Hagelin is expected to undergo a second surgery to address his eye injury, Samantha Pell of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

At this point, Hagelin should be considered questionable at best to return this season. If he does get back into the lineup, the winger will look to get back over the 20-point threshold after missing that mark last season and figures to take on a bottom-six spot in the lineup.

Washington announced Sunday that Hagelin is out indefinitely after undergoing surgery on his left eye earlier in the week.

EDGE Analysis

Hagelin is scheduled to have additional follow-up examinations in the weeks to come before the Capitals determine a more precise timeline for his return. Before suffering the injury, Hagelin had provided three goals and 11 assists through 53 games.

Hagelin (eye) designated for long-term injured reserve Thursday, per Tom Gulitti of NHL.com.

EDGE Analysis

Hagelin has averaged 14:34 of ice time and registered seven points over the last 10 games. The 33-year-old underwent eye surgery Tuesday and currently does not have a clear timeline for recovery established. He will miss most, if not all, of March due to his LTIR status.

Hagelin had surgery on his injured eye Tuesday and will be seeing an additional doctor to determine the next steps according to general manager Brian MacLellan, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The fact that Hagelin immediately had surgery to repair his damaged eye after Tuesday's incident at practice certainly doesn't bode well for the winger being able to return any time soon. At this point, with two months remaining on the regular season, the 33-year-old Swede could be in danger of missing the rest of the campaign, though the team hasn't issued a specific recovery timeline. Fantasy players should expect Hagelin to be designated for injured reserve in the coming days.

Hagelin (eye) will be out for "an extended period of time," Samantha Pell of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hagelin took a stick to the face toward the end of Tuesday's practice and has suffered an eye injury as a result. The 33-year-old Swede has been a valuable member of Washington's highly utilized fourth line alongside Nic Dowd and Garnet Hathaway and his absence -- particularly on the penalty kill -- will surely be felt by a Capitals team that has struggled mightily to keep players in the lineup throughout the 2021-22 campaign.

Hagelin suffered a facial injury in practice Tuesday, per Tarik El-Bashir of The Athletic.

EDGE Analysis

Hagelin took a blow to the face from a stick towards the end of Tuesday's practice, El-Bashir adds. The 33-year-old forward has averaged 14:10 of ice time and distributed three assists over the last five games.

Hagelin had two assists and a plus-4 rating in Thursday's 5-3 win over Philadelphia.

EDGE Analysis

Washington's fourth line carried the team to victory in this one, and Hagelin was a key contributor. He assisted on the game-tying and game-winning goals scored 1:45 apart by Garnet Hathaway. The speedster has a modest 14 points in 50 games, but most of Hagelin's value comes from his responsible defensive game.

Hagelin tallied a goal and added two shots during Thursday's 5-2 win over the Canadiens.

EDGE Analysis

Hagelin is on a bit of a tear with a goal and four points over his last four games. The Swedish winger is well matched on the fourth line alongside Nic Dowd and Garnet Hathaway but does not generate offense consistently enough to be of much help in most fantasy circles.

Hagelin finished with two shots in a 4-2 loss to the Canucks on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Hagelin had missed the previous two games under COVID-19 protocols before returning Sunday. The 33-year-old has just two points and 15 shots over his last 10 games in what a slow season offensively for the speedster.

Hagelin exited the NHL's COVID-19 protocols Sunday, per JJ Regan of NBC Sports Washington.

EDGE Analysis

The 33-year-old has averaged 14:04 of ice time and recorded two goals and five assists over 36 appearances this season. Brett Leason is a likely candidate to be reassigned from the active roster upon Hagelin's return.
