Dmitry Orlov - D - Washington Capitals
Dec. 7, 2012 - 12:35 PM ET

Dmitry Orlov suffered an upper-body injury Friday night, but it doesn't appear serious.

The Capitals' defenseman was forced from the Hershey Bears' 2-1 win. "I don't think it's anything serious. But he obviously wasn't able to return to the game," coach Mark French said. "We'll probably know better once I'm briefed [by medical personnel]." Orlov has nine points in 18 games.
