Capitals Announce Connor Brown Out Long-Term (VIDEO)

Whether or not Brown requires surgery is yet to be determined, however the issue is clearly on his right leg, as shown by the video of the injury.

No timetable has been released for his return, simply a 'long-term' tag. For now, Brown's $3.6 million cap-hit is headed to long-term injured reserve along with Carl Hagelin.

Brown was acquired by Washington from the Ottawa Senators in exchange for a second-round pick in the upcoming NHL Draft. In four games with the Caps, Brown has zero points, a -3 rating, and a busted leg.

Rough start with the new club.
