He could return as early as Monday in Colorado.

Tom Wilson - Deemed game-time call for Saturday Wilson (lower body) is considered a game-time decision for Saturday's game against the Panthers, Tarik El-Bashir of Monumental Sports Network reports.

Impact Wilson has been sidelined since early January due to his lower-body injury but has progressed in his recovery recently. He was considered a possibility for Thursday's game against the Sharks before being ruled out, and he was a full participant in Friday's practice session. If Wilson is held out once again Saturday, Brett Leason will likely remain in the lineup.

Sonny Milano - Getting bottom-six minutes Milano played for the fifth time over eight games in January in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Sharks.

Impact Milano hasn't registered a point yet this month, adding five shots on net and three hits in a bottom-six role. The 29-year-old is getting a steadier run of time due to the injuries that have sidelined Tom Wilson (lower body) and Justin Sourdif (upper body). Once the Capitals are closer to full healthy, Milano is likely to be a healthy scratch rather frequently. He has seven points, 31 shots on net and a plus-1 rating through 28 outings this season.

Jakob Chychrun - Nabs power-play helper in return Chychrun logged a power-play assists, three shots on goal, two blocked shots and two PIM in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Sharks.

Impact Chychrun missed the previous two games due to an illness. He has a goal and four assists over his last nine contests. The defenseman has been reliable all season with 15 goals, 33 points, 153 shots on net, 59 blocked shots, 39 hits, 39 PIM and a plus-25 rating through 46 appearances in a top-four role. His non-scoring numbers aren't the best, but it's enough to make him a decent option for category coverage in fantasy.

Dylan Strome - Three-game point streak Strome scored a goal in a 3-2 loss to San Jose on Thursday.

Impact It was a power-play marker. Alex Ovechkin's shot missed the net and caromed off the back wall right to Strome, who backhanded it from the right post. It extended his point streak to three games and three points (one goal, two assists; eight shots). Strome is on pace for a mid-60s finish this season, which would give him that kind of total in three of his last four seasons. At some point, you are who you are and Strome's 82-point 2024-25 may simply be an outlier.

Ryan Leonard - Eleven points in last 12 games Leonard scored a goal Thursday in a 3-2 loss to the Sharks.

Impact Since returning from a seven-game injury absence on Dec. 23, Leonard has recorded 11 points (three goals, eight assists) in 12 games played. Overall, he has 10 goals, 19 assists and 80 shots in 41 games this season. That puts Leonard fourth on the rookie scoring list behind Ivan Demidov (40), Beckett Sennecke (35) and Matthew Schaefer (30).

Logan Thompson - Shaky second period leads to loss Thompson made 23 saves in a 3-2 loss to the Sharks on Thursday.

Impact Thompson and the Capitals wobbled in the second, and the Sharks sunk their teeth in. He allowed three goals in a 2:46 span to jump out to a 3-1 lead. Since Christmas, Thompson is 3-4-1 in eight starts. He has allowed 22 goals in that span. Still, he remains one of the NHL's best with a 2.36 GAA and .915 save percentage in 34 starts (17-13-4).
