Impact Edmundson has played in 44 games this year, he's recorded one goal and five assists. The 30-year-old will look to bring more physicality to Toronto as he's logged 59 hits and 49 blocked shots. He will likely slide into the third defensive pairing for the Leafs.

Impact Edmundson has three helpers in his last seven games would should boost his asking price should the Capitals become sellers in advance of the March 8 trade deadline. The 30-year-old is an effective, stay-at-home defender that could be very helpful for teams with Stanley Cup aspirations, but with just six points in 43 games on the season, he isn't much of a fantasy asset.

Bags apple Thursday Edmundson tallied an assist and dished out four hits during Thursday's 5-2 win over the Lightning.

Impact Edmundson has two helpers in his last three outings after failing to find the scoresheet in his previous 11 games. The offense isn't likely to last, but it can only help boost the 30-year-old's appeal to other teams looking to add a stay-at-home defenseman should the Capitals emerge as sellers before the March 8 trade deadline.

Returns from injury Edmundson had one hit over 15:50 of ice time in Saturday's 3-0 loss to the Blues.

Questionable for Thursday Edmundson (undisclosed) is uncertain to play Thursday against the Blues, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports.

Impact Edmundson took the morning skate, but he is considered a game-time call against his former team. Trevor Van Riemsdyk seems likely to return to the lineup regardless, but Alex Alexeyev would also draw in if the 30-year-old is unable to play.

Dishes helper Saturday Edmundson tallied an assist while logging 10:58 of ice time during Saturday's 3-2 win over the Rangers.

Impact Edmundson's helper on T.J. Oshie's game-winning goal snapped a nine-game scoring drought. The 30-year-old is getting regular ice time since his recovery from a preseason hand injury, but with just two points and a minus-4 rating in 24 games, Edmundson isn't much of a fantasy asset.

JANUARY 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Dishes helper Sunday Edmundson tallied an assist and a plus-3 rating during Sunday's 4-2 win over the Blackhawks.

Impact The assist marks the first point for Edmundson -- who missed the first 14 games of the season recovering from a broken hand-- in 11 games with the Capitals. The 30-year-old plays a simple, steady game on the back end, but he is not enough of an offensive contributor to garner much fantasy consideration.

Making Capitals debut Saturday Edmundson will make his Capitals debut Saturday against the Blue Jackets, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports.

Impact Edmundson was taken off the injured reserve list earlier in the day and will make his Capitals debut after missing the first 14 games recovering from a broken hand during the preseason. The 30-year-old will be a valuable physical presence for the Capitals, however a lack of offensive upside confines Edmundson's fantasy appeal to deeper leagues that count peripheral categories such as hits and block shots.

Removed from LTIR Edmundson (hand) was activated from long-term injured reserve Saturday, per Sammi Silber of The Hockey News.

Impact In a corresponding move, Dylan McIlrath has been returned to AHL Hershey.

Moves to IR Edmundson (hand) was placed on injured reserve Monday.

Impact Edmundson underwent a procedure Sept. 26 to stabilize his fractured hand.

Skates Saturday Edmundson (hand) skated prior to Saturday's optional practice, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.

Impact Edmundson was sporting a non-contact jersey and remains a ways from returning, but his presence on the ice indicates he is progressing in his recovery from hand surgery performed in late September. The 30-year-old faces competition from the likes of Alexander Alexeyev --and possibly even training camp standout Hardy Haman-Aktell --for ice time which could further hinder the rugged blueliner's already limited fantasy upside.

Impact Edmundson sustained the injury during an intrasquad scrimmage over the weekend. The 30-year-old was acquired from the Canadiens over the summer to provide a physical element to the Capitals' defense corps but will be forced to wait to make his debut. Alexander Alexeyev is likely to see a regular role alongside Trevor van Riemsdyk on the third pairing in the interim.

Being evaluated Edmundson won't take part in Tuesday's practice because of an upper-body injury, Tarik El-Bashir of The Athletic reports.
