Capitals' Connor Brown to miss the remainder of the season with lower-body injury
The Washington Capitals announced some tough news on Tuesday afternoon as forward Connor Brown is set to miss the next six-to-eight months due to recovery from a torn ACL.
He suffered the injury during a game against the Vancouver Canucks on October 17th and has been out of the lineup ever since. The Capitals added that Brown underwent a procedure to reconstruct his ACL.
The Toronto native was traded to Washington over the summer from the Ottawa Senators in exchange for a second round pick in the 2024 NHL Entry Draft. He went on to appear in four games for the Capitals before sustaining the injury, going point-less and was a minus-three.
Brown, 28, is in the final year of his contract and is set to become an unrestricted free agent on July 1st. Given that he's played such a small sample size this season and that he has a long recovery from a big surgery, it will be interesting to see what teams will take a shot at signing the two-time 20+ goal scorer.
