Maxim Schafer - Two goals in Chicoutimi win Schafer scored twice in QMJHL Chicoutimi's 6-2 win over Rouyn-Noranda on Thursday.

Impact Schafer had been limited to two goals and three assists over his previous nine games. The Capitals prospect has done fine this season with 17 goals, 34 points and a plus-8 rating across 40 appearances. Schafer could still take a number of different paths in his development after this year, but he's in position for a deep run in the QMJHL playoffs for one of the league's top teams.

Ivan Miroshnichenko - Earns three points in Hershey's win Miroshnichenko scored twice and added an assist in AHL Hershey's 3-2 win over Toronto on Wednesday.

Impact Miroshnichenko has five goals and five assists over his last seven contests. For the season, the 22-year-old winger is up to 11 goals and 28 helpers over 31 appearances. He's shooting 12.4 percent as well, so this level of production should be sustainable for a player with ample talent.

John Carlson - Set for return after Olympics Carlson is expected to return to the lineup following the Olympic break, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports Tuesday.

Impact After leaving the Capitals' matchup Feb. 5 with a lower-body injury, Carlson was spotted skating in a regular jersey during Tuesday's morning skate. Prior to the Olympics, the 36-year-old blueliner posted 10 goals, 46 points, 115 shots on net and 84 blocked shots across 55 games this season. With Spencer Carbury indicating that Carlson should be good to go, the veteran defenseman will likely return to his usual role on the team's top defensive pairing at even strength following the Olympic break.

Charlie Lindgren - Practices, feels good to go Lindgren (lower body) was a full participant in Tuesday's practice and feels ready to return to the lineup, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports.

Impact Lindgren sat out four straight games before the Olympic break. However, he is trending toward being available to suit up in Washington's home matchup against Philadelphia on Feb. 25. Assuming he is good to go, Lindgren will come off the injured reserve list, and the Capitals will probably return Garin Bjorklund to AHL Hershey.
