Hamonic won't return to Friday's game versus the Capitals due to an upper-body injury, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hamonic left the game three separate times but won't be able to overcome the final departure. He'll have a day off to recover before Sunday's game versus the Hurricanes. Expect Dalton Prout to enter the fold if Hamonic can't go.
