GAME LOG
Logan Thompson - Draws start against Boston Thompson will serve as the starting netminder for Tuesday's home game against the Bruins, Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press reports.
Impact Thompson and Charlie Lindgren have alternated starts recently, and that trend will continue Tuesday. Thompson has been productive in his recent outings, going 4-1-0 with a 2.01 GAA and .924 save percentage across his last five starts. Boston is averaging just 2.66 goals per game this season, which is the seventh-worst mark in the league, so Thompson will have a favorable matchup Tuesday.

Brandon Duhaime - Ends month-long drought Duhaime produced an assist and two PIM in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Red Wings.
Impact Duhaime went a month between points, coming up empty over 12 games prior to Sunday. The 27-year-old snapped the skid by helping out on Nic Dowd's third-period tally. Duhaime has nine points, 46 shots on net, 67 hits, 30 blocked shots, 39 PIM and a plus-4 rating over 36 appearances in a fourth-line role this season.

Nic Dowd - Puts away goal Sunday Dowd scored a goal in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Red Wings.
Impact Dowd has scored in back-to-back contests after going eight games without a point. The 34-year-old center is up to 10 goals in just 36 outings this season -- he's now reached double-digit tallies in five straight campaigns, and his career high of 13 is very much within reach. The fourth-liner has 13 points, 49 shots on net, 68 hits, 35 blocked shots, 36 PIM and a plus-10 rating.
DECEMBER 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Alex Ovechkin - Scores again Sunday Ovechkin scored a goal on eight shots in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Red Wings.
Impact Ovechkin has two goals across two games since he returned from a fractured fibula. The superstar winger logged 20:22 of ice time Sunday, so it appears he's back up to full speed after being eased into action Saturday in Toronto. Ovechkin has 17 goals, 27 points, 74 shots on net, 48 hits and a plus-16 rating through 20 appearances. He doesn't appear to have missed a beat during his absence, so fantasy managers shouldn't hesitate to have him active every time the Capitals take the ice.

Connor McMichael - Bags apple McMichael tallied an assist while logging 15:13 of ice time during Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Red Wings.
Impact McMichael got the secondary assist on Alex Ovechkin's 870th career goal. The 23-year-old is enjoying a breakout season with 16 goals and 30 points in 36 games and should be rolled out regularly in all formats.
DECEMBER 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Charlie Lindgren - Surrenders four in loss Lindgren stopped 23 of 27 shots faced during Sunday's 4-2 road loss to the Red Wings.
Impact The Red Wings came flying out of the gates scoring all of their four goals in the first period. The Minnesotan will fall to 10-8-0 in 18 starts and is in line to make his next start against the Wild if Washington continues their pattern of alternating starts between Lindgren and Logan Thompson.

Impact Lindgren will get the second half of Washington's back-to-back after Logan Thompson played in Saturday's 5-2 win over Toronto. The 31-year-old Lindgren has a 10-7-0 record with a 2.61 GAA and a .900 save percentage through 17 appearances this season. Detroit ranks 30th in the league with 2.54 goals per game in 2024-25.
