GAME LOG
Alexander Alexeyev - Absent for personal reasons Alexeyev was absent from Wednesday's practice session due to a personal matter, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports.
Impact The 24-year-old would likely be in line to play Thursday against Montreal if Jakob Chychrun (upper body), who is considered day-to-day, is unable to suit up. However, it's not yet clear whether Alexeyev will be back with the team in time for Thursday's home game. Head coach Spencer Carbery also said Wednesday that Matt Roy (lower body) is "getting real close" to returning, but it's not yet clear who would enter the lineup if both Chychrun and Alexeyev are unavailable.

Matt Roy - Nearing return Roy (lower body) is questionable for Thursday's tilt against Montreal, but even if he misses that game, he should be back soon, Ethan Cadeaux of Monumental Sports Network reports W...
Impact Roy hasn't played since logging 8:39 of ice time in Washington's season opener Oct. 12. He had five goals and 25 points in 81 regular-season appearances with the Kings in 2023-24. Roy might serve in a top-four capacity once healthy, especially if Jakob Chychrun needs to miss time after exiting Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Rangers due to an upper-body injury.
OCTOBER 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Jakob Chychrun - Considered day-to-day Chychrun (upper body) was labeled day-to-day by coach Spencer Carbery on Wednesday, Ethan Cadeaux of Monumental Sports Network reports.
Impact Chychrun's status for Thursday's clash with Montreal remains unclear, as the team is still evaluating his upper-body injury. The 26-year-old blueliner is off to a strong start to the 2024-25 campaign with two goals and two assists in eight outings -- though he has yet to produce with the man advantage despite averaging 1:35 of power-play ice time. Still, Chychrun remains on pace for a second straight 40-point campaign, assuming he doesn't miss any significant time.

The Washington Capitals host the Montreal Canadiens after Alexander Ovechkin's two-goal game against the New York Rangers in the Capitals' 5-3 win

OCTOBER 30, 2024 • NHL.COM
Trevor van Riemsdyk - Manages assist Tuesday Van Riemsdyk recorded an assist, two shots on goal and two PIM in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Rangers.
Impact Van Riemsdyk had a helper on an Aliaksei Protas tally in the second period, which stood as the game-winner. With four assists over his last five games, van Riemsdyk is adding some offense from a third-pairing role. The defenseman has logged 17 shots on net, 20 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating over eight appearances this season, though his scoring pace will likely drop over time since he has just one 20-point campaign to his name in 10 previous seasons.
OCTOBER 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Taylor Raddysh - Snags helper Tuesday Raddysh recorded an assist and three shots on goal in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Rangers.
Impact Raddysh picked up his first helper of the campaign on a Connor McMichael rally just after a power play expired in the first period. Through eight contests, Raddysh has been a consistent part of the Capitals' bottom six. He's earned three points, 10 shots on net, seven hits and a minus-1 rating. He can add a little physical play, but the 26-year-old is unlikely to score enough to help most fantasy managers.
OCTOBER 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
John Carlson - Garners assist in win Carlson notched an assist, three shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Rangers.
Impact Carlson had been held off the scoresheet in the previous two games after opening the year on a five-game streak. The 34-year-old set up Nic Dowd late in the third period for an empty-net tally. Carlson has two goals, five assists, 20 shots on net, 13 hits, 11 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating across eight contests this season. His spot on the top power-play unit is likely to be more secure if Jakob Chychrun (upper body) misses time, though Carlson would also have to adjust to a new defensive partner at even strength.
OCTOBER 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Rasmus Sandin - Puts up two helpers Sandin notched two assists, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Rangers.
Impact Sandin had multiple helpers for the second time in three games. He played a season-high 24:45 after Jakob Chychrun (upper body) left the contest in the first period. If Chychrun misses time, Sandin is the natural option to replace him on the power play, and he'd likely move up to a top-four role at even strength as well. Through eight outings, Sandin has four helpers, nine shots on net, 16 blocked shots, nine hits and a plus-5 rating from a third-pairing role.
OCTOBER 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Dylan Strome - Provides pair of assists Strome notched two assists, two PIM and a plus-3 rating in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Rangers.
Impact Strome's season-opening point streak came to an end at six games as the Capitals were shutout in Game No. 7 on Saturday versus the Lightning. He was right back at it Tuesday, helping out on a pair of Alex Ovechkin goals in the first period. Strome's top-line assignment has led to consistent offense early in the campaign. He's up to three goals, eight helpers, 15 shots on net, eight blocked shots and a plus-6 rating over eight appearances. As long as he remains in that spot and on the first power-play unit, Strome should be able to replicate his last two seasons, which saw him total 65 and 67 points in 2022-23 and 2023-24, respectively.
OCTOBER 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Nic Dowd - Deposits empty-netter Dowd scored an empty-net goal in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Rangers.
Impact The Capitals were able to nurse a 4-3 lead from early in the second period to the final minute, when Dowd gave them breathing room with an empty-netter. It was his third goal in the last four games. The 34-year-old center has four points, 10 shots on net, 18 hits, eight blocked shots, eight PIM and a plus-5 rating over eight appearances this season. He continues to play a much larger role than his fourth-line assignment would suggest, though a lot of that comes from defensive work.
OCTOBER 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Connor McMichael - Stays hot with goal McMichael scored a goal on 10 shots and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Rangers.
Impact McMichael alone had over half as many shots as the Rangers had as a team. The 23-year-old had racked up 12 shots over his first seven outings, so this is likely a bit of an anomaly, but it was impressive nonetheless. McMichael is setting the stage for a breakout campaign with four goals, five assists, 22 shots and a plus-8 rating through eight contests this season. He's done that from a second-line role at even strength while also playing on both sides of special teams.
OCTOBER 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Aliaksei Protas - Racks up three points in win Protas scored a goal on three shots, added two assists and went plus-3 in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Rangers.
Impact Protas helped out on both of Alex Ovechkin's first-period tallies, then added a goal of his own in the second that stood as the game-winner. This was Protas' first multi-point effort of the campaign. The 23-year-old is seeing top-line usage at even strength, though he's not yet routinely in the power-play mix. He has two goals, five assists, 16 shots on net and a plus-4 rating over eight contests. Protas doesn't play with an edge, but he's got potential as a scoring-only option for fantasy managers.
OCTOBER 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Alex Ovechkin - Tallies twice in win Ovechkin scored two goals on five shots, added two PIM and logged two hits in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Rangers.
Impact Ovechkin had the Capitals' first two goals by the 5:10 mark of the first period. The 39-year-old winger has scored all four of his tallies this season over the last five games. He often scores in bunches, so this hot stretch could go for a while. Ovechkin is at seven points, 26 shots, 26 hits and a plus-3 rating through eight appearances.

Logan Thompson - Not sharp in win Thompson stopped 16 of 19 shots in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Rangers.
Impact Thompson didn't play very well, but the Capitals' offense again picked him up to keep his record unblemished at 4-0-0. He's finished with a save percentage under .850 in two of his four outings, but the Capitals have scored 21 goals in his starts this season. Thompson and Charlie Lindgren have alternated in goal so far, which means Lindgren is projected to face the Canadiens on Thursday and Thompson would be lined up for the first half of a back-to-back Saturday against the Blue Jackets.
