Suffers setback in recovery
General manager Chris Patrick said Friday that Milano (upper body) recently sustained a "significant setback" in his recovery, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports.
ANALYSIS
Milano has been sidelined since early November due to his upper-body injury, and the Capitals are still working to determine the next steps in his recovery process following his setback. He had resumed skating in a non-contact sweater in mid-January, but it certainly seems possible that his setback could keep him sidelined for the remainder of the regular season.

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.
