Capitals recall Sean Collins

The Capitals recalled defenseman Sean Collins and he’s expected to travel with the team on its trip to western Canada, which they leave for Tuesday.

Collins’ recall is likely one for precautionary reasons. Mike Green twisted his right ankle against Detroit and based on comments made by his agent, Craig Oster, it seems likely that the two-time Norris Trophy finalist will play in Edmonton. That is also dependent upon how he fares over the next few days, though.
