Hagelin (upper body) worked in a no-contact capacity Monday, Mike Vogel of the Capitals' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hagelin worked on the third line during practice. The 31-year-old is expected to be activated from long-term injured reserve and suit up Tuesday against the Sharks as long as he doesn't suffer a setback before then. Hagelin has missed 11 games and recorded five points over 17 contests before his injury.

Hagelin (upper body) will be back in the lineup versus the Sharks on Dec. 3, Tarik El-Bashir of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Per the conditions of his placement on long-term injured reserve, Hagelin can't be activated prior to the matchup with San Jose. The Swedish winger will likely be utilized in a bottom-six role and will no doubt be eager to score his first goal of the 2019-20 campaign. Beck Malenstyn figures to be the odd man out once Hagelin is taken off IR and will be shipped back down to the minors.

Hagelin (upper body) was designated for long-term injured reserve Wednesday will be out of the lineup until at least the Caps' Dec. 3 clash with San Jose.

EDGE Analysis

As a result of his placement on long-term IR, Hagelin will miss the team's next five games. Injuries to Nic Dowd (upper body) and Nicklas Backstrom (upper body), along with the potential suspension of Garnet Hathaway, forced the club into this move in order to stay roster and cap compliant. Michael Sgarbossa and Beck Malenstyn were promoted from AHL Hershey in order to bolster the club's depth up front.

EDGE Analysis

Hagelin missed Monday's game against Anaheim, and has yet to shed his non-contact jersey at practice, evidencing he's not ready for a return. He's still considered day-to-day from coach Todd Reirden, and once cleared to play, the veteran is expected to slot into his usual third-line role.

Hagelin (upper body) will not be in the lineup against Anaheim on Monday, JJ Regan of NBC Sports Washington reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hagelin was still sporting a non-contact sweater at Monday's practice session, though coach Todd Reirden considers the winger day-to-day. Once cleared to play, the Swede will likely slot into a third-line role and bump Garnet Hathaway back to the press box.

Hagelin (upper body) practiced Friday in a non-contact sweater, JJ Regan of NBC Sports Washington reports.

EDGE Analysis

Considering Hagelin hasn't been cleared for contact, he can safely be ruled out for Friday's clash with Montreal and should be considered a longshot to play versus Boston on Saturday. The winger is still looking for his first goal of the 2019-20 campaign, but he has managed five assists and 27 shots in 17 games. With Hagelin on the shelf along with Nic Dowd (upper body), the Caps will need to promote a player from the minors ahead of Friday's tilt.

Hagelin (upper body) will not travel with the team for Wednesday's showdown with the Flyers, JJ Regan of NBC Sports Washington reports.

EDGE Analysis

This is the first game Hagelin will miss this season. It doesn't sound like the 31-year-old winger is dealing with anything major, so he'll set his focus on getting right for Monday's matchup against the Coyotes. Hagelin has five points over 17 games this year.

Hagelin produced an assist and two shots on goal in Friday's 6-5 shootout win over the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

Hagelin set up the first of two third-period rockets by Michal Kempny. While still searching for his first goal, the speedy winger has five assists in his last six games, which accounts for all of his offense this year.
