ARLINGTON, Va. — T.J. Oshie hopes to play next season for the Washington Capitals but only if he and doctors can find a solution to his chronic back problems. Oshie has been hampered by injuries over the past couple of years and played the final playoff game with a broken left hand. He was noticeably the last player on the ice after the Capitals were eliminated in a sweep by the New York Rangers. General manager Brian MacLellan says the team will support Oshie whatever he decides to do.
