Capitals' John Carlson: Five-game, five-assist streak
Carlson tallied an assist Thursday in a 4-3 win over Philadelphia.
He has assists (five) in five consecutive games, which matches his best streak this season. Carlson continues to pace toward yet another 50-plus point campaign while blocking a lot of shots. His 3.6 shooting percentage is low this season -- his career average is 6.3. Carlson may see an uptick in goal scoring as Jakob Chychrun's pace slows -- his 12.0 shooting percentage is well above his 7.3 percent career average, and the younger defender has recently gone through his longest goal drought (seven games) of the season.

Capitals' Taylor Raddysh: Two apples keep doctor away
Raddysh had two assists in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Flyers.
Raddysh has three points (one goal, two assists) in his last three games and 19 points, including 14 apples, in 53 games played this season. Prior to that, he had just one assist in his previous 15 games. Raddysh doesn't put up enough production in other categories to be fantasy relevant, but it's still a nice night for the pride of Caledon.

Capitals' Dylan Strome: Five-game, six-point streak
Strome had an assist in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Flyers.
He's on a five-game, six-point scoring streak that includes three goals and three assists. Strome's assist came on Alex Ovechkin's goal that moved him within 16 of a new NHL all-time record. The center's dream season continues -- he has 52 points (15 goals, 37 assists), including 21 on the power play, in 54 games this season.

Capitals' Connor McMichael: Eight points in last nine games
McMichael scored a goal Thursday in a 4-3 win over the Flyers.
He put the Caps up 2-1 early in the second period when he redirected an Aliaksei Protas pass past Ivan Fedotov. It was McMichael's 19th goal -- a new career high -- and 40th point of the season (54 games). He has eight points (two goals, six assists) and 14 shots in his last nine games.

Capitals' Jakob Chychrun: Two-point night in win
Chychrun scored a goal and added an assist in Thursday's 4-3 win against Philadelphia.
Chychrun scored the winner at 12:05 of the third period on a snap shot from the left face-off circle. It was his 14th of the season which moves him into a tie with Quinn Hughes (lower body) for third overall for NHL defenders. The goal was Chychrun's first in eight games. That's the longest goal drought for the hard-shooting defender this season, but it shouldn't come as a surprise. Some regression was expected for Chychrun, who has been scoring at a 12.7 percent success rate, -- that's significantly higher than his career 7.3 percent. Still, he's a solid fantasy play. His 34 points (49 games) put him in the top 15 in the NHL.

Capitals' Charlie Lindgren: Grounds Flyers with strong effort
Lindgren notched a win Thursday with a 19-save performance against the Flyers. The final score was 4-3.
Lindgren was sharp, handing the Flyers their seventh loss in eight games. He was beaten twice by Matvei Michkov, and Tyson Foerster put a power-play snipe past him. Lindgren is 2-1-1 with one shutout, 10 goals allowed and a .903 save percentage in four starts since his upper-body injury. He and Logan Thompson have been time-sharing starts since his return from injury, and that will likely continue even with Thompson's recent contract extension (six years, $35.1 million).

Capitals' Alex Ovechkin: Multi-category four-game streak
Ovechkin scored a goal in Thursday's 4-3 win against the Flyers. It was goal 879 of his career.
He snapped a shot past Ivan Fedotov, going far side from the right circle in the last minute of the first period. Ovechkin is now 16 goals to 895 and overtaking Wayne Gretzky for the most career NHL goals. He has a goal in each of his last four games (six points) and 26 snipes on the season. He also has 12 hits and 14 shots in that span. Ovechkin's longevity is impressive. He's delivering yet another point-per-game pace (40 in 38 games), and he's on his best goal pace in several seasons. Gretzky's record is within reach in 2024-25.

Capitals' Charlie Lindgren: Starting against Philadelphia
Lindgren will start on the road against the Flyers on Thursday, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports.
Lindgren was inconsistent to close out January, as he picked up his first shutout win of the season on the road against the Kraken on Jan. 23 before settling for losses in each of his last two appearances. Across those two outings -- which came against the Canucks and Senators -- he went 0-1-1 with a 3.49 GAA and .881 save percentage. He didn't appear in either of the Capitals' last two games but will have a somewhat favorable matchup against the Flyers, who rank 23rd in the league with 2.78 goals per game.

Carlson provided an assist and five shots on goal in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Panthers.
Carlson earned a helper for the fourth straight game when he set up Lars Eller's go-ahead goal in the third period. For the season, Carlson is up to four goals, 29 assists, 112 shots on net, 91 blocked shots, 39 hits and a plus-18 rating over 53 contests. He's been steady on offense and should challenge for the 50-point threshold while seeing top-pairing minutes.

Capitals' Alex Ovechkin: Reaches 25-goal mark
Ovechkin scored an empty-net goal on three shots, added two hits and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Panthers.
Ovechkin scored for the third game in a row, and he has five points in that span. This was his 25th goal of the campaign, and that's a mark he's reached in 19 seasons -- one campaign fewer than the record-holder, Gordie Howe. The only year Ovechkin's missed that threshold was the shortened 2020-21 season. He's now at 39 points, 135 shots on net, 68 hits and a plus-17 rating through 37 appearances after putting away goal No. 878.

The helper on Alex Ovechkin's last second empty-net goal snapped a nine-game point drought for Fehervary, The 25-year-old has managed only a single goal and 12 points in 53 games but remains an invaluable stay-at-home defenseman for the Capitals.

Capitals' Andrew Mangiapane: Supplies two points
Mangiapane tallied a goal, an assist, a plus-2 rating and two shots during Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Panthers.
Mangiapane had gone nine games without a point before filling the scoresheet in Tuesday's victory over the defending Stanley Cup champions. The 28-year-old has posted 19 points in 52 games but is currently slotted on the fourth line alongside Brandon Duhaime and Nic Dowd, which isn't likely to do wonders for Mangiapane's fantasy value.

Capitals' Nic Dowd: Notches three points
Dowd registered a goal, two assists, three hits and a plus-2 rating during Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Panthers.
Dowd's helpers opened and closed the scoring for Washington, with his second assist getting Alex Ovechkin to within 17 goals of the all-time record. The 34-year-old Dowd has chipped in a goal and seven points in 16 games since the calendar rolled into 2025.

Sandin ended a seven-game point drought by notching a helper on Andrew Mangiapane's first-period tally. The 24-year-old defenseman has been playing with John Carlson on the top pairing in recent weeks, though a significant boost to Sandin's fantasy production has yet to materialize as a result of the promotion.
