Capitals' Sonny Milano: Good for Thursday
Milano (upper body) will draw into the lineup for Thursday's preseason game against Boston.
Milano had no points and four shots in three regular-season outings with Washington in 2024-25. Although he might make the Capitals' roster, Milano isn't guaranteed to be a regular in the lineup this campaign.

Capitals' Sonny Milano: Won't play Tuesday
Milano (upper body) will not be in action versus Columbus on Tuesday.
Milano played in just three regular-season games for the Caps last year and a mere 49 contests the year before. As such, perhaps it's not surprising to see the 29-year-old winger once again dealing with an injury. With Milano entering the final year of his three-year deal signed back in February of 2023, he'll need to prove he can stay healthy for a full campaign if he wants to earn another NHL contract.

Capitals' Sonny Milano: Absent from practice
Milano (upper body) didn't participate in Monday's practice, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports.
Milano's injury isn't related to the one that limited him to three appearances last season, but the Capitals will probably be cautious with his recovery. If it's a minor issue, the 29-year-old forward could be back in the lineup at some point before the start of the regular season.

Capitals' Sonny Milano: Working with teammates
Milano (upper body) participated in Monday's informal skate ahead of training camp, Tarik El-Bashir of Monumental Sports Network reports.
Milano was expected to be ready in time for the start of training camp, and that certainly seems to be the case. Considering the 29-year-old winger has played in just 52 regular-season games over the last two years, fantasy managers may want to take a cautious approach to utilizing him in season-long formats. Still, when healthy, Milano could push for a middle-six role while offering decent fantasy upside.

Capitals' Sonny Milano: Likely to be ready at training camp
Milano (upper body) is feeling good and is expected to be ready for training camp in September, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports Saturday.
Milano suffered the injury in early November and missed the remainder of the season. The 29-year-old played in only three regular-season games and was unable to hit the scoresheet. Milano suffered a "significant setback" in early March, but he seems to have recovered and is expected to challenge for a role as a bottom-six forward in training camp.

Capitals' Sonny Milano: Suffers setback in recovery
General manager Chris Patrick said Friday that Milano (upper body) recently sustained a "significant setback" in his recovery, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports.
Milano has been sidelined since early November due to his upper-body injury, and the Capitals are still working to determine the next steps in his recovery process following his setback. He had resumed skating in a non-contact sweater in mid-January, but it certainly seems possible that his setback could keep him sidelined for the remainder of the regular season.

Capitals' Sonny Milano: Practices Wednesday
Milano (upper body) took part in Wednesday's practice, though he was wearing a non-contact jersey, per Tom Gulitti of NHL.com.
Milano shouldn't be expected to return to the Capitals' lineup until he starts taking contact, but he's making progress. He has no points, four shots and a hit over three appearances with Washington in 2024-25. Milano should be in the mix for a fourth-line spot once he's healthy.

Capitals' Sonny Milano: Return not imminent
Milano (upper body) is not expected back in the short term after head coach Spencer Carbery told reporters Friday, "It's still a ways away from him getting into games. He's been out for a significant amount of time, so we're going to need at least a week of practice to get him back up and running," Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.
Milano has been on the shelf since Nov. 6 versus the Predators, a stretch of 29 games out of the lineup. Even once cleared to return, Milano is far from a lock to play on a nightly basis and will likely need to compete with Jakub Vrana for a spot in the lineup. Given his uncertain return to action and inability to firmly cement himself in the lineup, fantasy players probably should be looking at alternative depth options.

Capitals' Sonny Milano: Participates in morning skate
Milano (upper body) joined the Capitals for Wednesday's morning skate, though he didn't take contact, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports.
Milano not being ready to take contact suggests he's still not close to returning, but this is still an important step in the right direction. The 28-year-old hasn't played since Nov. 6 because of the injury. When healthy, Milano will likely serve as a depth forward for Washington, shifting between the bottom six and press box.

Capitals' Sonny Milano: Moved to LTIR
Milano (upper body) was shifted to long-term injured reserve Wednesday, Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press reports.
Milano remains without a clear recovery timeline -- though this move will keep him out for at least the rest of November -- and the team could use the cap space now that Alex Ovechkin (lower leg) was placed on injured reserve. Even once cleared to play, the 28-year-old Milano was struggling to get into the lineup ahead of Jakub Vrana, so don't be surprised if Milano ends up on waivers or even in the minors later in the campaign.

Capitals' Sonny Milano: Without clear timeline
Milano (upper body) remains without a definitive recovery timeline, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports Wednesday.
Head coach Spencer Carbery didn't have a real update on Milano, so at this point, the winger should probably be considered out indefinitely. Even once cleared to play, the New York native's path to minutes is going to be muddy, especially with the team acquiring Lars Eller from the Penguins on Tuesday. Don't be surprised if Milano ends up on waivers for the purpose of reassigning him to the minors once cleared to play.

Capitals' Sonny Milano: Placed on injured reserve
Milano (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, per the NHL media site.
Milano missed Friday's contest versus the Penguins. He has been a healthy scratch on nine occasions this season and has played in three games with nary a point. Jakub Vrana is expected to remain in the lineup with Milano out of action.

Capitals' Sonny Milano: Not playing Friday
Milano will miss Friday's game versus Washington with an upper-body injury, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.
Milano played in the last two games after being a healthy scratch nine games in a row. The bottom-six forward has yet to pick up a point in three games this season. Look for Jakub Vrana to re-enter the lineup in Milano's absence.

Capitals' Sonny Milano: Frequent healthy scratch
Milano was scratched for the eighth time in nine games when he sat out Thursday's 6-3 win over the Canadiens.
Milano hasn't played since Opening Night, when he logged a meager 5:52 of ice time and took a minus-3 rating. The 28-year-old winger had 15 goals and 23 points over 49 regular-season games in 2023-24, a campaign that was interrupted multiple times by injuries and illnesses. With the Capitals off to a 7-2-0 start, Milano may be waiting a while for his next opportunity to compete for a spot in the lineup.

Capitals' Sonny Milano: Suiting up Friday
Milano (undisclosed) will be in action against the Rangers for Game 3 on Friday, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.
Milano has scored just two goals in his last 13 outings while registering a mere 10 shots over that span. Nicolas Aube-Kubel figures to find himself watching from the press box with Milano available to play Friday.

Capitals' Sonny Milano: In doubt Friday
Milano (undisclosed) missed Thursday's morning skate, raising doubts about his availability versus the Rangers for Game 3 on Friday, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports.
Milano is pointless in the postseason through two games while chipping in just one shot and a minus-2 rating over that span. Despite playing in only 49 regular-season contests, the 27-year-old winger still set a new personal best with 15 goals, though he missed the 30-point threshold for the first time in the last three years.

Capitals' Sonny Milano: Two-goal outburst
Milano scored two goals in a 4-2 win over the Lightning on Saturday.
The goals were his first in nine games. Milan has a career-high 15 tallies in 2023-24, but he hasn't been a reliable fantasy play. Milano's 31.3 shooting percentage is almost double his career mark (16.2). He has also put up points (five goals) in just two of his last 16 games.
