Nylander out for the season: Capitals C Michael Nylander will undergo surgery Wednesday on his torn left rotator cuff and will miss three to six months, according to the Washington Post. Nylander has reportedly been playing in pain for more than a month and was unable to sleep because of the injury. (Updated 01/15/2008).
Injury Report
Shoulder - Probable for start of training camp (Updated - 5/10/08)
Fantasy Analysis
Nylander had 37 points in 40 games this season, and was playing pretty well recently with four multi-point games in his last six. Considering how bad his shoulder was, those numbers say a lot about the heart of the former Islanders forward. He was playing well with Alex Ovechkin earlier this season (well, who wouldn't?), but was playing on the second line when his season ended and was about 15 points behind his pace of last season. Feel free to drop him in all formats at this time. (Updated 01/15/2008).
