2 months agoWashington Capitals defenseman Joel Edmundson could be unavailable for the start of the season due to an upper-body injury. The big blue-liner was injured in Sunday's team scrimmage and hasn't been able to practice. Edmundson was picked up from Montreal for a seventh-round draft pick in the summer. He logged 13 points (two goals, 11 assists) in 61 games last season with the Canadiens, adding 149 blocks and 112 hits. Washington also lost Trevor van Riemsdyk from its blue line to injury in a preseason game over the weekend, but he has since been declared healthy and was back on the ice in Tuesday's practice.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBaller
