Michael Sgarbossa - Pots goal TuesdaySgarboss tallied a goal and added four shots during Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Devils.
ImpactSgarbossa tallied his first goal and second point in seven games since his recall to fill the void left by Evgeny Kuznetsov (personal). The 31-year-old could get challenged for ice time by some of the younger talent in AHL Hershey and therefore has limited upside as a fantasy play.

John Carlson - Dishes helper TuesdayCarlson registered an assist while logging 24:32 of ice time during Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Devils.
ImpactCarlson has posted two goals and 12 points in 20 games since the calendar rolled into 2024 -- but has managed just four points in that span on a Capitals power play that has struggled with consistency all season. The 34-year-old is on pace for another 40+ point campaign and should be a solid -- though perhaps not gamebreaking -- rearguard for the balance of the 2023-24 season.
