Capitals’ Dylan Strome Exits With Lower-Body Injury After Early Collision vs. Senators

Head coach Spencer Carbery called the injury concerning, with an update not expected before Monday.

Overview

Strome was hurt 3:34 into the first period on a power play after contact involving Artem Zub and Jakob Chychrun sent him into the boards.
He was helped off the ice favoring his left leg, briefly returned for two short shifts, then left for the locker room.
The Capitals’ PR announced he would not return, confirming a lower-body injury and no immediate timetable.
Nic Dowd logged the most center minutes after Strome’s exit, with Washington adjusting usage during the game.
Strome ranks among Washington’s top scorers with 10 points early this season after leading the team with 82 points last year; separate notes included Mikael Granlund leaving Anaheim’s game and Buffalo resting rookie goalie Colten Ellis for back tightness.
