After every team is eliminated in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, we often get the revelation of brutal injuries, but it's going to be tough what TJ Oshie went through this season. After the Capitals were swept by the New York Rangers, the veteran forward revealed that he played through a broken hand in this series, although that injury was nothing compared to he went through all season long.
Despite the back injury, Oshie managed to play in 52 games during the regular season, with the play continuing in the playoffs where he averaged 18 minutes of ice time per game. The injury however has put a question mark over Oshie's future, as he revealed in an interview that he will step away from the game to have his injuries looked at, with no guarantee that he'll play in 2024-25.
The 37-year old clearly has a desire to continue playing, but won't do so until his back is fully healed, so this will be an interesting story to keep an eye on for Capitals fans this summer.
