Bags two apples Letang notched two assists, three shots on goal, three blocked shots and a plus-3 rating in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Kings.

Impact Letang snapped a four-game point drought with the effort. He's done alright from a slightly reduced role this year -- Letang has played in the bottom four, though he's still seeing enough ice time to be impactful. He's produced eight helpers, 32 shots on net, 21 hits, 16 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over 17 appearances. The 39-year-old can help in deeper fantasy formats as long as he holds onto his spot on the second power-play unit.

Capitals top Penguins 5-3 in Alex Ovechkin's final home opener in Washington

Tom Wilson had a goal and two assists, and the Washington Capitals held on for a win in Alex Ovechkin’s final home opener, 5-3 over the Pittsburgh Penguins

Dishes pair of helpers in win Letang recorded a pair of assists, including one on the power play, and added three shots on goal in Saturday's 6-5 overtime win over the Canadiens.

Impact Letang has opened the campaign with three helpers, seven shots on net, two hits and a plus-2 rating over two contests. The defenseman is still seeing a decent share of playing time, but he's been listed on the third pairing alongside Trevor van Riemsdyk. Letang seeing a role reduction at 39 years old shouldn't come as a surprise. There's a chance he'll be able to do more on offense with less ice time, but he's been under the 40-point mark in each of the last two years, so there's still moderate risk for fantasy managers.

Lucky bounce for another GWG Letang scored a goal and added three hits in Monday's 3-2 win over the Flyers in Game 5.

Impact Letang's shot missed the net, but the carom off the back boards landed in the crease, and Dan Vladar inadvertently shuffled the puck into his net. This was Letang's second goal in as many games, and both have sealed victories as the Penguins work their way back from what was a 3-0 series deficit. Letang has added nine shots on net, seven hits, four blocked shots, 18 PIM and a minus-2 rating over five playoff contests.
