"Frank, who was recalled from the AHL's Hershey Bears earlier this week when Dylan Strome got injured, left the team's game against the Dallas Stars late in the third period after slamming into Stars winger Mikko Rantanen. He gingerly made his way off the ice after the collision with help from head athletic trainer Jason Serbus, appearing to hold his left arm at a 90-degree angle."
"At Thursday's practice, Justin Sourdif took Frank's spot with Lapierre and Beauvillier, and Sonny Milano filled in on the fourth line with Nic Dowd and Brandon Duhaime. With Frank on IR, the Capitals can recall an extra forward from the Bears to get back up to a full 23-man roster. "We put [Frank] on IR," Carbery said. "Yeah, so he's out with the upper-body injury. Do not [have a timeline].""
"Frank will be eligible to return to the Capitals seven days after he suffered his injury, meaning he will definitely miss Friday night's game against the New York Islanders and Saturday night's game against the Buffalo Sabres. His first potential return game would be on November 5 against the St. Louis Blues. In three games for the Capitals so far this season, Frank is averaging 11:18 of ice time and has recorded one assist."
Ethen Frank, recalled from the AHL's Hershey Bears, left the Capitals' game after colliding with Mikko Rantanen and appeared to hold his left arm at a 90-degree angle. Frank had played 8:48 of ice time and skated on the third line with Hendrix Lapierre and Anthony Beauvillier. At practice, Justin Sourdif replaced Frank with Lapierre and Beauvillier while Sonny Milano filled the fourth line. The Capitals placed Frank on injured reserve, enabling an extra forward recall. Frank is eligible to return seven days after the injury and will miss the next two scheduled games.
