Capitals' Sonny Milano: Moved to LTIR
Sonny Milano (upper body) was shifted to long-term injured reserve Wednesday, Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press reports.Milano remains without a clear recovery timeline -- though this move will keep him out for at least the rest of November -- and the team could use the cap space now that Alex Ovechkin (lower leg) was placed on injured reserve. Even once cleared to play, the 28-year-old Milano was struggling to get into the lineup ahead of Jakub Vrana, so don't be surprised if Milano ends up on waivers or even in the minors later in the campaign.

Capitals' Sonny Milano: Without clear timeline
Sonny Milano (upper body) remains without a definitive recovery timeline, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports Wednesday.Head coach Spencer Carbery didn't have a real update on Milano, so at this point, the winger should probably be considered out indefinitely. Even once cleared to play, the New York native's path to minutes is going to be muddy, especially with the team acquiring Lars Eller from the Penguins on Tuesday. Don't be surprised if Milano ends up on waivers for the purpose of reassigning him to the minors once cleared to play.
