Washington Capitals forward Tom Wilson is day-to-day with a lower-body injury, the team announced Saturday.

According to Mike Vogel of NHL.com, Wilson came out for the start warmups but left before line rushes. T.J. Oshie will take his spot on the top line against the Carolina Hurricanes.

Wilson appeared to suffer the injury during Friday’s 2-1 win over the Columbus Blue Jackets after colliding with forward Ryan MacInnis.
