Sonny Milano is out today with an upper-body injury. Told it's unrelated to the injury that kept him out for nearly all of last season."
"Milano played in the Capitals' first two preseason games, recording a league-high six points (4g, 2a). The veteran winger is in an intense competition for a forward spot on the Capitals' eventual final 23-man roster, fighting with players like Hendrix Lapierre, who also has six points in two preseason games, Ivan Miroshnichenko, Andrew Cristall, and Ethen Frank. Head coach Spencer Carbery was largely unconcerned with Milano's absence, hinting that whatever kept him out of action is minor."
Sonny Milano, 29, is not cleared to skate due to a new upper-body injury that is unrelated to the issue that sidelined him for most of last season. Milano recorded a league-high six points (4g, 2a) in the Capitals' first two preseason games while competing for a forward spot on the final 23-man roster. Head coach Spencer Carbery indicated the absence appears minor and expected a quick return. Milano played just three games in 2024-25 and spent time on long-term injured reserve. The 2025-26 season is the final year of his contract before unrestricted free agency.
