The Capitals have just made a very concerning announcement about defenseman Joel Edmundson
In the last few seconds, the Washington Capitals organization has made a very worrying announcement about former Habs defenseman, Joel Edmundson. Indeed, he will not be practicing with the team today, having suffered an upper-body injury during an intra-team game on Sunday.
We strongly hope that it is not the notorious back injury that kept him out of play for several matches over the last two seasons. We should have more information about the severity of this soon as he will meet with the team's doctors later today.
"Joel Edmundson will not skate today, and he is absent due to an upper-body injury he suffered during Sunday's game. The defenseman is meeting with the medical team today to determine the severity of the injury." - Tarik El Bashir
One thing is certain, Kent Hughes traded the veteran at the right time, who seems to be on the decline and, unfortunately, is often injured. However, we hope that his injury is not serious and that he will be able to start the season with his teammates.
Now aged 30, the defenseman has spent the last three years with the Canadiens, amassing 32 points in 140 games. Joel Edmundson was traded to the Capitals this summer in exchange for a third and seventh-round pick in 2024.
