Pierre-Luc Dubois - Absent from practice Saturday Dubois (illness) will not participate in practice on Saturday, per Sammi Silber of The Hockey News.
Impact Dubois is currently dealing with an illness and won't hit the ice for practice. It remains to be seen whether or not the 28-year-old center is at risk of missing Sunday's home clash against the Kraken, so his status will be monitored closely over the next 24 hours. He's a point per game so far in 2026-27 with a goal and three assists, so if he's to miss Sunday's game, it will be a tough break for the Capitals. If he can't go against Seattle, either Ivan Miroshnichenko or Ethen Frank will likely enter the lineup.

Tom Wilson - Scores empty-netter Friday Wilson scored an empty-net goal on three shots in Friday's 3-1 win over the Rangers. He also added three hits.
Impact Wilson put the finishing touches on Washington's victory with an empty-net goal at 19:59 of the third period, scoring off an assist from Vincent Desharnais. The physical winger also registered three hits, and although his goal came as the Rangers pressed for an equalizer, Wilson is enjoying a solid start to the season. He has five points (two goals, three assists) in his first four appearances of the 2026-27 campaign while entrenched in a top-six role and in the top power-play unit. That role will keep him in a potentially productive spot in most contests.

Timothy Liljegren - Scores equalizer in victory Liljegren scored a goal on two shots in Friday's 3-1 win over the Rangers.
Impact Liljegren tied the game at 1-1 with a goal at the 6:08 mark of the second period, following assists from Dylan Strome and Ryan Leonard. The 27-year-old defenseman, who signed a two-year deal to return to Washington last May, has recorded more than 20 points just twice in his career, and this was his first point of the 2026-27 campaign. Don't expect him to bring a ton of upside in most formats.

Boone Jenner - Nets game-winning goal Jenner scored a goal on three shots while adding a blocked shot and two PIM in Friday's 3-1 win over the Rangers.
Impact Jenner broke a 1-1 tie with an unassisted goal at 17:38 of the second period, capitalizing on a defensive-zone turnover by New York to beat Dylan Garand. The veteran center finished with a plus-2 rating in 13:37 of ice time, but he's not expected to be a steady contributor on offense. As a bottom-six forward, most of his fantasy value will come in leagues that reward physicality stats, such as hits and blocked shots. This was his first goal of the season, and he had 38 points in 67 regular-season appearances for the Blue Jackets in the 2025-26 campaign.
OCTOBER 10 • ROTOWIRE
Logan Thompson - Stops 21 shots in win Friday Thompson stopped 21 of 22 shots in Friday's 3-1 win over the Rangers.
Impact Thompson delivered a strong performance between the pipes, finishing with a .955 save percentage while allowing only a first-period power-play goal to Alexis Lafreniere. The Capitals' netminder was perfect over the final two periods, allowing Washington to erase its early deficit and secure the victory. Thompson has won his three starts this season while posting a save percentage of .900 or higher each time. In his three starts, the 29-year-old has stopped 79 of 85 shots faced, good for a .929 save percentage.
