Ryan Leonard, a 20-year-old winger for the Washington Capitals, is likely to return for Game 4 of the playoffs against the Carolina Hurricanes. After sitting out Games 2 and 3, Leonard participated in morning skate but was not definitively confirmed in the lineup by head coach Spencer Carbery. Leonard has had limited success in the playoffs, with just one point in six games and averaging the lowest ice time on the team. Carbery noted the challenges faced by young players in the league, addressing expectations placed upon them.
Anytime a young player gets to take a step back, clear his mind, watch an NHL game, I believe it's helpful, even though sometimes they would disagree with that.
I would correct you right away and say, who expects him to score a goal? Because that wasn't my expectations at all.
