Impact Thompson is at the top of his game in the new year, sporting a 6-0-1 record, .944 save percentage and 1.48 GAA through seven appearances in January. The 27-year-old has allowed just two goals while posting two shutouts during his current four-game winning streak.

JANUARY 20, 2025 • Associated Press

Brandon Duhaime - Puts away empty-netter Duhaime scored an empty-net goal on two shots, added two PIM and logged two hits in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Penguins.

Impact Duhaime has been warm lately with four points, five shots, nine hits and a plus-4 rating over his last four contests. It's unlikely to last -- prior to that stretch, he was limited to one assist in a 19-game span. The 27-year-old forward has 13 points through 46 outings this season, matching his total from 80 games in 2023-24. He's added 56 shots on net, 45 PIM, 88 hits and 39 blocked shots in 2024-25 while filling a fourth-line role in his first year with the Capitals.

Jakob Chychrun - Opens scoring in win Chychrun scored a goal on five shots, added two hits and went plus-2 in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Penguins.

Impact Chychrun has picked up two goals and four assists over nine outings in January. The 26-year-old defenseman opened the scoring in Saturday's contest. For the season, he's up to 13 goals, 31 points, 98 shots on net, 30 hits, 52 blocked shots, 30 PIM and a plus-19 rating. Among NHL blueliners, only Zach Werenski and Cale Makar have more goals -- both have scored 15 times in 2024-25.

Aliaksei Protas - Earns two points in win Protas scored a goal, dished an assist, blocked two shots, added two PIM and went plus-2 in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Penguins.

Impact Protas was involved in the Capitals' first two goals, setting up Jakob Chychrun on the opening tally in the first period before netting the game-winner himself in the second. This ended a four-game slump for Protas, who had earned 10 points over 10 contests prior to his dry spell. For the season, the forward has 19 goals, 19 assists, 80 shots on net and a plus-26 rating while seeing next to nothing in the way of power-play time. He's emerged as a reliable top-six forward in 2024-25 and could push for a 30-goal, 60-point campaign, though there's a chance the bottom falls out since he's shooting 23.8 percent.

Pierre-Luc Dubois - Power-play goal vs. Pittsburgh Dubois registered one power-play goal, one assist, three shots, one blocked shot and a plus-1 rating during Saturday's 4-1 win over the Penguins.

Impact Dubois found Aliaksei Protas in front of the net midway through the second period to give the Capitals a 2-0 lead. Dubois found himself on the receiving end of a Connor McMichael pass late in the third period, and the former was able to convert that opportunity into a power-play goal. Dubois has a plus-9 rating over his last 10 outings with three goals, six assists, 19 shots on goal and seven blocked shots over that span.

Connor McMichael - Breaks points drought Saturday McMichael tallied two assists, a plus-1 rating, one shot and one blocked shot during Saturday's 4-1 win over the Penguins.

Impact McMichael took advantage of a turnover by Marcus Pettersson midway through the second period, leading to the former getting the secondary assist on Aliaksei Protas' 19th goal of the season. McMichael was then credited with a power-play assist to Pierre-Luc Dubois late in the third period of Saturday's game to give the Capitals a two-goal lead. It broke McMichael's four-game pointless streak, and through nine games in January he's tallied one goal, three assists, nine shots on goal and five blocked shots with a minus-1 rating.

JANUARY 19, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Nic Dowd - Two helpers vs. Pittsburgh Dowd finished Saturday's 4-1 win over the Penguins with two assists, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating.

Impact Dowd was credited with an assist Saturday's opening goal in the first period and on an empty-netter late in the third period. He hasn't taken a shot over his last three games, but Dowd has logged three assists over that span after failing to register a point over his previous four appearances.
