Poti has a back injury.

Poti is likely out for the rest of the 2013 season.

Poti returned on Sunday against the Rangers.

Poti was out with an upper-body injury.

Poti is day to day with an upper-body injury.

He has one assist in five games.

Poti is back after missing two years because of injuries. The Washington Capitals defenseman was in the lineup for Saturday night's season opener against the Tampa Bay Lightning.

Poti has battled physical issues, including a lingering groin injury. Poti recently passed a physical and scored one goal in two games during a conditioning stint at Hershey of the AHL. The 6-foot-3, 190-pound Poti had last appeared in the lineup for an NHL game with Washington at Tampa Bay on Jan. 12, 2011.

The Capitals have recalled Poti from Hershey of the AHL, bringing back someone who hasn't played in an NHL game in two years because of injuries.

The 6-foot-3, 190-pound Poti has not appeared in the NHL since playing for Washington at Tampa Bay on Jan. 12, 2011. He missed the rest of the 2011-12 season and all of last season, and general manager George McPhee sounded a pessimistic note in May, saying Poti ``may have played his last game in the NHL.''
