Capitals' Ethen Frank: Placed on injured reserve
Frank (upper body) was put on injured reserve Thursday, per Sammi Silber of The Hockey News.
Frank sustained his upper-body injury Tuesday in Dallas. The journeyman winger has one assist in three games this season. There is no word on the extent of his injury, but he appears likely to miss more than one week.

Capitals' Ethen Frank: Hurt in Tuesday's loss
Frank sustained an undisclosed injury in the third period of Tuesday's loss to the Stars, and there was no update on his status after the game, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports.
The injury occurred late enough in the contest that the lack of an update is not a surprise. For now, he can be considered day-to-day ahead of Friday's game versus the Islanders. Frank was called up Monday to add to the Capitals' forward depth in the absence of Dylan Strome (lower body), but it looks like the team will either need to make another move or insert Sonny Milano into the lineup if Frank misses time.

Capitals' Ethen Frank: Recalled by Washington
Frank was recalled from AHL Hershey on Monday.
Frank was sent to the minors Saturday, but he'll rejoin the NHL club a few days later to provide additional depth after Dylan Strome (lower body) exited Saturday's game against Ottawa. Frank has made two appearances for the Capitals this season, recording an assist, a hit, a blocked shot and four PIM while averaging 12:34 of ice time.

Capitals' Ethen Frank: Returns to AHL
Frank was reassigned to AHL Hershey on Saturday.
Pierre-Luc Dubois (lower body) was taken off injured reserve in a corresponding move. Frank had an assist and four PIM in two appearances with Washington during his latest NHL stint. He also has two goals in two outings with Hershey this season.

Capitals' Ethen Frank: Gets first point of campaign
Frank logged an assist and two PIM in Friday's 5-1 win over the Blue Jackets.
This was Frank's second NHL appearance of the season. He's holding a spot in the lineup over Sonny Milano for now, but Frank could be the one who heads back to AHL Hershey when Pierre-Luc Dubois (lower body) comes off injured reserve. The 27-year-old Frank has a helper, four PIM and two shots on net this season after posting seven points in 24 regular-season outings in 2024-25.

Capitals' Ethen Frank: Back in NHL
Frank was recalled from AHL Hershey on Friday.
Frank played 24 regular-season games with the Capitals in 2024-25, scoring four times while adding three assists. The 27-year-old has two goals in two AHL games this season. Pierre-Luc Dubois is day-to-day with a lower-body injury, and if he is unable to go, Frank could draw into the lineup or be their 13th forward versus Minnesota on Friday.

Capitals' Ethen Frank: Two goals in AHL opener
Frank scored twice in AHL Hershey's 5-2 loss to Syracuse on Saturday.
Frank missed out on the Capitals' Opening Night roster, but he was one of their last camp cuts. That bodes well for his chances of being an early call-up candidate, and his hot start on offense is also a positive. The 27-year-old had seven points in 24 regular-season outings with Washington last year in his first taste of NHL action, but he didn't make an appearance in the playoffs.

Capitals' Ethen Frank: Placed on waivers by Washington
Frank was placed on waivers by the Capitals on Sunday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.
Frank got his first taste of NHL action last year, recording four goals, three assists, 16 blocked shots, 11 hits and six PIM while averaging 10:49 of ice time over 24 regular-season appearances. He'll likely head to AHL Hershey if he clears waivers, but he'll be a candidate to be called up if Washington needs additional depth at some point.

Capitals' Ethen Frank: Back at practice
Frank (illness) participated in Tuesday's morning skate after missing Monday's practice, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports.
Frank has been a healthy scratch for the last four games and may sit again versus Detroit on Tuesday. He has accounted for four goals, seven points, 21 shots on net, 12 blocked shots and 10 hits through 22 NHL outings this season.

Capitals' Ethen Frank: Managing illness
Frank is dealing with an illness, but the hope is that he'll be available Tuesday against Detroit, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports Monday.
Frank has been a healthy scratch in the Capitals' last four games, but his status for Tuesday's matchup is up in the air due to his illness. Dylan Strome is also dealing with an illness, but the team hopes that both Strome and Frank will be available for Tuesday's game.

Capitals' Ethen Frank: Picks up helper Wednesday
Frank notched a power-play assist and four PIM in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Rangers.
A late scoring change gave Frank the second helper on Alex Ovechkin's game-tying goal in the third period. After playing primarily on the third line, the Capitals swapped Frank and Taylor Raddysh's spots in the lineup for Wednesday's contest. Frank has managed seven points, 19 shots on net, 10 hits, 11 blocked shots, six PIM and a plus-6 rating over 21 appearances this season. The 27-year-old winger is likely to remain in a bottom-six role unless the Capitals make significant additions at forward prior to Friday's trade deadline.

Capitals' Ethen Frank: Snaps skid with goal
Frank tallied a goal and added two shots during Saturday's 8-3 win over the Penguins.
Frank's marker in the first period snapped a seven-game point drought. The 27-year-old has undoubtedly provided a spark for Washington's bottom six since his recall, but Frank will need to produce with more consistency to keep a regular spot in the lineup for the high-flying Capitals.

Capitals' Ethen Frank: Scores in Thursday's win
Frank scored a goal on four shots in Thursday's 3-0 win over the Kraken.
Frank ended a three-game point drought with the second-period tally after he forced a turnover and scored on the rush. The 26-year-old winger had seen his ice time dip in recent contests, and while he's listed on the third line, that's typically the Capitals' least-used forward trio. Frank is at three goals, one assist, seven shots on net, five hits, four blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over his first seven NHL appearances.

Capitals' Ethen Frank: Lights lamp again in win
Frank scored a goal on two shots and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 3-0 win over the Ducks.
Frank has opened his NHL career on a three-game point streak (two goals, one assist). He's been a perfect fit on the third line so far, playing alongside Taylor Raddysh and Lars Eller to give the Capitals a bit more scoring depth. Frank is unlikely to be a point-per-game player over a long stretch, but the 26-year-old's scoring touch has been evident in the minors over the last three years -- he has 79 goals across 156 games with AHL Hershey in that span.

Capitals' Ethen Frank: Scores first NHL goal Saturday
Frank scored an even-strength goal on his only shot in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Predators.
It took just two games for Frank to pot his first career NHL goal, and he's registered a point in each of his first two contests with the Capitals. The 26-year-old is slotting in on the third line and has pushed Jakub Vrana out of the lineup as a result. Frank will look to extend his point streak to three games Tuesday against the Ducks.
