Rasmus Sandin News: Earns helper in return

Sandin registered an assist in Wednesday's 6-1 win over the Blues.

Sandin missed five games due to an upper-body injury before returning Wednesday. He was a little sheltered with just 16:58 of ice time, but the Capitals can afford to manage his minutes with the strength of their blue line. The 25-year-old has three helpers, four shots on net, 16 hits, 11 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating over eight appearances.
