Rotowire
Oshie is dealing with an upper-body injury after Friday's tilt with Edmonton and will not travel to San Jose for Monday's game against the Sharks, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.
Oshie will miss at least one game after suffering an injury Friday but it's unclear if he'll be available at any point during Washington's upcoming five-game road trip.

Capitals' T.J. Oshie: Just first goal of season
Rotowire
Oshie scored his first goal of the season Wednesday in a 4-3 overtime win over Buffalo.
Oshie tied the score 2-2 in the second when he backhanded a rebound from the slot that beat Devon Levi. The 36-year-old winger has just two points in 16 games, and Wednesday's was his first since Oct. 25. It's a far cry from his 35 points in 58 games last season. The end could be drawing near for Oshie.

Capitals' T.J. Oshie: Taking maintenance day
Rotowire
Oshie was held out of Monday's practice for maintenance reasons, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports.
The Capitals can only hope some added rest will jumpstart Oshie's offensive game -- he has only mustered a single assist in 13 games. Once a reliable contributor at both ends of the ice, it's possible age and a lengthy injury history has caught up with the 36-year-old winger. Only a meaningful presence on the top power-play unit stands between Oshie and becoming a non-factor in most fantasy formats.

Rotowire
Oshie logged an assist, two shots on goal and two hits in Wednesday's 6-4 win over the Devils.
Oshie has had a tough go to start 2023-24 -- his helper Wednesday was his first point of the campaign. The winger has been generating chances with 15 shots on net, and he's added seven hits, four PIM and a minus-3 rating. The 36-year-old should continue to see middle-six minutes at even strength as well as time on the top power-play unit.

Rotowire
Oshie (upper body) won't play Saturday versus Florida, Sammie Silber of The Hockey News reports.
The Capitals aren't going to make the playoffs, and the team will only have three games remaining following Saturday's contest, so it's possible Oshie will miss the rest of the campaign. If that ends up being the case, the 36-year-old vet will finish the season having picked up 19 goals, 35 points and an unsightly minus-18 rating through 58 games.

Rotowire
Oshie (upper body) will not travel with the Habs for their matchup against Montreal on Thursday, Tarik El-Bashir of The Athletic reports.
Prior to getting hurt, Oshie was stuck in a four-game pointless streak during which he put eight shots on net.
