Winger Patric Hornqvist has been ruled out for Saturday’s game vs the New Jersey Devils.
Hornqvist took a hard hit in center ice from Capitals defenseman Brooks Orpik in the third period of tonight’s game.
The impact of the hit was in the femur area and Hornqvist is expected to undergo an MRI tomorrow. There is some concern in the organization tonight, per a source close to the situation.
Winger Zach Aston-Reese is under strong consideration for a call-up.
