Their absence was felt during a tightly contested game against the New York Rangers, where the Capitals struggled to maintain their offensive prowess.

The Capitals' coaching staff expressed concern over the impact of these injuries on team dynamics and strategy. Wilson's leadership on the ice has always been a cornerstone of the Capitals' approach, and his loss alongside a key defenseman like Sandin, who brings both skill and stability, raised questions about the team's depth.
