Lights lamp twice Monday McMichael scored two goals, including one on the power play, put three shots on net and recorded two blocked shots in Monday's 7-3 win over Calgary.

Impact McMichael reached the double-digit goal mark on the year in unique fashion. After his ninth goal of the season where he put the puck away off a slick feed from Justin Sourdif, McMichael went on to score an unassisted power-play goal for his 10th goal. Alongside his 10 twine finders, he has 33 points, 115 shots on net, 33 hits and 34 blocked shots across 61 games this season. He should continue to draw line assignments in the team's middle six moving forward, which places him a solid spot to produce in deep fantasy leagues.

Activated from injured reserve McMichael (upper body) was activated from injured reserve Wednesday, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports.

Impact McMichael was placed on injured reserve at the end of January, but he should be back in action Wednesday against the Flyers, which is the Capitals' first game following the Olympic break. The 25-year-old has recorded eight goals, 23 assists, 30 hits and 30 blocked shots while averaging 17:03 of ice time over 55 appearances this season.

Surfaces on IR McMichael (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, per Tom Gulitti of NHL.com.

Impact McMichael sustained the injury late in Thursday's 4-3 shootout win over Detroit. He will miss at least the next four games and won't be ready to return until after the Olympic break. McMichael has eight goals, 31 points, 105 shots on net, 30 blocked shots and 30 hits across 55 appearances this season.

Two-point effort Saturday McMichael scored a goal on five shots, added an assist and went plus-2 in Saturday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Oilers.

Impact McMichael's goal put the Capitals ahead 5-4 with 4:51 left in the third period, but the lead didn't last. That tally secured his first multi-point effort since Jan. 9 versus the Blackhawks, and it ended a five-game point drought. Through 53 contests, McMichael has eight goals, 30 points, 104 shots on net, 27 hits, 30 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating. He's still shooting just 7.7 percent, so there's some room for increased production if his luck turns around.

Scores in overtime win McMichael scored a goal on four shots and added two hits in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Canadiens.

Impact McMichael tallied at 4:21 of overtime to secure the comeback win for the Capitals. The 24-year-old has earned seven points over his last five games, giving him some momentum in a second-line role. For the season, he's at seven goals, 28 points, 95 shots on net and a plus-8 rating over 47 contests. He's still shooting a mere 7.4 percent, so an uptick in scoring is possible for the remainder of the campaign.
