Capitals' Martin Fehervary: Ready to play Saturday
Rotowire
Fehervary (lower body) will play Saturday versus the Islanders, Mike Vogel of the Capitals' official site reports.
Fehervary missed three games with the injury, but he'll be back in his usual top-four role Saturday. The defenseman has 13 points through 51 outings this season, so he's unlikely to be in the mix for most fantasy managers.

Rotowire
Fehervary (lower body) shed the non-contact sweater at practice Wednesday, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.
Being cleared for contact would appear to open the door for Fehervary to return to the lineup against the Devils on Thursday, though he hasn't been officially confirmed back in the lineup as yet. If he does play Thursday, the defenseman would likely team up with Alexander Alexeyev in a second-pairing role.

Capitals' Martin Fehervary: Departs Wednesday's contest
Rotowire
Fehervary (lower body) won't return to Wednesday's game versus the Ducks.
Fehervary was ruled out during the third period. The 23-year-old defenseman opened the scoring in the first period, which was his fifth goal and 13th point of the campaign. Trades have already depleted the Capitals' blue line a bit, and both Fehervary and Nick Jensen (upper body) couldn't finish Wednesday's game, which could lead to the Capitals making a roster move ahead of Saturday's game in San Jose.

Capitals' Martin Fehervary: Slips assist
Rotowire
Fehervary logged an assist, two shots on goal and three hits in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Avalanche.

Rotowire
Fehervary scored a goal and an assist on one shot in the Capitals' 4-2 loss to the Wild on Tuesday.
Fehervary opened the scoring in Tuesday's contest, scoring in the slot off a nice feed from Alex Ovechkin. He would also add an assist on Dylan Strome's goal in the second period.

Capitals' Martin Fehervary: Scores in win
Rotowire
Fehervary scored a goal on three shots in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Blue Jackets.
Fehervary's game-winning goal was certainly a unique one. Dylan Strome's shot was deflected into the air, off the helmet of a leaping Fehervary, and past Elvis Merzlikins to give Washington a 3-2 lead in the second period. Fehervary now has a goal and an assist in three games since returning from a 12-game IR stint with an upper-body injury. The 23-year-old blueliner won't offer much offensive production (three goals and three assists in 29 games) but he does provide some physicality with 92 hits and 46 blocked shots on the season.

Capitals' Martin Fehervary: Goals in consecutive games
Rotowire
Fehervary scored a goal on two shots, logged three hits and blocked two shots in Thursday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Kraken.
Fehervary entered this road trip with no goals this season, but he's scored in each of the last two games. The 23-year-old defenseman plays more of a stay-at-home style, so this burst of offense is likely to be short-lived. He's up to four points, 36 shots, 82 hits, 38 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating through 25 contests.

Capitals' Martin Fehervary: Fills empty cage
Rotowire
Fehervary scored an empty-net goal on two shots, added two hits, blocked shots and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Canucks.
The Canucks aggressively pulled the goalie early, and Fehervary made them pay with his first goal of the year from long distance. The 23-year-old defenseman rarely does much on offense -- this was just his third point in 24 contests and his first since an assist Nov. 11 versus the Lightning. He's made up for it in physicality with 79 hits and 36 blocked shots while adding 34 shots on net, 10 PIM and an even plus-minus rating in a defensive top-four role.

Capitals' Martin Fehervary: Lends helping hand
Rotowire
Fehervary delivered an assist in Friday's 5-1 win over the Lightning.
Last season, Fehervary impressively stacked eight goals on top of nine assists through 79 games as a rookie, and he also committed to 251 hits and 117 blocked shots. The 23-year-old defenseman is having a tougher time in the attacking zone this year -- as two assists represent his point total through 16 games -- but Fehervary still has the mean streak going defensively with 54 hits and 21 blocked shots between 20:30 of ice time on the second pair.
