Impact Beauvillier continues to look excellent in a top-line role during the playoffs. He has a goal, four assists, 11 shots on net, 13 hits, three blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over four postseason contests. Beauvillier's spot on the top line will be safe at least until Aliaksei Protas (foot) is able to return, though Protas has been a game-time decision for the last couple of contests.

The 24-year-old McMichael has regained a scoring touch in the postseason with three goals on 122 shots, one assist, three hits and a plus-3 rating over four outings. He's in a top-six role and should continue to be a steady source of offense throughout the playoffs.

Impact Van Riemsdyk snapped a 12-game point drought, which spanned all of April up to Sunday.

Tom Wilson - Deposits empty-netter Wilson scored an empty-net goal on three shots, added six hits and went plus-2 in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Canadiens in Game 4.
Impact Wilson had an assist in four of the previous five contests, but this was his first goal since April 10 versus the Hurricanes. The top-six winger has done his usual job of being an irritant to opponents, racking up 16 hits, 14 PIM and eight shots on net in addition to his three points over four playoff outings. Wilson remains a strong choice in any format that counts hits or PIM.
APRIL 28 • ROTOWIRE
Andrew Mangiapane - Slings helper in win Mangiapane notched an assist, two shots on goal and two blocked shots in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Canadiens in Game 4.
Impact Mangiapane buried his chance at 16:23 of the third period, and that goal stood as the game-winner. The winger has earned a goal, an assist, nine shots on net, two hits, three blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over four playoff outings.

Dylan Strome - One of each in win Strome scored a goal on two shots, added an assist and went plus-2 in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Canadiens in Game 4.
Impact Strome has gotten on the scoresheet in seven straight games, earning five goals and seven assists in that span. He's picked up two goals, five helpers, eight shots, a plus-3 rating, three blocked shots and two hits over four playoff contests. Strome is locked in on the top line and red-hot on offense, so he's a strong choice in DFS at this stage of the postseason.
APRIL 28 • ROTOWIRE
Brandon Duhaime - Scores twice Sunday Duhaime scored two goals on three shots, added five hits and blocked two shots in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Canadiens in Game 4.
Impact Duhaime banked in a shot to tie the game at 2-2 at 6:39 of the third period, and he added an empty-netter later in the frame. This two-goal effort ended a stretch of 13 contests in which Duhaime was limited to two assists, 11 shots on net, 33 hits and 28 PIM. He's picked up six shots, 15 hits, four blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating over four playoff outings, though he remains firmly in a bottom-six role.
APRIL 28 • ROTOWIRE
Logan Thompson - Bounces back after injury scare Thompson stopped 16 of 18 shots in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Canadiens in Game 4.
Impact Thompson left Friday's Game 3 with an apparent lower-body injury, but he was able to avoid missing additional time. The Capitals put in a better effort Sunday, limiting the shots Thompson saw, and he let in only two power-play tallies to Juraj Slafkovsky and Cole Caufield. This win extended the Capitals' series lead to 3-1, and Thompson has allowed 10 goals on 114 shots over those four contests. Assuming he feels fine after this outing, he can be penciled in to start again in Wednesday's Game 5 on home ice.
