Capitals' Hendrix Lapierre: Adds assist Saturday
Lapierre registered an assist and two blocked shots in Saturday's 6-5 win over the Devils.
Lapierre has turned things around with four helpers over his last six games. He's played regularly since Alex Ovechkin (fibula) was hurt, at the expense of Jakub Vrana, and it looks like steady playing time is paying off. Lapierre is still stuck in a bottom-six role with minimal power-play usage. He has six helpers, 17 shots on net, 11 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating over 18 appearances, so he'll still need to take a couple of steps up on offense to be considered in fantasy.

Capitals' Andrew Mangiapane: Opens scoring in win
Mangiapane scored a goal on three shots in Saturday's 6-5 win over the Devils.
This was Mangiapane's second goal in the last three games. He scored four times and added three helpers over 15 contests in November, which is roughly in line with expectations for his offense. The veteran winger has 10 points, 41 shots on net, 18 hits and a plus-7 rating across 24 outings this season, and he's holding his own in a third-line role.

Capitals' Jakob Chychrun: Finds twine on power play
Chychrun scored a power-play goal and added two PIM in Saturday's 6-5 win over the Devils.
Chychrun scored at 10:56 of the second period, cashing in on the second half of Dawson Mercer's double-minor for high-sticking. The red-hot Chychrun has three goals and four assists over his last four games, including a power-play point in each contest in that span. He's up to a total of eight goals, seven helpers, 38 shots on net, 25 blocked shots, 16 PIM, 14 hits and a plus-10 rating through 19 appearances. That's solid all-around production from the blue line, even with his average ice time (19:58 per game) at its lowest since Chychrun's rookie year.

Capitals' Connor McMichael: Scores power-play goal in win
McMichael scored a goal on three shots in Saturday's 6-5 win over the Devils.
McMichael ended November with nine goals and five assists over 15 games, though just five of those points came over the last eight games. The Capitals shuffled their lineup a bit for Saturday's game, with McMichael and Tom Wilson joining a line with Dylan Strome. For the season, McMichael has 14 goals, 10 helpers, 71 shots on net and a plus-10 rating over 24 contests in a breakout campaign.

Capitals' Rasmus Sandin: Two PP points against Jersey
Sandin scored a goal and added an assist, both on the power play, in Saturday's 6-5 win over the Devils.
Both points came in the second period as Washington struck three times in total with the man advantage. The power-play points were the first of the season for Sandin, while the multi-point performance was his first since Oct. 29. The 24-year-old has been a consistent contributor for the Caps, though, and he's on pace for a career-best campaign with four goals and 13 points through 24 games while adding 43 blocked shots, 27 shots on net, 24 hits and a sparkling plus-18 rating.

Capitals' Taylor Raddysh: Two-point effort Saturday
Raddysh produced a goal and an assist in Saturday's 6-5 win over the Devils.
Both points came 10 seconds apart in the third period as the Capitals' second line broke open a 4-4 tie. It's the first multi-point performance of the season for Raddysh, while the tally snapped an eight-game goal drought. Through 24 contests on the season, the 26-year-old winger has contributed four goals and 11 points.

Capitals' Pierre-Luc Dubois: Two points including game-winner
Dubois scored the game-winning goal and added a power-play assist in Saturday's 6-5 victory over the Devils.
After helping to set up Connor McMichael in the second period, Dubois potted Washington's final tally of the night midway through the third, firing the puck into a wide-open cage after Aliaksei Protas stole it from Jake Allen behind the New Jersey net. It was the first game-winning goal as a member of the Capitals for Dubois, who has three goals and 16 points in 24 games with his new club.

Capitals' John Carlson: Three helpers in Saturday's win
Carlson notched three assists, one on the power play, and fired a team-high five shots on net in Saturday's 6-5 win over the Devils.
The veteran blueliner picked up a helper in each period as he recorded his first multi-point performance since Nov. 9. Carlson wraps up the month with a goal and 11 points in 15 contests. He's on pace to top 60 points in a season for the first time since 2021-22.

Capitals' Charlie Lindgren: Escapes Jersey with seventh win
Lindgren made 22 saves in Saturday's 6-5 win over the Devils.
Washington led 4-2 heading into the third period, but New Jersey dominated a wild final frame and Lindgren did just enough to come away with the victory. While the five goals allowed were a season high for the 30-year-old netminder, Lindgren has still won four of his last five starts. On the season, he sports a 7-5-0 record in 12 outings with a 2.95 GAA and .890 save percentage.

Capitals' Charlie Lindgren: Set to face New Jersey
Lindgren is expected to start in Saturday's road game against New Jersey, per Bill Spaulding of MSG Network.
Lindgren allowed four goals on 28 shots en route to a 5-4 win over the Lightning in his last start Wednesday. He has a 6-5-0 record, 2.76 GAA and .897 save percentage in 11 outings in 2024-25. New Jersey ranks ninth offensively with 3.42 goals per game.

Capitals' Alexander Alexeyev: Can't get into lineup
Alexeyev was scratched for the 10th game in a row when he sat out Friday's 5-4 overtime win over the Islanders.
Alexeyev's five appearances this year came consecutively from Oct. 31 to Nov. 8. He recorded 10 blocked shots and six hits in that span. The 25-year-old defenseman hasn't had a chance to play since the Capitals got Jakob Chychrun and Matt Roy back from injuries sustained in October. Alexeyev would require waivers to be assigned to AHL Hershey, so it appears the Capitals are content with having him and Dylan McIlrath on board with the big club as extra options on the blue line.

Capitals' Ivan Miroshnichenko: Snags helper Friday
Miroshnichenko notched an assist in Friday's 5-4 overtime win over the Islanders.
Miroshnichenko has a goal and an assist over four contests so far this season. He's spent much of his time on the fourth line, though he's also occasionally seen power-play usage. The 20-year-old winger has a chance to audition for a longer stay in the NHL while Alex Ovechkin (fibula) is out, but it'll likely be other forwards who get the opportunity to fill in for top-six minutes.

Capitals' Nic Dowd: Snaps skid
Dowd tallied a goal and four shots during Friday's 5-4 overtime win over the Islanders.
Dowd had been mired in a slump with just one goal in his last 11 games prior to lighting the lamp in the first period on Friday. The 34-year-old is an invaluable depth forward and defensive specialist for the Capitals, but the Alabama native has yet to produce the kind of offensive numbers fantasy managers covet.

Capitals' Brandon Duhaime: Bags apple Friday
Duhaime registered an assist, two shots and five hits during Friday's 5-4 overtime win over the Islanders.
Duhaime has quickly found a home on Washington's fourth line with four goals and eight points in just 23 games - matching his offensive output from last season in 39 fewer contests. The rugged winger has the potential to set new career highs if he can keep his production up, but Duhaime does not yet produce offense with enough consistency to garner much fantasy consideration.

Capitals' Trevor van Riemsdyk: Bags apple Friday
Van Riemsdyk tallied an assist and logged 17:24 of ice time during Friday's 5-4 overtime win over the Islanders.
Van Riemsdyk has been quite productive in recent weeks with four assists in his last eight games and 10 points to start the 2024-25 season. The 33-year-old has only surpassed 20 points in a season once in his career, but if Van Riemsdyk can continue to produce offense with some consistency, he could become a worthwhile fantasy asset in deeper formats given his hot start.

Capitals' Jakob Chychrun: Rips game-winning goal
Chychrun tallied a goal, and assist and a plus-2 rating during Friday's 5-4 overtime win over the Islanders.
Chychrun skated coast-to-coast before wristing the game-winner past Islanders netminder Semyon Varlamov in overtime. The 26-year-old has roared out of the starting gate with seven goals and 14 points in 18 games. Chychrun has a good chance to top his career-high of 41 points if he can stay healthy and is one of the better fantasy blueliners thus far in the 2024-25 season.
