Milano was designated for waivers Wednesday, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Through 31 contests this year, Milano has generated four goals and four helpers. However, he remains pointless with the man advantage despite logging 1:03 of power-play ice time per game. His $1.9 million cap hit could be of interest to some teams. If Milano clears waivers, he figures to head to AHL Hershey.

Milano (personal) has rejoined the Capitals, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Milano didn't play in Washington's 4-2 win over Nashville on Feb. 5 for personal reasons. He has four goals and eight points in 31 outings in 2025-26. Although Milano is an option to play when Washington's schedule resumes next Wednesday against Philadelphia, he might end up being a healthy scratch.

Milano has been ruled out for Thursday's game against Nashville due to personal reasons, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Milano appeared in each of the last three games, recording an assist, a hit and a minus-1 rating during that time. He'll be unavailable for the Capitals' final game before the Olympic break, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him back in action when the team resumes play in late February.

Milano logged an assist and two shots on goal in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Hurricanes.

EDGE Analysis

Milano had been scratched for the previous seven games, but he got into the lineup as Connor McMichael (upper body) landed on injured reserve. The 29-year-old Milano has earned eight points, 33 shots on net and an even plus-minus rating over 29 appearances in a part-time role this season. He may get more playing time leading into the Olympic break -- McMichael is week-to-week and his status after the break is uncertain at this time.

Milano played for the fifth time over eight games in January in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

Milano hasn't registered a point yet this month, adding five shots on net and three hits in a bottom-six role. The 29-year-old is getting a steadier run of time due to the injuries that have sidelined Tom Wilson (lower body) and Justin Sourdif (upper body). Once the Capitals are closer to full healthy, Milano is likely to be a healthy scratch rather frequently. He has seven points, 31 shots on net and a plus-1 rating through 28 outings this season.

Milano scored a goal and added two PIM in Wednesday's 7-1 win over the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

Milano has done well for himself lately with three goals and two assists over nine consecutive games in the lineup. The 29-year-old might be at risk of being a healthy scratch once Justin Sourdif (lower body) is ready to play again, especially now that Nic Dowd has returned from an upper-body injury. On the year, Milano has four goals, two assists, 22 shots on net and a plus-2 rating through 17 appearances.

Milano scored two goals, one the game-winner, in Thursday's 8-4 victory over Montreal.

EDGE Analysis

The 29-year-old winger potted the Caps' fifth and eighth goals of the night, as he produced his first multi-goal performance since late in the 2023-24 regular season. Milano remains a talented enigma, delivering three goals for his only points in 10 games this season while mainly being stuck on the fourth line.

Milano scored a goal in Saturday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Sabres.

EDGE Analysis

Milano's twine finder was his first score since the 2023-24 season. In doing so, he tied the game at three goals apiece to eventually force overtime. After missing the majority of last season with an upper-body injury, Milano's goal was a welcome sight for Capitals fans. In 2023-24, Milano posted 15 goals in 49 games, and if he can return to a fraction of that goal-scoring pace, he could earn more playing time moving forward.

Milano (upper body) will draw into the lineup for Thursday's preseason game against Boston.

EDGE Analysis

Milano had no points and four shots in three regular-season outings with Washington in 2024-25. Although he might make the Capitals' roster, Milano isn't guaranteed to be a regular in the lineup this campaign.

Milano (upper body) will not be in action versus Columbus on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Milano played in just three regular-season games for the Caps last year and a mere 49 contests the year before. As such, perhaps it's not surprising to see the 29-year-old winger once again dealing with an injury. With Milano entering the final year of his three-year deal signed back in February of 2023, he'll need to prove he can stay healthy for a full campaign if he wants to earn another NHL contract.
