Nic Dowd - Snags helper in Friday's win Dowd recorded an assist, two shots on goal, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 5-1 win over the Blackhawks.

Impact Dowd hasn't scored since Dec. 11 versus the Hurricanes, but he hasn't gone more than three games without a point since, earning five helpers over 14 contests in that span. The 35-year-old defensive center continues to see key minutes in a shutdown role. He's earned 11 points, 36 shots on net, 31 PIM, 59 hits, 27 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over 37 outings this season.

Martin Fehervary - Two more helpers in win Fehervary notched two assists, two PIM and a plus-4 rating in Friday's 5-1 win over the Blackhawks.

Impact Fehervary has earned a pair of two-assist games over his last three outings. Those efforts account for two of his three multi-point games this season. The stalwart blueliner is up to three goals, 13 helpers, 51 shots on net, 54 hits, 91 blocked shots, 21 PIM and a plus-15 rating over 45 appearances. Fehervary had a career-best 25 points in 81 regular-season contests last year, but he's on pace to top that mark in 2025-26.

Ryan Leonard - Deals pair of helpers Leonard logged two assists and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 5-1 win over the Blackhawks.

Impact Leonard saw a four-game point streak end versus the Stars on Wednesday, but he bounced back with helpers on goals by Connor McMichael and Justin Sourdif in this contest. The 20-year-old Leonard continues to improve as he gains more trust with the Capitals' coaching staff. The rookie winger is up to 27 points (seven on the power play), 77 shots on net, 51 hits, 20 PIM and a plus-11 rating over 38 appearances. As long as he keeps seeing middle-six minutes and power-play time, he has the tools to help most fantasy teams.

John Carlson - Supplies two assists Carlson logged two assists and a plus-3 rating in Friday's 5-1 win over the Blackhawks.

Impact Carlson has racked up a goal and four assists over his last three outings to bounce back from a five-game slump. The defenseman had a hand in goals by Anthony Beauvillier and Ethen Frank in the first period as the Capitals leaned on their depth to establish an early lead. Carlson is up to 34 points (nine goals, 25 helpers) with 80 shots on net, 59 blocked shots and a plus-11 rating across 41 appearances in 2025-26.

Ethen Frank - Buries goal in win Frank scored a goal and went plus-2 in Friday's 5-1 win over the Blackhawks.

Impact Frank ended an eight-game goal drought with the tally. The 27-year-old winger has been in a bottom-six role lately, which won't give him a ton of opportunities on offense. He's contributed seven goals, 15 points, 50 shots on net, 26 hits, 21 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating through 34 outings overall.

Anthony Beauvillier - Tallies opening goal Friday Beauvillier scored a goal on three shots and went plus-2 in Friday's 5-1 win over the Blackhawks.

Impact Beauvillier has three goals and an assist over his last eight games. That's fine production for a middle-six forward, especially after his offense was down for most of December. On the season, he's produced nine goals, 15 points, 94 shots, 60 hits and a plus-7 rating over 45 appearances while playing all over the lineup.

Justin Sourdif - Pots goal in Friday's win Sourdif scored a goal, added two PIM and went plus-2 in Friday's 5-1 win over the Blackhawks.

Impact Sourdif has six goals and four helpers over his last six outings. His latest contribution extended the Capitals' lead to 4-1 in the second period. The 23-year-old has found chemistry with Connor McMichael and Ryan Leonard recently, giving the Capitals an effective second line to help keep the offense steady in the absence of Tom Wilson (lower body). Sourdif is at nine goals, 19 points, a plus-15 rating, 58 shots on net, 19 PIM, 54 hits and 19 blocked shots through 44 contests.

Alex Ovechkin - Adds another goal Ovechkin scored a goal on four shots and added three hits in Friday's 5-1 win over the Blackhawks.

Impact Ovechkin is heating up with four goals over his last three games. The 40-year-old superstar has also earned a total of seven points over his last eight contests. Ovechkin can go on prolonged hot streaks, especially for goal-scoring, so he's essential to have in fantasy lineups until he cools off. For the season, he's at 19 goals, 38 points, 121 shots on net, 80 hits and a plus-1 rating through 45 appearances.

1 DAY AGO • ROTOWIRE

Connor McMichael - One of each in win McMichael scored a goal on three shots, added an assist and went plus-2 in Friday's 5-1 win over the Blackhawks.

Impact McMichael's first-period tally stood as the game-winner, and he also set up a Justin Sourdif goal in the second. The goal snapped a 13-game stretch without one, though McMichael has heated up with seven helpers over his last six outings as well. The 24-year-old is now at six goals, 21 assists, 88 shots on net and a plus-7 rating across 45 appearances in a middle-six role this season.

Logan Thompson - Cruises to win Friday Thompson stopped 23 of 24 shots in Friday's 5-1 win over the Blackhawks.

Impact Thompson ended a four-game skid, in which he allowed 13 goals on 128 shots while going 0-3-1. Given his success from earlier in the year, that's not a terrible cold spell for the 28-year-old netminder, though it was still a positive to see him take care of business against a Chicago team that was ravaged by an illness. Thompson is up to 16-12-4 on the year with a 2.35 GAA and a .916 save percentage over 32 starts. The Capitals are back in action Sunday versus the Predators to close out this quick two-game road trip.
