GAME LOG
Rasmus Sandin - Provides assist in win Sandin notched an assist, four blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 7-2 win over the Blue Jackets.
Impact Jakob Chychrun (upper body) landed on injured reserve Saturday, so Sandin is in line for a larger role. He saw 20:37 of ice time in the blowout win -- that's his second-highest total in 10 contests this season. Sandin has five helpers, 11 shots on net, 26 blocked shots, 12 hits and a plus-7 rating so far, and if he can stay on the second power-play unit, he should have an easier path to offense.

Hendrix Lapierre - Records helper Saturday Lapierre notched an assist and blocked two shots in Saturday's 7-2 win over the Blue Jackets.
Impact Lapierre returned from a two-game stint as a healthy scratch, replacing Michael Sgarbossa in the lineup. The helper was Lapierre's first point in eight outings this season. The 22-year-old has added six shots on net, seven blocked shots, four hits, four PIM and a minus-5 rating. He's unlikely to see much more than bottom-six minutes as the Capitals have found success with their top-six combinations early on.
NOVEMBER 3, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Nic Dowd - Tallies in blowout win Dowd scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 7-2 win over the Blue Jackets.
Impact Dowd has scored in four of the last six games. His tally Saturday was the Capitals' fifth in a first-period blitz that gave them plenty of offense in the win. The 34-year-old center is up to five points, 16 shots on net, 21 hits, 12 blocked shots, eight PIM and a plus-7 rating through 10 contests. Dowd should continue to provide decent depth scoring in a bottom-six role, though his pace is likely to slow down since he's never had more than 25 points in a single campaign.

Pierre-Luc Dubois - Bags apple Dubois tallied an assist and blocked two shots during Saturday's 7-2 win over the Blue Jackets.
Impact Dubois is fitting in nicely in his new home, posting a goal and six points in 10 games. The 26-year-old pivot is out to prove he can still be an impact player at the NHL level and should find the scoresheet more regularly as the season unfolds which will make him a more attractive fantasy commodity.
NOVEMBER 3, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Andrew Mangiapane - Lights lamp Mangiapane tallied a goal and two shots during Saturday's 7-2 win over the Blue Jackets.
Impact The goal ends a four-game pointless streak for Mangiapane who has been moved to the third line alongside Hendrix Lapierre and Jakub Vrana in recent outings. The 28-year-old winger will need to become a more consistent offensive producer to work his way back into Washington's now crowded top six and establish broader fantasy appeal.
NOVEMBER 3, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Aliaksei Protas - Notches two points Protas tallied a goal and an assist while logging 15:19 of ice time during Saturday's 7-2 win over the Blue Jackets.
Impact Protas has his third consecutive multi-point outing and has managed 11 points in 10 games to start the season. The 6-foot-6, 225 pound winger has flourished since being promoted to the top line alongside Alex Ovechkin and Dylan Strome and could break out in a big way if he can maintain a top-six role on the scorching Capitals.

Connor McMichael - Has goals in three straight McMichael tallied two goals and four shots during Saturday's 7-2 win over the Blue Jackets.
Impact McMichael has been on a tear to start the season and is now the team-leader in goals (7) and third in points (12) behind Dylan Strome and Alex Ovechkin. The 23-year-old McMichael is breaking out in a big way and is worth picking up in just about any format as long as his hot streak continues.

Capitals blitz Blue Jackets with five early goals during a 7-2 rout Washington had as many goals as Columbus had shots in the opening period to cruise to a win that opened a busy weekend.
NOVEMBER 3, 2024 • WASHINGTONPOST.COM
Alex Ovechkin - Keeps climbing the ladder Ovechkin tallied a goal, two assists and four shots during Saturday's 7-2 win over the Blue Jackets.
Impact Ovechkin now stands 38 goals shy of Wayne Gretzky's all-time goal-scoring record, the cherry on top of the latter's third consecutive multi-point appearance. After a sluggish start, the 39-year-old is up to six goals and 13 points in 10 games and is once again a hot commodity in any fantasy format.

Logan Thompson - Stellar in win Thompson turned aside 34 of 36 shots faced during Saturday's 7-2 home win over the Blue Jackets.
Impact Despite being staked to a 5-0 lead after the first period, Thompson had to endure an onslaught from the Blue Jackets in the final 40 minutes. The 27-year-old has a spotless 5-0-0 record in his first five games with the Capitals, but appears locked into an even rotation with Charlie Lindgren for the time being. Thompson is worth an add in deeper leagues and is one of the better spot starts in any format as long as the Capitals are flying high.

Dylan Strome - Another multi-point night Strome tallied a goal, two assists, a plus-4 rating and two shots during Saturday's 7-2 win over the Blue Jackets.
Impact Strome has been on fire with three consecutive multi-point appearances and has been held off the scoresheet only once this season. With 16 points in 10 games, Strome, is a must-start in all formats until his hot streak begins to fade.

Logan Thompson - Set to start Saturday Thompson is expected to guard the home net against Columbus on Saturday, per Tarik El-Bashir of Monumental Sports Network.
Impact Thompson has a 4-0-0 record, but that's largely due to the offensive support he's received. The 27-year-old netminder has surrendered at least three goals in three of his four starts, leaving him with a 3.21 GAA and an .876 save percentage this season. The Blue Jackets rank ninth offensively with 3.70 goals per game.
