Capitals' Logan Thompson: Set to face Winnipeg
Thompson will be between the pipes Tuesday in Winnipeg, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports.
Thompson is rolling of late with six straight wins and a 2.47 GAA and a .909 save percentage during that stretch. The 28-year-old has a tough road assignment Tuesday against a Winnipeg squad that has generated 3.45 goals per game this season, which ranks third in the NHL. Thompson conceded five goals in an overtime loss to the Jets on Feb. 1. He's 3-1-1 over six career appearances versus Winnipeg.

Capitals' Jakob Chychrun: Expected to play Tuesday
Chychrun (hand/wrist) is slated to play Tuesday versus Winnipeg, per Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post.
Chychrun's availability was in question after he suffered a laceration to his hand/wrist area during Saturday's 6-3 victory over the Panthers. He has 18 goals, 43 points, 46 PIM, 47 hits and 79 blocks in 65 outings in 2024-25. This will be his first game since inking an eight-year, $72 million contract extension.

Capitals' Jakob Chychrun: Locked up for eight years
Chychrun (hand/wrist) inked an eight-year, $72 million contract extension with the Capitals on Tuesday.
Chychrun's new deal will begin with the 2025-26 campaign and run through 2032-33. He has 18 goals, 43 points, 46 PIM, 47 hits and 79 blocks in 65 appearances with Washington this campaign. This is the 26-year-old's second straight campaign with at least 40 points and the third time he's hit that milestone in his career. Chychrun is getting a big raise compared to his current $4.6 million cap hit, but he should serve in a top-four capacity for the Capitals throughout the life of his new contract. In the short term, Chychrun is questionable for Tuesday's game against Winnipeg after sustaining a laceration to his hand/wrist area during Saturday's 6-3 win over Florida.

Capitals' Jakob Chychrun: Dealing with laceration
Chychrun was cut by a skate in his hand/wrist area during Saturday's game against Florida and is considered questionable for Tuesday's game in Winnipeg, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports.
Although head coach Spencer Carbery said that Chychrun got lucky overall during Saturday's incident, he also described the 26-year-old's laceration as a "significant" cut. It's encouraging that Chychrun will travel with the team ahead of Tuesday's matchup, but it's not yet clear whether he'll be able to play. If he doesn't get the green light, Alexander Alexeyev and Dylan McIlrath are candidates to take his place in the lineup.

Capitals' Matt Roy: Grabs apple Saturday
Roy logged an assist in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Panthers.
Roy has a helper in back-to-back contests, and he's earned three assists with a plus-8 rating over his last six outings. While he doesn't play premium minutes for offense, he's been a fixture in the Capitals' lineup as a shutdown defender. For the season, the 30-year-old blueliner has 23 points, 70 shots on net, 101 hits, 101 blocked shots and a plus-31 rating through 60 appearances.

Capitals' Rasmus Sandin: Sends assist in Saturday's win
Sandin logged an assist, three shots on goal, two hits and a plus-4 rating in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Panthers.
Sandin has had a strong March as a complementary scorer, earning six assists and a plus-6 rating, as well as 11 hits and 16 blocked shots, over 11 appearances. The 25-year-old defenseman continues to play alongside John Carlson on the top pairing, though the Capitals' blue line is one of the strongest in the league from top to bottom. Sandin is up to 27 points, 71 shots on net, 82 hits, 101 blocked shots and a plus-24 rating across 70 appearances.

Capitals' Martin Fehervary: Dishes two apples in win
Fehervary distributed two assists in Saturday's 6-3 win against Florida.
Fehervary posted a strong second period with two secondary helpers across a six-minute span in Saturday's contest. With his two tallies, the 25-year-old defenseman is up to 18 assists, 22 points, 139 blocks and 121 hits in 70 games this season. Fehervary has provided excellent category coverage throughout the season, and his recent presence on Washington's scoresheets makes him a well-rounded blueliner in fantasy. He has seven points and his last 10 games and is hot at the right time with the fantasy playoffs upon us. Fehervary should be available in most leagues and is a worthy addition to rosters in all formats.

Capitals' John Carlson: Nets goal Saturday
Carlson scored a goal and blocked five shots in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Panthers.
Carlson netted the second goal of the game for the Capitals off feeds from Connor McMichael and Pierre-Luc Dubois.

Carlson ranks 13th among defensemen in points and is just six points away from matching his point total from a year ago. His durability and consistent playmaking presence for the Capitals make him a strong blueliner to deploy in the fantasy playoffs.

Capitals' Andrew Mangiapane: Tallies goal Saturday
Mangiapane scored a goal and tallied three shots on net in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Panthers.
Mangiapane's goal was the final of six tallies put away but the Capitals and the third of three goals scored in the first six minutes of the second period. Overall, the 28-year-old Mangiapane is up to 13 goals, 25 points and 82 shots on net in 69 appearances this season. He has goals in back-to-back games for the Capitals and is showing encouraging flashes on offense. Mangiapane has good natural scoring instincts and an above-average shot, with double-digit goals on just 82 shots on goal. While his upside is limited in a third-line role, he is one of many Capitals who can provide solid value down the stretch in fantasy.

Capitals' Anthony Beauvillier: Lights lamp Saturday
Beauvillier tallied a goal and had four shots on goal in Saturday's 6-3 win against the Panthers.
Beauvillier notched Washington's third goal of the contest just one minute after the Panthers tied the game at two apiece. His tally Saturday was his second since joining the Capitals after being acquired from the Penguins in a March 2 trade. Beauvillier has four points in his last six games and is up to 15 goals, 24 points and 133 shots on net in 70 appearances this season. He has settled into a role as a right winger on Washington's fourth line and has a capped ceiling in fantasy while in this role. However, he has three points in his last two games and can have sneaky fantasy value in the postseason if he can continue his scoring run and move up the lineup.

Capitals' Dylan Strome: Nets goal Saturday
Strome scored a goal on his lone shot on net in Saturday's 6-3 win over Florida.
Strome tallied the latter of two goals scored by the Capitals in the first minute of the second period. The 28-year-old center is up to 23 goals, 45 assists and 123 shots on net in 70 games this season. With his tally Saturday, Strome set a new career high in points with 68, passing his 67 from last season. That production includes 22 points in his last 21 games. Strome has thrived centering Washington's top line this season, as he's tied for 26th in points across the league.

Capitals' Alex Ovechkin: Plates two helpers Saturday
Ovechkin dished out two assists and fired five shots on net in Saturday's 6-3 win against the Panthers.
While Ovechkin's chase of Wayne Gretzky's goal record has been at the forefront of the NHL, it's easy to forget the strong impact he can make as a playmaker. Ovechkin's two helpers were on goals scored across a five-minute span early in the second period. The 39-year-old superstar is up to 24 assists, 59 points and 200 shots on goal in just 54 appearances this season. He should finish the campaign above a point-per-game pace after missing time with a broken fibula. Ovechkin has 25 points over the last 20 games and will remain highly motivated down the stretch as he chases Gretzky's goal record, which should help Ovechkin produce plenty of fantasy value.

Capitals' Tom Wilson: Tallies two points in win
Wilson scored a goal, provided an assist, and put out six hits in Saturday's 6-3 win against Florida.
Wilson helped out on Washington's first goal of the game before lighting the lamp himself just seven seconds into the second period. The 30-year-old enforcer is up to 31 goals, 28 assists and 197 hits in 69 appearances this season. Wilson has posted six multi-point performances in his last 10 games to bring his season total to 59 points, which is already seven more than his previous career high. He provides value in all fantasy formats and has a premium player profile in banger leagues.

McMichael's offensive contributions came on Washington's first two goals in the game. He scored his goal just three minutes into the game before assisting John Carlson's tally later in the first period. The 24-year-old McMichael now has 25 goals, 29 assists and 155 shots on net in 70 games this season. This breakout campaign for McMichael has been extremely steady offensively. He has 15 points in his last 17 games and his overall consistency makes him a strong option to deploy in the fantasy playoffs.

Capitals' Logan Thompson: Strong performance in win
Thompson made 33 saves on 36 shots in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Panthers.
After allowing three goals in a shaky first period, Thompson stood firm to tend a clean game the rest of the way. The 28-year-old netminder is up to an impressive 31-4-5 record with a 2.30 GAA and a .917 save percentage. With Saturday's win, Thompson extended his winning streak to six games. He is a top-tier fantasy option between the pipes and should be started with full confidence in all leagues with his win over the defending champions being proof that he is on top of his game. His next opportunity to guard the crease is Tuesday against the Jets.
