The Washington Capitals went from being nearly completely healthy to needing to make two call-ups after one boneheaded play against the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Jonas Siegenthaler and Richard Panik both suffered upper-body injuries on Wednesday after the two players crashed into each other off a faceoff. Both players left the game during the third period and went down the tunnel immediately. The Capitals announced Friday that Panik has been placed on long-term injured reserve while Siegenthaler will be a game-time decision.

In response to those injuries, the Capitals recalled Hershey Bears skaters Martin Fehervary and Travis Boyd to Washington. It’s unclear if one or both will play against the New York Rangers tonight.

The biggest news coming from the transactions this morning is Panik’s injury. The forward, who signed to a four-year, $11 million deal over the summer to replace Brett Connolly on the third line, will miss a minimum of 10 NHL games (or the next 24 days of the NHL season) after being placed on long-term injured reserve, per Cap Friendly. With Panik on LTIR, the Caps can replace him on the active roster with another player and exceed the salary cap.

Fehervary being the first defenseman to be called up is not a surprise. The Slovak blueliner was impressive during his three-game NHL stint to start the season and played well when paired together with Radko Gudas. Fehervary recently scored his first AHL goal with the Bears – a shorthanded marker against the Baby Penguins.

Meanwhile, Boyd, was recently named AHL Player of the Week after scoring four goals and leading the entire league in points after his first two games. Boyd played the entire season in Washington last season.

Michal Kempny, who is still rehabbing his torn left hamstring suffered last season, is also nearing a return as well.
