The Washington Capitals host the Utah Mammoth after Alexander Ovechkin's two-goal game against the Montreal Canadiens in the Capitals' 6-2 loss

Anthony Beauvillier - Provides two assists Beauvillier notched two assists in Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Canadiens.

Impact A return to the top line sparked some offense for Beauvillier, who had gone three games without a point. He's up to 22 points, 130 shots on net, 78 hits, 35 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating over 62 appearances this season. He'd need a strong finish to get to 30 points, a mark he hasn't reached since 2021-22 with the Islanders.

Alex Ovechkin - Scores twice in loss Ovechkin scored two goals and took six shots in Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Canadiens.

Impact Ovechkin finally snapped his scoring drought and found the back of the net for the first time since Jan. 27, when he scored in a 5-1 loss to Seattle. The star forward remains productive despite being 40 years old, and even though his numbers are not what they were in his prime, he continues to make an impact offensively for the Capitals. Ovechkin has three goals and six points over his last 10 appearances, and 50 total points (24 goals, 26 assists) in 62 contests in 2025-26.

Charlie Lindgren - Gives up four goals Lindgren stopped 19 of 23 shots in Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Canadiens. The other two goals were empty-netters.

Impact Lindgren was beaten twice in the first frame and twice more in the second. By the time Montreal added a fifth goal, he was already on the bench while the Capitals were trying to find a late equalizer. This was Lindgren's first appearance since Jan. 29, when he earned the win in a 4-3 victory over the Red Wings after stopping 18 of 21 shots. He's firmly entrenched as the backup behind Logan Thompson, so he's expected to see minimal playing time in the foreseeable future.
