Ivan Miroshnichenko - Returns to minors Miroshnichenko was reassigned to AHL Hershey on Wednesday.

Impact Tom Wilson (lower body) was activated off injured reserve in a corresponding move. Miroshnichenko has no points, five shots, seven hits and three blocks in four appearances with the Capitals in 2025-26. He also has six goals and 16 points in 20 outings with Hershey this campaign.

Tom Wilson - Off injured reserve Wilson (lower body) was activated off injured reserve, per the NHL media site, which suggests he's available for Wednesday's game in Vancouver.

Impact Wilson had been awaiting medical clearance, and this move implies that he got it. The 31-year-old has 22 goals, 42 points, 59 PIM and 110 hits in 41 outings in 2025-26. Ivan Miroshnichenko might be a healthy scratch Wednesday due to Wilson's return. Getting Wilson back might also lead to Ethen Frank moving off the top line.

Tom Wilson - Awaiting medical clearance Wilson (lower body) will be a game-time call ahead of Wednesday's clash with Vancouver, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports.

Impact Wilson told reporters he needed to speak with the medical team before making a final decision regarding his availability. Prior to getting hurt, the gritty winger racked up five goals and three assists, including one power-play point, in his last four outings. If Wilson does play, Ivan Miroshnichenko could find himself relegated to the press box as a healthy scratch.

Logan Thompson - First goalie off Wednesday Thompson was the first goalie off during Wednesday's morning skate, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports, indicating that he'll draw the road start against Vancouver.

Impact Thompson has struggled to enter the win column since the start of the calendar year, going 2-4-1 with a 2.56 GAA and .912 save percentage. He'll have a favorable matchup against the Canucks, who are scoring 2.55 goals per game this season, which is tied for the second-worst mark in the league.

Brett Leason - Three points in AHL overtime loss Leason scored twice and added an assist in AHL Hershey's 5-4 overtime loss to Hartford on Tuesday.

Impact Leason continues to do well in the AHL. He's earned 17 points over 21 contests. This was his first game back from a stint in the NHL, where he was held scoreless in six outings. Leason's experienced enough to fill in as a fourth-line option for the Capitals, but he's unlikely to have any fantasy appeal even if he gets another call-up.

Jakob Chychrun - Tallies on power play Chychrun scored a power-play goal on three shots, blocked four shots and added six PIM in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Avalanche.

Impact Chychrun gave his fantasy managers a strong performance, though it was a mixed bag on the ice. The 27-year-old has four goals and four assists over 11 contests since the holiday break. For the season, the defenseman is up to 18 goals, 36 points (10 on the power play), 159 shots on net, 65 blocked shots, 42 hits, 45 PIM and a plus-23 rating over 48 appearances. He's well on his way to a career year in most areas.
