Auston Matthews is up to seven points in three games since he returned from a nagging injury. In the days leading up to his return he said he really turned a corner in how he was feeling, and it sure looks like it. Now this mystery ailment may still be an issue, but it's a [...]
The Capitals announced yesterday that Alex Ovechkin is out week-to-week, and we have a new Injury Ward writer to cover the big news. We're bringing in Logan Clarkson from GoaliePost over to take over the column from Blake Creamer. All the best to Blake, and keep your eyes peeled for Logan's debut this afternoon. Back [...]
