The Washington Capitals have lost important roster piece Connor Brown for what will likely be the entire 2022-23 campaign.

While Brown may not be the most exciting name, he has been playing on a line with Alexander Ovechkin for the bulk of this season, and has been a staple in Washington's top-six.

Brown tore his ACL during a game against the Vancouver Canucks, and had successful surgery this week.

Hopefully the Capitals will be able to continue their playoff hopes without Brown on the roster.
