The Washington Capitals made key roster changes ahead of their game against the St. Louis Blues. Defenseman Jakob Chychrun has been activated from injured reserve, while left-winger Sonny Milano has been placed on IR due to an upper-body injury.

Center Michael Sgarbossa has been recalled from the AHL's Hershey Bears. Chychrun's return comes after he missed five games with a lower-body injury sustained against the New York Rangers. The Capitals currently hold a solid position in the Metropolitan Division.
