Capitals' Logan Thompson: Notches second straight shutout
Thompson turned aside all 25 shots faced during Thursday's 1-0 road victory over the Senators.
Thompson has stopped 76 of 77 shots faced over his last three games - all victories. The 27-year-old is expected to start regularly with Charlie Lindgren (upper body) on the injured list so fantasy managers should make the most of the heavy workload and keep him fixed in their lineups.

Capitals' Rasmus Sandin: Sets up game-winner
Sandin tallied an assist, a plus-1 rating and two shots during Thursday's 1-0 win over the Senators.
Sandin made a terrific effort in the defensive zone before lugging the puck up the ice and feeding Alex Ovechkin for his 874th career NHL goal. The 24-year-old Swede has four goals and 18 goals in 45 games thus far in the 2024-25 campaign.

Capitals' Alex Ovechkin: Notches another milestone
Ovechkin supplied the game-winning goal and added three shots during Thursday's 1-0 win over the Senators.
In addition to notching career goal 874, Ovechkin's overtime tally against Senators goaltender Leevi Merilainen marks the 179th different goaltender that the "Great 8" has scored against, a new NHL record. The 39-year-old is up to 21 goals and 33 points in 29 games.

Capitals' Logan Thompson: Set to start Thursday
Thompson is expected to start in Thursday's tilt against Ottawa, per TSN 1200 Ottawa.
Thompson has stopped 99 of 104 shots (.952 save percentage) while winning three of his past four appearances. That brings him up to 19-2-3 with a 2.23 GAA and a .921 save percentage in 24 outings overall. Ottawa is in a three-way tie for 20th in goals per game with 2.88.

Capitals' Charlie Lindgren: Traveling with team
Although Lindgren (upper body) won't return Thursday in Ottawa, he will travel with the Capitals, according to Tom Gulitti of NHL.com.
Lindgren practiced with the Capitals on Wednesday and traveling will allow him to continue to skate with his teammates. He seems to be making good progress and might return as early as Saturday versus Pittsburgh. The 31-year-old has a 10-8-2 record, 2.65 GAA and .900 save percentage in 21 appearances in 2024-25.

Capitals' Sonny Milano: Practices Wednesday
Milano (upper body) took part in Wednesday's practice, though he was wearing a non-contact jersey, per Tom Gulitti of NHL.com.
Milano shouldn't be expected to return to the Capitals' lineup until he starts taking contact, but he's making progress. He has no points, four shots and a hit over three appearances with Washington in 2024-25. Milano should be in the mix for a fourth-line spot once he's healthy.

Capitals' Ethen Frank: Lights lamp again in win
Frank scored a goal on two shots and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 3-0 win over the Ducks.
Frank has opened his NHL career on a three-game point streak (two goals, one assist). He's been a perfect fit on the third line so far, playing alongside Taylor Raddysh and Lars Eller to give the Capitals a bit more scoring depth. Frank is unlikely to be a point-per-game player over a long stretch, but the 26-year-old's scoring touch has been evident in the minors over the last three years -- he has 79 goals across 156 games with AHL Hershey in that span.

Capitals' John Carlson: Goes bar-down for goal
Carlson scored a goal on two shots and added two PIM in Tuesday's 3-0 win over the Ducks.
Carlson had gone 21 games without a goal, racking up 12 assists and 42 shots on net in that span. He put the Capitals ahead 2-0 in the first period of this contest. The 35-year-old defenseman remains stable in a top-pairing role, earning 28 points, 97 shots on net, 80 blocked shots and a plus-17 role through 44 games this season. Carlson's no longer among the elite scorers on the blue line, but he does plenty to help a fantasy team.

Capitals' Logan Thompson: Blanks Ducks
Thompson turned aside all 19 shots faced during Tuesday's 3-0 home win over the Ducks.
Thompson recorded his first shutout of the season and now stands at 19-2-3 through just 24 starts in his inaugural campaign with the Capitals. Only an evenly split workload with Charlie Lindgren (upper body) has hindered Thompson's breakout, but Thompson is expected to get the bulk of the starts with the latter now on the injured list.

Capitals' Nic Dowd: Dishes helper
Dowd registered an assist and two blocked shots during Tuesday's 3-0 win over the Ducks.
Dowd snapped a four-game scoring drought with the secondary assist on Brandon Duhaime's game-winning goal. The 34-year-old has posted two goals and five points over his last 10 games.

Capitals' Pierre-Luc Dubois: Bags apple Tuesday
Dubois registered an assist and a plus-2 rating during Tuesday's 3-0 win over the Ducks.
Dubois made a nifty feed on a two-on-one breakaway to Ethen Frank for an insurance goal in the third period. The 26-year-old has two goals and six points in seven games during the month of January and has been promoted to the top line alongside Alex Ovechkin, which should further enhance his already well-rounded fantasy appeal.

Capitals' Brandon Duhaime: Notches two points
Duhaime tallied a goal, an assist, two shots, a plus-2 rating and two hits during Tuesday's 3-0 win over the Ducks.
Duhaime ended up netting the game-winning goal in the first period as the Capitals cruised to a shutout win over the road-weary Ducks. The 27-year-old has a goal and three points in seven games during the month of January.

Capitals' Logan Thompson: In goal Tuesday
Thompson is slated to start in Tuesday's home matchup against the Ducks, Tarik El-Bashir of Monumental Sports Network reports.
Thompson was stellar in his last start, turning aside 32 of 33 shots in Saturday's 4-1 win over Nashville. The 27-year-old has a 3-0-1 record, .924 save percentage and 2.42 GAA through four appearances in January. Charlie Lindgren (upper body) landed on injured reserve Saturday, so Thompson will handle the bulk of the starts while the former works his way back to full health.

Capitals' Brandon Duhaime: Picks up assist Saturday
Duhaime logged an assist, two hits and two blocked shots in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Predators.
Duhaime ended a six-game slump with the helper. The 27-year-old forward continues to see steady ice time in a bottom-six role, which hasn't led to consistent scoring chances. He's at 10 points, 51 shots on net, 81 hits, 39 blocked shots, 43 PIM and a plus-4 rating over 43 outings this season.

Capitals' Martin Fehervary: Slides apple in victory
Fehervary garnered an even-strength assist Saturday in a 4-1 win over Nashville.
Fehervary helped out on Ethen Frank's first career NHL goal in the third period, which stood as the game-winner. Fehervary added two PIM, one blocked shot, three hits and a plus-2 rating in 21:42 of ice time. The 25-year-old's offensive contributions have been modest this season, but he's off to a great start in January with one goal, three helpers and a plus-5 rating through six games. Overall, the Slovak blueliner is up to 10 assists, 11 points and a plus-8 rating through 43 appearances in 2024-25.

Capitals' John Carlson: Lends helper in Nashville
Carlson provided an even-strength assist and went plus-2 in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Predators.
Carlson registered the secondary assist on Andrew Mangiapane's 10th goal of the season in the third period. Carlson has notched three assists through six contests in January, but he hasn't scored since Nov. 27, a span of 21 games. Washington has eight players with at least 10 goals this season, so Carlson hasn't been relied upon in that category. For the season, the right-shot blueliner is up to three goals, 27 points, 12 PIM, 95 shots on net, 33 hits, 79 blocked shots, 18 takeaways and a plus-16 rating through 43 outings.
