Alex Ovechkin - Streak ends in 1,400th NHL game Ovechkin played in his 1,400th NHL game Saturday and went without a point in a 3-2 overtime loss to the Panthers.
Impact His 10-game point streak ended in the loss, but he still had four shots and four hits. Ovechkin is the 41st player to hit that game plateau, and the 10th to do it with one team. He has 16 goals and 42 points in 53 games this season.

Anthony Mantha - Hurt late in Saturday's game Mantha sustained an undisclosed injury late in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Panthers, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports.
Impact Head coach Spencer Carbery didn't specify how serious Mantha's injury is. The winger fought Florida's Nick Cousins in the second period, but it's unclear if Mantha's injury stems from that bout. The Capitals are back in action at home Monday versus the Senators.

Charlie Lindgren - Starting in Florida Lindgren will defend the road net Saturday versus the Panthers, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports.
Impact Lindgren has stopped 66 of 71 shots en route to winning his past two outings. He has a 12-8-4 record this season with three shutouts, a 2.63 GAA and a .915 save percentage over 26 games played. Florida ranks 13th in the league this campaign with 3.28 goals per contest.
FEBRUARY 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Beck Malenstyn - Tallies helper Thursday Malenstyn recorded an assist, four shots and three hits during Thursday's 5-2 win over the Lightning.
Impact Malenstyn's tenacious forechecking help catalyze Nicolas Aube-Kubel's first period goal and the 26-year-old forward now has three points in his last six games -- alongside 18 hits and 11 blocked shots. Malenstyn has become a solid fourth-line player for the Capitals with five goals and 14 points in 54 games in his first full NHL season but the 145th overall pick from the 2016 NHL Entry Draft will need to secure a larger offensive role to generate much fantasy consideration in standard leagues.
FEBRUARY 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Joel Edmundson - Bags apple Thursday Edmundson tallied an assist and dished out four hits during Thursday's 5-2 win over the Lightning.
Impact Edmundson has two helpers in his last three outings after failing to find the scoresheet in his previous 11 games. The offense isn't likely to last, but it can only help boost the 30-year-old's appeal to other teams looking to add a stay-at-home defenseman should the Capitals emerge as sellers before the March 8 trade deadline.
FEBRUARY 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Tom Wilson - Dishes two helpers Thursday Wilson tallied two assists and added three hits and two blocked shots during Thursday's 5-3 win over the Lightning.
Impact This was Wilson's first multi-point game since Dec. 14 as the burly winger has been scuffling since suffering a broken nose in January with just one goal and four points in his last 16 games. With injuries mounting in their forward ranks, the Capitals will need Wilson to become a more consistent offensive producer as the 2023-24 season enters the home stretch.
FEBRUARY 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Nic Dowd - On injured reserve Dowd (upper body) was put on injured reserve Friday, per Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press.
Impact Dowd, who last played Tuesday, was already expected to miss Washington's contest Saturday, but he's now also been ruled out for Monday's game against Ottawa as well. He has eight goals, 16 points, 58 hits and 57 blocks in 45 outings in 2023-24. Hendrix Lapierre was called up from AHL Hershey in a corresponding move.
FEBRUARY 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
T.J. Oshie - Not playing Saturday Oshie (lower body) will not play in Florida on Saturday, per Sammi Silber of The Hockey News.
Impact Oshie won't skate Friday or Saturday and could be out a while as the Capitals are still unsure as to the severity of the injury. Oshie has 10 goals and 18 points in 38 games this season. Look for Tom Wilson to move up to the first line alongside Dylan Strome and Alex Ovechkin, while Sonny Milano could see time on the second power play.

Charlie Lindgren - Third win in last four starts Lindgren made 29 saves in a 5-3 win over Tampa Bay on Thursday.
Impact He entered the third period with a 3-1 lead, but allowed two snipes in a span of just 24 seconds, and the score was tied. Lindgren, who was the business netminder in the game, then bricked things up and his teammates pulled ahead with five minutes remaining. Lindgren has three wins in his last four games, including one by shutout. And he has back-to-back wins in consecutive games for the struggling Caps. Lindgren has delivered better than average counting stats despite the struggles of his Caps squad, so he may surprise going forward.
FEBRUARY 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Alex Ovechkin - Point streak at 10 games, 14 points Ovechkin picked up an assist Thursday in a 5-3 win over Tampa Bay.
Impact The point extended his point streak to 10 games (14 points; eight goals, six assists). Ovechkin's goal pace has indeed dropped this season, but he does have 42 points in 52 games, and is helping his team in different ways than in seasons past.
FEBRUARY 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Connor McMichael - Five goals in last four games McMichael scored twice in a 5-3 win over Lightning on Thursday.
Impact He scored twice for the second straight game and has five goals in his last four. McMichael's game hasn't taken the great leap forward that the Caps and their fans had hoped. But there's still time. At 23, McMichael has just 128 games under his belt. The Caps need their youth to step forward, so the next 25-30 games will be a good test to see if he can step into a second-line role or develop into an effective third liner.

T.J. Oshie - Sustains lower-body injury Oshie needed help getting to the locker room after sustaining a lower-body injury Thursday versus the Lightning, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports.
Impact Oshie had to crawl to the bench and then required assistance to go down the tunnel late in the third period. The 37-year-old, who is four games away from 1,000 in his career, may miss time, as he did not sustain any contact when he was injured. Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports Oshie will be further evaluated Friday.
