Capitals forward Tomas Fleischmann out with blood clot in leg

"ARLINGTON, Va. - Washington Capitals forward Tomas Fleischmann will miss the start of the regular season with a blood clot in his leg.

The team thinks the clot might have formed during Fleischmann's long flight home to the Czech Republic at the end of last season. Coach Bruce Boudreau said Sunday that Fleischmann is expected to return to practice in early October."

Pretty serious. Let's hope he enjoys a quick recovery.

Pretty serious, indeed. I like the Caps (as long as they aren't playing the Sabres, or in their way in a playoff spot hunt heh), so I want to see him back and healthy soon.
