Washington Capitals right winger Tom Wilson is expected to miss six to eight months after undergoing surgery to reconstruct the torn ACL in his left knee.

The team announced Wednesday that Wilson had a successful ACL replacement procedure a day earlier -- four weeks after injuring the knee while trying to avoid a hit in Washington's playoff opener against Florida.

The long rehabilitation time frame means Wilson is on track to miss at least the first month of the season, if not more.

Jordan Binnington Suffers First Period Injury In Game 3

May 22, 2022 12:25 AM

St. Louis Blues goaltender Jordan Binnington left Game 3 of their series against the Colorado Avalanche with an injury in the first period Saturday night.

With the Blues leading 1-0, Binnington was replaced by backup Ville Husso just 6:45 into the game in St. Louis. Husso returned to start the second period and Colorado rallied to win 5-2, taking a 2-1 series lead.

The injury happened right after Avalanche forward Artturi Lehkonen took a shot that Binnington blocked with his glove. With the puck loose, Blues defenseman Calle Rosen and Colorado center Nazem Kadri crashed the net. Both players ended up on top of Binnington.
