Oshie, who scored 25 goals with 29 assists in 69 games this season, will not return for the playoffs, according to multiple sources.

Oshie was wearing a sling after the game, according to one person who saw him, and as he left the ice keeled over, he appeared to be favoring his right arm and shoulder. Foegele received a two-minute minor penalty for boarding, but the NHL Department of Player Safety didn’t consider the hit worthy of supplemental discipline. Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin said after the game that it was “a dirty play.
Washington is already without top-four defenseman Michal Kempny, who tore his hamstring late in the regular season and has been ruled out for the playoffs. With Oshie sidelined for Saturday night’s Game 5, forward Tom Wilson will play on a top line with Ovechkin and center Nicklas Backstrom. Carl Hagelin was promoted to the second line, on the right side of center Evgeny Kuznetsov and left wing Jakub Vrana.
“I’m not sure there’s another player that wants to play a game anymore that T.J. Oshie on our team,” Coach Todd Reirden said Saturday. “The fact that he’s not with us is gonna be a tough void to fill, but that just should hopefully push people to get to a different level and have his back so to speak.”
