Sandin (knee) will be with the Capitals for their two-game road trip, Tarik El-Bashir of Monumental Sports Network reports Monday.

Sandin has yet to get into a game this year while recovering from knee surgery, but he seems to be getting closer to suiting up for the Caps -- though he won't play during the trip. In 73 regular-season games last year, the 26-year-old blueliner recorded five goals, 24 assists and 90 shots on goal while averaging 19:12 of ice time.
