Likely to be ready at training camp
Milano (upper body) is feeling good and is expected to be ready for training camp in September, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Milano suffered the injury in early November and missed the remainder of the season. The 29-year-old played in only three regular-season games and was unable to hit the scoresheet. Milano suffered a "significant setback" in early March, but he seems to have recovered and is expected to challenge for a role as a bottom-six forward in training camp.

Milano has always been a strong shooter, but he was fantastic last season with 15 goals on 50 shots (30 percent) last season, a rate that isn't close to sustainable. Still, it was his third straight season with 10-plus goals, and he averaged 0.50 points per game during that stretch despite mostly being stuck in a bottom-six role. The 28-year-old winger is slated for similar duties next year with the Capitals but should handle power-play work once again. Thus, Milano maintains usage in deeper formats.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Slow start in camp
Milano has gotten off to a slow start this preseason, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Per Capitals coach Spencer Carbery, Milano "needs to ramp it up" before the start of the regular season. While the winger's roster spot appears safe heading into the season, he could see a diminished role early in the year. Milano tallied a career-high 15 goals and 23 points in 49 games last season.
