Capitals' Joel Edmundson: Making Capitals debut Saturday

As expected, Edmundson (hand) will play Saturday against the Blue Jackets, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports.

Edmundson was taken off long-term injured reserve earlier in the day to make his Washington debut. He missed the first 14 games of the 2023-24 campaign after suffering a broken hand during the preseason. The 30-year-old will be a valuable physical presence for the Capitals, but his lack of offensive upside confines his fantasy appeal to deeper leagues that credit hits and blocked shots.
