Jakob Chychrun - Page 7 - NHL News & Rumors

Locked up for eight years Chychrun (hand/wrist) inked an eight-year, $72 million contract extension with the Capitals on Tuesday.

Impact Chychrun's new deal will begin with the 2025-26 campaign and run through 2032-33. He has 18 goals, 43 points, 46 PIM, 47 hits and 79 blocks in 65 appearances with Washington this campaign. This is the 26-year-old's second straight campaign with at least 40 points and the third time he's hit that milestone in his career. Chychrun is getting a big raise compared to his current $4.6 million cap hit, but he should serve in a top-four capacity for the Capitals throughout the life of his new contract. In the short term, Chychrun is questionable for Tuesday's game against Winnipeg after sustaining a laceration to his hand/wrist area during Saturday's 6-3 win over Florida.

Impact Although head coach Spencer Carbery said that Chychrun got lucky overall during Saturday's incident, he also described the 26-year-old's laceration as a "significant" cut. It's encouraging that Chychrun will travel with the team ahead of Tuesday's matchup, but it's not yet clear whether he'll be able to play. If he doesn't get the green light, Alexander Alexeyev and Dylan McIlrath are candidates to take his place in the lineup.

Sets career high in points Chychrun registered an assist and six shots on goal in Tuesday's 7-4 win over the Ducks.

Impact Chychrun got on the scoresheet for the third game in a row (one goal, two assists). The defenseman helped out on a Pierre-Luc Dubois tally in the second period. Chychrun has run a little streaky over the last month or so, but he's still a quality blueliner in fantasy. He's up to 42 points in 60 appearances, good for a new career-best scoring total. He's added 145 shots on net, 74 blocked shots and a plus-24 rating while filling a top-four role for the Capitals.

Nets goal in Friday's win Chychrun scored a goal on two shots in Friday's 5-2 win over the Red Wings.

Impact Chychrun came out of the 4 Nations Face-Off break with four points over two games, but his offense took a nosedive with a five-game drought after that. He put the slump to rest with a goal Friday, which ended up being the game-winner for the Capitals in their comeback effort. With the tally, he's matched his career high in goals at 18 and has also reached the 40-point mark for the third time, including in each of the last two seasons. The defenseman has added 136 shots on net, 74 blocked shots, 36 PIM and a plus-22 rating over 58 appearances.

Two-point night in win Chychrun scored a goal and added an assist in Thursday's 4-3 win against Philadelphia.

Impact Chychrun scored the winner at 12:05 of the third period on a snap shot from the left face-off circle. It was his 14th which moves him into a tie with Quinn Hughes for third overall for NHL defenders. The goal was Chychrun's first in eight games. That's the longest goal drought for the hard-shooting defender this season, but it shouldn't come as a surprise. Some regression was expected for Chychrun, who has been scoring at a 12.7 percent success rate, -- that's significantly higher than his career 7.3 percent. Still, he's a solid fantasy play. His 34 points (49 games) put him in the top-15 in the NHL.
