In this photo taken Nov. 25, 2016, Washington Capitals center Zachary Sanford (82) looks on during the second period of an NHL hockey game against the Buffalo Sabres in Washington. If there was ever a good time for the Washington Capitals to go through an injury, it’s now.That’s no knock on Andre Burakovsky, who was a point-a-game player the last 14 games before a hand injury sidelined him until mid-to-late March. But without the 22-year-old forward, the Capitals get a chance to see what they have in youngsters like Zach Sanford, Jakub Vrana and others in case they encounter more injury adversity in the playoffs.

FILE - In this Oct. 18, 2016, file photo, Washington Capitals goalie Braden Holtby, left, waves at the crowd as he was honored for his Vezina Trophy season, before the Capitals' NHL hockey game against the Colorado Avalanche in Washington. Also pictured are Holtby's wife, Brandi, second from left; son Ben, bottom left, and daughter Belle, bottom right; Dick Patrick, second from right, Capitals president, and team owner Ted Leonsis, right. A five-day bye week for each team is a new wrinkle added to the NHL this season so players can get a breather during the second half of a grueling, 82-game grind. “Our schedules, you don’t really get to take vacations ever, so it’s good for the families _ spend some time with wife, girlfriend, kids, whatever you have,” Capitals goaltender Braden Holtby said. “It’s good for family life, and playing is better when family’s good.” (AP Photo/Nick Wass, File)
