The Capitals have placed Carl Hagelin (upper-body) in LTIR.

Hagelin has been out since November 7th due to an upper-body injury and his move to LTIR means he'll have to miss at least four more games. The move helps the Capitals financially, as they're able to recall reinforcements from Hershey (AHL) to help fill the gaps left by injuries to Hagelin, Nic Dowd and Nicklas Backstrom.

Hagelin is day-to-day with an upper-body injury; will not play Saturday.

Hagelin will come out of the Capitals lineup vs. the Golden Knights, so look for Chandler Stephenson to move up to the third line with Lars Eller. Hagelin, who has just five assists in 17 games this season, should be considered questionable heading into Monday's game vs. the Coyotes.
