Impact Frank opened the scoring in the first period and also tied the score at two apiece midway through the final frame. The Colorado native had just one goal across 13 games prior to Sunday. This marked his second multi-point performance of the season, and his production is likely to remain sporadic so long as he remains in a bottom-six capacity.

Four-point eruption in Montreal Frank scored two goals, one on the power play, and added two even-strength assists in Thursday's 8-4 win over the Canadiens.

Impact The 27-year-old winger's first career multi-point performance in the NHL was a memorable one, as Frank struck twice in 98 seconds early in the second period to give the Capitals a 3-1 lead that they wouldn't relinquish. He had just three assists in his first nine games this season, and while he's shown offensive upside in the AHL -- he racked up 20 goals and 28 points in only 35 games for Hershey last season -- and is beginning to get some power-play shifts, his fourth-line role at even strength still severely limits his fantasy appeal.
