Copley (groin) had "muscle puled off the bone" during Game 4 of Hershey's series against Providence, JJ Reagan of CSN Mid-Atlantic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The grueling description notwithstanding, the injury certainly clouds offseason considerations the Capitals have to make with respect to their goaltending depth given that Copley, reacquired by the Capitals at the trade deadline from the St. Louis Blues, has been viewed as an insurance policy on potentially losing Philipp Grubauer to Vegas in June's Expansion Draft. The 25-year-old netminder is expected to make a full recovery, but his fantasy value remains pretty murky with this injury added to his place on the depth chart.
