Matt Roy - Logs helper in overtime win Roy notched an assist, two shots on goal and three hits in Wednesday's 2-1 overtime win over the Canucks.

Impact Roy ended an eight-game point drought with the helper. The 29-year-old defenseman isn't putting up points frequently, but he continues to draw significant minutes while adding physicality. Roy has nine points, 39 shots on net, 69 hits, 50 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating through 31 outings this season.

Pierre-Luc Dubois - Carries offense in OT win Dubois scored two goals in Wednesday's 2-1 overtime win over the Canucks.

Impact The 26-year-old center put together his first multi-goal performance of the season, opening the scoring late in the first period before wiring the winner past Kevin Lankinen inside the final minute of OT. Dubois has been the model of consistency since the beginning of December, getting onto the scoresheet in 14 of the last 17 games and collecting four goals and 17 points while adding 32 shots on net, 12 hits, 12 blocked shots, 12 PIM and a plus-10 rating.

Logan Thompson - Sharp in fifth straight win Thompson stopped 30 shots in Wednesday's 2-1 overtime win over the Canucks.

Impact He was the busier of the two netminders, as Washington was out-shot 31-18, but a Connor Garland power-play tally late in the second period was all that stood between Thompson and his first shutout of the season. Thompson has won five straight starts and he has only one regulation loss since the beginning of December, going 7-1-1 with a 1.99 GAA and .929 save percentage over the latter stretch. The Caps have been reluctant to deviate from a strict timeshare in the crease, but Thompson is making a strong case to claim a larger share of the workload and relegate Charlie Lindgren to a backup role.

Logan Thompson - Tending twine against Vancouver Thompson was the first off the ice during Wednesday's morning skate, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports, indicating that he'll defend the home crease against the Canucks.

Impact Thompson and Charlie Lindgren have alternated starts for most of the season, and that trend will continue Wednesday. However, Thompson is in the midst of a hot streak that could earn him some additional looks if it continues, as he's gone 4-0-0 with a 2.01 GAA and .935 save percentage over his last four starts. The Canucks have had a middling offense this year, as they're tied for 14th in the NHL with 3.05 goals per game.

Sonny Milano - Participates in morning skate Milano (upper body) joined the Capitals for Wednesday's morning skate, though he didn't take contact, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports.

Impact Milano not being ready to take contact suggests he's still not close to returning, but this is still an important step in the right direction. The 28-year-old hasn't played since Nov. 6 because of the injury. When healthy, Milano will likely serve as a depth forward for Washington, shifting between the bottom six and press box.
