Oshie, who didn't play in 2024-25 due to a chronic back injury, announced his retirement from the NHL on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Oshie spent the first seven years of his career with St. Louis, followed by a nine-year stint with Washington, ultimately helping the Capitals win the Stanley Cup in 2018. The 2005 first-round selection (No. 24 overall) racked up 302 goals and 393 assists over 1,010 career regular-season games between the two clubs. The right-shot winger also earned 34 goals and 69 points over 106 career playoff outings.

Oshie will be put on long-term injured reserve due to a chronic back injury that's expected to cost him the entire 2024-25 campaign, per Tom Gulitti of NHL.com on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Oshie had 12 goals and 25 points in 52 regular-season games with Washington in 2023-24. While the possibility of him someday returning to the NHL hasn't been ruled out, Oshie will turn 38 on Dec. 23 and is set to become an unrestricted free agent in the summer of 2025. If he has played in his final game, then he'll be hanging up his skates after scoring 302 goals and 695 points across 1,010 career regular-season contests. He also won the Stanley Cup with Washington in 2018 and played a vital role in that playoff run, supplying eight goals and 21 points in 24 outings.

Oshie tallied a goal and an assist in Tuesday's 2-1 victory over Philadelphia.

EDGE Analysis

Oshie set up Alex Ovechkin's opening goal in the first period before depositing the eventual game-winner into an empty net in the third, clinching a 2-1 Capitals win and the final spot in the playoffs. The 37-year-old Oshie had gone 10 contests without a goal, logging four assists in that span. He'll wrap up the regular season with 12 goals and 25 points in 52 games.

EDGE Analysis

Making his return from an upper-body injury that cost him four games, Oshie scooped up a Detroit turnover in the neutral zone and fed Alex Ovechkin for what proved to be the game-winning goal late in the second period. The 37-year-old Oshie has once again had trouble staying on the ice in 2023-24, playing only 48 games -- the fourth straight season he'll end up playing less than 60 -- and managing just 11 goals and 23 points.

Oshie (upper body) is expected to be in the lineup for Tuesday's tilt versus the Red Wings, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Oshie missed the last four games with the injury, which appears to be a nagging issue. He has also endured absences of seven and two contests since late February while playing nine times in between. The 37-year-old winger will take a top-six role once again and should also feature on the power play.

Oshie (upper body) will be a game-time decision versus Detroit on Tuesday, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Oshie has missed the last four games due to his upper-body issue. If he's able to return, the 37-year-old vet should slot into a middle-six role against the Red Wings.

Oshie (upper body) will travel for the Capitals' two-game road trip, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Oshie is far from a lock to get into the lineup but seems to be trending in the right direction ahead of Tuesday's clash with the Red Wings. Injuries have impacted the winger's recent availability, as he's missed 13 of the last 22 contests, which no doubt has factored into him scoring just once in his nine appearances in that span. Still, if Oshie is given the all-clear, he should be in the mix for a top-six role, likely replacing Michael Sgarbossa for a second-line spot.

Oshie (upper body) won't play Sunday against Ottawa, per Tarik El-Bashir of Monumental Sports Network.
