Dealt to Vegas Mantha was traded from the Capitals to the Golden Knights on Tuesday, Darren Dreger of TSN reports.

Impact Details of the return to Washington were not immediately available. Acquiring Mantha is likely to be the Golden Knights' big move at the trade deadline to supplement their forward depth. The winger has 20 goals and 14 assists over 56 outings for the Capitals this season, including seven power-play points. It's his best season since 2019-20. Once Mantha links up with the Golden Knights, he should be expected to fill a middle-six role and could potentially see some power-play time as well.

Pots 20th goal Mantha scored a power-play goal in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Coyotes.

Impact The 29-year-old winger found the back of the net just 10 seconds into the third period, but the Capitals were already down 4-1 at that point. Mantha is up to 20 goals on the season, the first time he's reached that mark since 2018-19, and given that he'll be a free agent in the offseason, he could be one of the first players shipped out at the trade deadline if Washington gives up on its fading playoff hopes.

Extends point streak Mantha registered a power-play goal during Friday's 5-2 win over the Flyers.

Impact Mantha has points in three consecutive games and has notched 14 points over his last 15 games. The pending unrestricted free agent should garner some interest at the upcoming March 8 trade deadline should the Capitals choose to get some assets for him, but Mantha has been a key offensive cog for a Washington team that is still very much in the playoff race.

Two helpers Monday Mantha logged a pair of assists in Monday's 6-3 win over the Senators.

Impact Mantha was questionable coming into Monday's contest after suffering an injury late in Saturday's loss to the Panthers. The 29-year-old winger would ultimately suit up and make an impact offensively, assisting on Aliaksei Protas' opening tally in the first period before adding another helper on a Hendrix Lapierre goal in the second. The 29-year-old Mantha now has seven points (two goals, five assists) in his last six contests. He's up to 18 goals and 31 points through 53 games this season.

Mantha was injured late in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to Florida. He has 18 goals and 29 points in 52 games this season. If Mantha can't play, Pierrick Dube or Ivan Miroshnichenko are available as replacements.

Hurt late in Saturday's game Mantha sustained an undisclosed injury late in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Panthers, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports.

Impact Head coach Spencer Carbery didn't specify how serious Mantha's injury is. The winger fought Florida's Nick Cousins in the second period, but it's unclear if Mantha's injury stems from that bout. The Capitals are back in action at home Monday versus the Senators.

Mantha has two multi-point performances in the last three games, but he managed just one goal and zero assists in the eight games prior to that.

Scores twice in loss Mantha notched a pair of goals in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Wild.

Delivers power-play helper Mantha earned a power-play assist in Wednesday's 6-3 loss to the Devils.

Impact Mantha has 11 goals and seven assists through 32 games, putting him on pace for his best season as a member of the Capitals, and within reach of the back-to-back 48-point campaigns that he provided for the Red Wings between 2017-19. With T.J. Oshie (lower body) and Nicklas Backstrom (hip) both on injured reserve, the Capitals really need Mantha to elevate his game and he seems up for the challenge this time around.

Two tallies in OT win Mantha scored two goals, one on the power play, in Thursday's 3-2 overtime win over the Blue Jackets.

Impact He only recorded two shots on net on the night, but both of them got past Elvis Merzlikins. Mantha was almost invisible through the first six weeks of the season, but he's come to life with six goals and 10 points over the last 12 games, and the 29-year-old found himself elevated to the Capitals' top power-play unit Thursday in place of Evgeny Kuznetsov. If that assignment sticks, Mantha will find himself on the fantasy radar even in shallower formats.
