Capitals' Joe Snively: Shifted to LTIR
Rotowire
Snively (wrist) was moved to long-term injured reserve Tuesday, per CapFriendly.
Snively was already expected to be out of action until mid-April at the earliest, so the change in status won't impact when he can be activated to play. With Lars Eller (COVID-19 protocols) also unavailable, Washington needed the extra cap space to bring Mike Vecchione up from the minors. Prior to getting hurt, Snively was rolling with four goals and three assists in 12 games and was certainly making his case for a full-time NHL roster spot heading into the 2022-23 campaign.
