Ovie has points in three of his last four games (one goal, two assists) and seven, including two goals, in his last 12 games).

Anthony Beauvillier - Rare goal in win Beauvillier scored a goal Monday in a 4-1 win over the Islanders.

Impact Beauvillier has 11 goals, seven assists and 120 shots in 57 games this season. But he has just three goals and two assists in his last 17 games. And that's while getting opportunities on the Caps' top line. There are better fantasy options.

Nic Dowd - Three points in last three games Dowd had a goal and an assist in a 4-1 win over the Islanders on Monday.

Impact His goal was a fluke, but they all count. Dowd wired a pass intended for Alex Ovechkin that hit Ondrej Palat's stick and then Tony DeAngelo's skate before bouncing past David Rittch. The third-line center has three points, including two goals, in his last three games (four shots). Dowd had two hits Monday to bring his season total to 90 -- that's by far his best fantasy category. He has four goals, 12 assists, 44 shots and 39 hits in 49 games.
