Latest news
Frank was scratched for the 10th time in 12 games in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Predators.
Frank made a pair of appearances when the Capitals were dealing with injuries earlier in October, but he has no clear path to playing time. He's also competing with Ivan Miroshnichenko for a chance to play if an opening pops up. Frank had 24 points in 62 regular-season outings in 2025-26, but the Capitals' offseason additions have greatly reduced his opportunities in 2026-27.

Frank (lower body) will be a healthy scratch against the Flyers on Tuesday, according to Sammi Silber of The Hockey News.
Frank missed three games due to his lower-body injury. Aliaksei Protas is currently contending with an upper-body issue, so Frank is the next man up at forward for the Capitals, but he'll serve as the 13th forward in Tuesday's divisional matchup.

Frank (lower body) will miss Saturday's game against Vegas, per Capitals radio announcer John Walton.
Frank is set to miss his third straight game. He has 12 goals and 24 points in 60 outings in 2025-26. Frank's next chance to return will come Tuesday versus Philadelphia.
RotoWire via ESPN · Mar 28
Frank (lower body) wore a non-contact jersey during the morning skate, per Capitals radio announcer John Walton, which suggests that he won't play Thursday against Utah.
Frank also missed Tuesday's 3-0 loss to St. Louis. He has 12 goals and 24 points in 60 outings in 2025-26. Frank will likely serve in a bottom-six role once he's ready to return.
RotoWire via ESPN · Mar 26
Frank (lower body) is day-to-day and won't play against St. Louis on Tuesday, according to Sammi Silber of The Hockey News.
Frank will miss at least one game after being injured in Sunday's 3-2 overtime loss to Colorado. He has produced 12 goals, 24 points, 90 shots on net, 43 blocked shots and 50 hits through 60 appearances this season. With Frank unavailable, Ivan Miroshnichenko will suit up versus the Blues on Tuesday.
RotoWire via ESPN · Mar 24
Frank (lower body) left Sunday's game against the Avalanche in the first period and won't return.
The injury occurred after Frank collided hard into the post while driving to the net in the first period. The 28-year-old has 24 points (12 goals, 12 assists) in 59 games on the season. It remains to be seen if he'll be forced to miss more time than the rest of Sunday. If he doesn't suit up Tuesday against the Blues, it would be his first absence from the lineup since November.
