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.

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.

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.
