The goal was his first since signing a two-year, $4 million contract extension with the Capitals on Wednesday. The late-bloomer Frank has proved he belongs at the NHL level and should continue to play a solid two-way role on Washington's fourth line moving forward.

With the trio of points, he is up to 13 goals, 16 assists, 89 shots on net, 75 hits and 30 blocked shots over 61 games this season. The 23-year-old center continues to impress as the season has progressed, scoring 20 of his 29 points this season since Dec. 31. This fact, combined with his recent line assignment centering the team's top line, gives him the tools necessary to be a solid fantasy player for the remainder of the campaign.

Impact McMichael reached the double-digit goal mark on the year in unique fashion. After his ninth goal of the season where he put the puck away off a slick feed from Justin Sourdif, McMichael went on to score an unassisted power-play goal for his 10th goal. Alongside his 10 twine finders, he has 33 points, 115 shots on net, 33 hits and 34 blocked shots across 61 games this season. He should continue to draw line assignments in the team's middle six moving forward, which places him a solid spot to produce in deep fantasy leagues.

His twine finder was his 24th goal of the campaign and 50th overall point, securing him a 50-plus point season for the third time in his 13-year career. While Monday's goal was just his first point since the Olympics, he has remained a category-coverage workhorse and currently has 116 shots on goal, 140 hits and 40 blocked shots across 55 appearances this season. If he can heat up down the stretch, he has a shot to post his second consecutive 60-point campaign, which would heighten his already strong fantasy value in category leagues for the remainder of the year.

With the pair of points, he is up to three goals, nine assists, 48 shots on net and 37 hits across 60 games this season. While he doesn't have the high-end scoring needed for most fantasy formats, his recent run of three points over his last four games is an encouraging sign for the 24-year-old, fourth-line center moving forward.

Impact Thompson kept the Flames off the scoreboard in both the first and third periods but ran into trouble in the second, where he allowed three goals, including a pair of shorthanded tallies. He earned the win all the same, improving to 22-18-4 on the season with a 2.42 GAA and a .912 save percentage across 44 appearances this year. With the Capitals six points out of a playoff spot in the Metropolitan Division, Thompson will likely be deployed often down the stretch, upholding his already strong fantasy value moving forward. If he continues to find the win column, he should be a strong candidate to be nominated for the Vezina Trophy at the end of the season.
