Washington Capitals forward Tom Wilson left Friday's game against the Buffalo Sabres with a lower-body injury and did not return. He will be re-evaluated Saturday. 

The Capitals were already shorthanded going into Friday's contest, having lost Alexander Ovechkin, Evgeny Kuznetsov, Dmitry Orlov, and Ilya Samsonov due to COVID-19 protocols. 

Wilson, 26, leads the team with three goals in five games.


Dallas Stars captain Jamie Benn left Friday's game against the Nashville Predators with a lower-body injury of his own. He has been ruled out for the remainder of the game.

Benn, 31, left the contest late in the second period and did not return.
