Traded Thursday Chisholm was acquired by New Jersey from Washington on Thursday in exchange for a 2027 fourth-round pick.

Impact Chisholm had a goal, seven points, a plus-3 rating, four PIM, 11 hits and 22 blocks in 26 appearances with the Capitals in 2025-26. The 26-year-old was a frequent healthy scratch last season, and while he's not guaranteed to secure a top-six spot with New Jersey, at least he'll get a fresh opportunity.

Stuck in press box Chisholm was scratched for the 10th straight game in Tuesday's 6-4 win over the Flyers.

Impact After the arrival of Cole Hutson, the Capitals have five left-shot blueliners and nine total defensemen on the roster. That has left Chisholm as one of the regular scratches even with fellow lefty Rasmus Sandin playing his off side. Chisholm hasn't been anything more than a part-time option in his first year with the Capitals, earning seven points, 20 shots on net, 22 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating over 26 appearances.

Finds twine Thursday Chisholm scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 4-3 shootout win over the Red Wings.

Impact Chisholm's goal was his first as a Capital. The 26-year-old defenseman stayed in the lineup for a second consecutive game due to the absence of Matt Roy (lower body). Chisholm and Dylan McIlrath continue to compete for depth minutes, but both often sit when the Capitals are healthy. For the season, Chisholm has four points, 18 shots on net and 18 blocked shots over 20 appearances.

Struggling for playing time Chisholm has sat out 14 of the Capitals' 21 games since the start of December after being scratched Tuesday in a 3-2 overtime win over the Canadiens.

Impact Chisholm and Dylan McIlrath have rotated into the lineup infrequently, but they're still far more often left in the press box. Chisholm has earned three assists, 15 shots on net, 15 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over 17 outings this season. The 26-year-old would likely get a longer look if one of the Capitals' left-shot blueliners sustains a long-term injury.

Gathers helper in win Chisholm notched an assist and went plus-2 rating in Wednesday's 7-1 win over the Sharks.

Impact Chisholm has been out of the lineup more often than not this season, but he got to play Wednesday because John Carlson (upper body) was out. Chisholm picked up his second helper of the year when he set up Sonny Milano's goal in the first period. For the season, Chisholm has added eight shots on net, nine blocked shots and a plus-3 rating through 11 appearances. When he plays, he's likely to be confined to the third pairing, limiting his already minimal appeal in fantasy.

Unavailable Saturday Chisholm (undisclosed) will miss Saturday's game against Ottawa, per Tom Gulitti of NHL.com.

Impact Chisholm has an assist in three appearances with the Capitals in 2025-26. Dylan McIlrath will draw into the lineup versus the Senators due to Chisholm's absence.

Draws in, grabs helper Chisholm registered an assist in Sunday's 1-0 win over the Rangers.

Impact Chisholm got a chance to play while Trevor van Riemsdyk rested for the second half of a back-to-back. This was Chisholm's first game as a Capital after he was traded from the Wild at the draft. The 25-year-old blueliner is likely to remain in a part-time role. He had 12 points, 69 blocked shots and 33 hits in 66 regular-season games a year ago.
