading their playoff series, adding to the excitement surrounding the season.
Unfortunately I haven't been feeling 100%. My cardiology and medical team have advised me to miss a few games. I'm so disappointed to step away from the booth again, but I can't wait to rejoin our @MonSportsNet broadcast team very soon. Go Caps!
Laughlin returned to television on Sunday, March 30 for a Caps home game against the Buffalo Sabres, making his comeback just in time for Ovechkin's record-setting games.
