Brandon Duhaime - Stuck in cold spell Duhaime's point drought reached 21 games in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Panthers.

Impact Duhaime has gotten on the scoresheet just once in the last 32 contests, which was his one-goal, one-assist effort versus the Sharks on Dec. 3. The winger is a fourth-line glue guy, but he offers virtually no scoring upside. For the season, Duhaime has four goals, two assists, 34 shots on net, 51 PIM, 102 hits and 32 blocked shots over 49 appearances.

Aliaksei Protas - Nabs first helper since injury Protas logged an assist and two hits in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Panthers.

Impact Protas picked up his first point in five games since he returned from a lower-body injury that cost him three contests. The 25-year-old has reclaimed a steady role in the top six, though he remains without much power-play time. The forward is up to 32 points, 99 shots on net, 27 blocked shots, 22 hits, 16 PIM and a plus-20 rating over 46 appearances. If Protas can get his offense on track, he makes for a solid forward in most fantasy formats.

John Carlson - Plates two helpers in loss Carlson supplied two assists, put three shots on net and had two blocks in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Panthers.

Impact Carlson played a hand in both goals scored by Jakob Chychrun in Saturday's contest. With the pair of helpers, Carlson now has 29 assists, 38 points, 96 shots on goal and 66 blocks across 45 games this season. The assistant captain has nine points over his last seven games and has remained a steady source for category-coverage stats in the process. He is on track to secure 60-plus points this season, which would mark his first time doing so since the 2021-22 campaign. Carlson should continue to provide solid fantasy production across the remainder of the regular season.

Jakob Chychrun - Nets pair of goals Chychrun scored two goals, placed three shots on net, recorded two blocks and dished out two hits in Saturday's 5-2 loss to Florida.

Impact Chychrun tallied two consecutive goals early in the second period to give the Capitals an initial 2-1 lead. With the pair of twine finders, he is up to 17 on the season, which ranks second among all NHL defensemen. Overall, the 27-year-old blueliner has 35 points, 156 shots on net, 41 hits and 61 blocks through 47 games this season. He is not only on pace for a new career high in points after totaling 47 points through 74 regular-season games a year ago, but is also on track to shatter his current career high of 204 shots on net. Chychrun continues to take steps forward in his second full season with the Capitals and is quietly becoming one of the most productive fantasy options on the blue line across the league.

Brett Leason - Returned to AHL Leason was assigned to AHL Hershey on Sunday.

Impact Leason hasn't earned a point in six NHL appearances this season while posting 10 hits. He has notched six goals and eight assists in 20 AHL outings during the 2025-26 campaign.

Logan Thompson - Surrenders three times in loss Thompson stopped 26 of 29 shots on goal in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Panthers.

Impact Despite the Panthers tallying five goals in Saturday's contest, Thompson allowed just three, with the final pair occurring against an empty net. With the loss, the 28-year-old goaltender now has a 17-14-4 record, a 2.38 GAA and a .914 save percentage across 35 games this season. Since the start of the calendar year, he has been dealt a tough hand to have a 2-4-1 record despite holding a .912 save percentage. Thompson is approaching a new career high in games played, which raises questions about how he'll perform down the stretch. However, he has a steady Capitals defense in front of him, and his strong play is bound to lead him to the win column soon, which bodes well for his fantasy value. His next chance to bounce back is Monday in Colorado, marking the start of Washington's six-game road trip.
