Aliaksei Protas - Provides pair of helpers Protas notched two assists in Wednesday's 2-1 win over the Kings.

Impact Protas had the secondary helpers on goals by Anthony Mantha and Connor McMichael as the Capitals' third line carried the offense Wednesday. The 22-year-old Protas has found offense in bursts lately with three multi-point efforts over his last nine games, racking up two goals and six assists in that span. He's up to nine points, 22 shots on net, 11 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating through 18 outings overall, though his limited role doesn't bode well for sustaining his recent level of production in the long run.

Lindgren makes 38 saves, Capitals end Kings' 5-game win streak | NHL.com McMichael, Mantha each has goal, assist for Washington, which is held to 15 shots

NOVEMBER 30, 2023 • NHL.COM

Anthony Mantha - Pair of points in win Mantha scored a goal on four shots and added an assist in Wednesday's 2-1 win over the Kings.

Impact Mantha had gone four games without a point since he returned from an ear injury that cost him three contests. The 29-year-old saw just 11:34 of ice time, but he made the most of it while filling his usual third-line role. Mantha has four goals, two assists, 26 shots on net, nine hits and a plus-4 rating through 15 appearances, though his low ice time makes him a risky option at best in fantasy.

Connor McMichael - One of each Wednesday McMichael scored a goal and added an assist in Wednesday's 2-1 win over the Kings.

Impact McMichael's tally at 18:30 of the second period stood as the game winner. He and Anthony Mantha set up each other's goals in the contest. McMichael had picked up just one assist over his previous four outings. The 22-year-old is up to five goals, 10 points, 33 shots on net and a plus-1 rating through 19 appearances. He's primarily played in a third-line role at center since Nicklas Backstrom (hip) stepped away from the team.

Charlie Lindgren - Stellar in Wednesday's win Lindgren stopped 37 of 38 shots in Wednesday's 2-1 win over the Kings.

Impact Lindgren earned his fifth win in his last six appearances with the great effort against one of the league's best offenses. The Capitals' third line did the rest, scoring both goals to lead the way to the win. Lindgren is up to 5-2-0 with a 2.30 GAA and a .933 save percentage through seven games this season. He's working his way into a timeshare with Darcy Kuemper, who will likely start Thursday in Anaheim. Don't be surprised if Lindgren and Kuemper split the workload more evenly in the short term.

Charlie Lindgren - Slated to start Wednesday Lindgren is expected to start on the road against the Kings on Wednesday, according to Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post.

Impact Lindgren has a 4-2-0 record, 2.51 GAA and .926 save percentage in six contests this season. That's a great start to the campaign, but he did allow five goals on 35 shots in a 5-0 loss to Edmonton in his last appearance Friday. He's also up against an elite team in the Kings, who have a 13-3-3 record and rank first offensively with 4.00 goals per game. Washington will also play Thursday against Anaheim, so if Lindgren is starting Wednesday, then Darcy Kuemper will likely get the nod versus the Ducks.

The Caps are slumping on offense. They're trying not to get frustrated. Amid their strong start, the Capitals rank second-to-last in the NHL in goals. They’re ready for their luck to change.

Trevor van Riemsdyk - Supplies helper in loss Van Riemsdyk recorded an assist in Monday's 2-1 loss to the Sharks.

Impact Van Riemsdyk has picked up three helpers and a plus-2 rating over four games since returning from a lower-body injury that sidelined him for four contests. The 32-year-old blueliner was listed on the third pairing but maintained top-four minutes with Martin Fehervary easing back into action. Van Riemsdyk is up to four helpers, 15 shots on net, 23 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating through 14 outings overall.

NOVEMBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Martin Fehervary - Snags helper in return Fehervary notched an assist, two hits and two PIM in Monday's 2-1 loss to the Sharks.

Impact Fehervary missed five games with a lower-body injury and was eased back into action with 15:08 of ice time Monday. He helped out on Evgeny Kuznetsov's second-period tally, which tied the game at 1-1. Fehervary is up to three helpers, 18 shots on net, 31 hits, 21 blocked shots, eight PIM and a plus-1 rating through 13 contests overall. He'll likely see his workload increase gradually as he gets back up to speed.

NOVEMBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Evgeny Kuznetsov - Deposits lone goal in Monday's loss Kuznetsov scored a goal on two shots in Monday's 2-1 loss to the Sharks.

Impact Kuznetsov was held off the scoresheet Friday in his return from a two-game absence due to an illness. He was able to get on the board Monday, but he was the only Capital to find the twine behind Mackenzie Blackwood in this contest. Kuznetsov is up to four goals, nine points, 41 shots on net and a minus-2 rating through 16 contests in a rather slow start to the campaign.

NOVEMBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Darcy Kuemper - Allows two goals in loss Kuemper stopped 21 of 23 shots in Monday's 2-1 loss to the Sharks.

Impact Kuemper wasn't able to capitalize on a matchup with the only offense in the league weaker than the one he plays behind. The 33-year-old has allowed five goals on 50 shots over two games since returning from an undisclosed injury. He's now at a 4-4-2 record with a 2.95 GAA and an .894 save percentage through 10 contests. If Kuemper can't right the ship soon, Charlie Lindgren could carve out a larger share of the starts in goal. Both of them will likely start within the next two games, as the Capitals visit the Kings on Wednesday and the Ducks on Thursday in a back-to-back set.

T.J. Oshie - Surfaces on IR Oshie (upper body) was put on injured reserve Monday, per the NHL media site.

Impact Oshie is not with the Capitals on the road after being injured in Friday's 5-0 loss to Edmonton. He will miss at least the next three contests, starting with Monday's game against the Sharks, following his placement on the IR list. Oshie has one goal, one assist, 30 shots on net, 14 blocked shots and 19 hits through 17 appearances this campaign. In a corresponding move, Martin Fehervary (lower body) was activated from injured reserve.

NOVEMBER 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Martin Fehervary - Expected back Monday Fehervary (lower body) is slated to play in Monday's matchup with San Jose.

Impact Fehervary is poised to return following a five-game stint on the shelf due to his lower-body problem. With just two points in 12 contests this year, the 24-year-old blueliner is unlikely to perform significantly better than he did last season when he notched 16 points in 67 outings. In order to activate Fehervary off injured reserve, the club will need to return either Alexander Alexeyev or Lucas Johansen to the minors, though it could also place T.J. Oshie (upper body) on IR to free up a roster spot.

Darcy Kuemper - First off Monday Kuemper was the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate, according to Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post, indicating he will start Monday's road contest against the Sharks...

Impact Kuemper is coming off a 24-save effort in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime win over Buffalo. In nine games this campaign, he has posted a 4-3-2 record with a 3.04 GAA and an .892 save percentage. The Sharks sit 32nd in the NHL this season with a mere 1.62 goals per contest.

Charlie Lindgren - Cast away by teammates Lindgren made 30 saves in a 5-0 loss Friday to the Oilers.

Impact Edmonton was 3-for-4 on the power play, and the Caps skaters left Lindgren alone on an island all night long. He didn't even have a Wilson like Tom Hanks did in Cast Away. Lindgren should rebound -- he's been strong in November. But he'll see less ice time now that Darcy Kuemper is back, so monitor for the best matchup for him before you lock him into a week-long schedule.
