Laich, who has been skating with the Caps and testing out his groin, cannot return too fast and make things worse.
"Just hoping he can get in the lineup soon. It’d be nice to have him,' general manager George McPhee said. "Certainly Brooks would be a big help right now, but we’ll have to wait a little bit longer. He’s improving and hopefully we’ll see him soon."
How soon is not clear. Coach Adam Oates said this week that he knows from experience how finicky groin injuries can be

Brooks Laich (groin) will be on Florida trip w #Caps. As of 5 minutes ago Adam Oates was unsure if he'd been cleared for contact yet.

Laich was on the ice for practice today.

Nice! As someone who owns AO, Backstrom, Carlson, and Ribeiro in my pool the character and work ethic of Laich can only help throughout that lineup.

Thanks for the update.

I LAICH IT TOO!

The Caps need him in the locker room badly. I still think he should have been the Captain when it went to Ovi.

Brooks Laich has been cleared for full contact in practice. As of yesterday it sounds like he is still testing out his hopefully recovered groin injury to make sure he is fully recovered. There is still no timeline for his return to the starting lineup.

from Capitals Insider Katie Carrera:

There’s a delicate balance between helping Laich progress and risking a set-back but Oates said the Capitals will work to find the appropriate amount of contact to gauge the forward’s progress.

“We’ll get some drills where he gets to engage and minor contact,” Oates said. “Really, he’s going to be on the ice so guarded and protecting it that the real test will be when he gets that bump when he’s not expecting it.”

Laich has repeatedly decline to comment on his recovery status and opted not to discuss his health again on Wednesday. It’s a frustrating injury for any player, particularly someone like Laich who rarely misses game time because of an injury.
