Forward Andre Burakovsky was placed on injured reserve by the Washington Capitals on Tuesday because of an upper-body injury.
Burakovsky, 22, has four points (one goal, three assists) in nine games this season. He had 35 points (12 goals, 23 assists) in 64 games in 2016-17, and has 99 points (39 goals, 60 assists) in 205 games since entering the NHL in 2014. Burakovsky was Washington's first-round pick (No. 23) in the 2013 NHL Draft.
The Capitals recalled forward Chandler Stephenson from Hershey of the American Hockey League.
Stephenson, Washington's third-round choice (No. 77) in the 2012 NHL Draft, has no points in 13 NHL games with the Capitals, four last season and nine in 2015-16. He leads Hershey with five goals in six games this season.
