The Washington Capitals have placed defenseman Jakob Chychrun on injured reserve due to a lower-body injury, recalling Vincent Iorio from the AHL’s Hershey Bears. Chychrun's injury occurred during a recent game against the New York Rangers, and he will miss at least seven days.

Meanwhile, Iorio, who has shown promise in the AHL, will join the lineup as the Capitals prepare for back-to-back games against the Columbus Blue Jackets and Carolina Hurricanes.
