Capitals' Charlie Lindgren: Traveling with team
Although Lindgren (upper body) won't return Thursday in Ottawa, he will travel with the Capitals, according to Tom Gulitti of NHL.com.
Lindgren practiced with the Capitals on Wednesday and traveling will allow him to continue to skate with his teammates. He seems to be making good progress and might return as early as Saturday versus Pittsburgh. The 31-year-old has a 10-8-2 record, 2.65 GAA and .900 save percentage in 21 appearances in 2024-25.

Capitals' Sonny Milano: Practices Wednesday
Milano (upper body) took part in Wednesday's practice, though he was wearing a non-contact jersey, per Tom Gulitti of NHL.com.
Milano shouldn't be expected to return to the Capitals' lineup until he starts taking contact, but he's making progress. He has no points, four shots and a hit over three appearances with Washington in 2024-25. Milano should be in the mix for a fourth-line spot once he's healthy.

Capitals' Ethen Frank: Lights lamp again in win
Frank scored a goal on two shots and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 3-0 win over the Ducks.
Frank has opened his NHL career on a three-game point streak (two goals, one assist). He's been a perfect fit on the third line so far, playing alongside Taylor Raddysh and Lars Eller to give the Capitals a bit more scoring depth. Frank is unlikely to be a point-per-game player over a long stretch, but the 26-year-old's scoring touch has been evident in the minors over the last three years -- he has 79 goals across 156 games with AHL Hershey in that span.

Capitals' John Carlson: Goes bar-down for goal
Carlson scored a goal on two shots and added two PIM in Tuesday's 3-0 win over the Ducks.
Carlson had gone 21 games without a goal, racking up 12 assists and 42 shots on net in that span. He put the Capitals ahead 2-0 in the first period of this contest. The 35-year-old defenseman remains stable in a top-pairing role, earning 28 points, 97 shots on net, 80 blocked shots and a plus-17 role through 44 games this season. Carlson's no longer among the elite scorers on the blue line, but he does plenty to help a fantasy team.

Capitals' Logan Thompson: Blanks Ducks
Thompson turned aside all 19 shots faced during Tuesday's 3-0 home win over the Ducks.
Thompson recorded his first shutout of the season and now stands at 19-2-3 through just 24 starts in his inaugural campaign with the Capitals. Only an evenly split workload with Charlie Lindgren (upper body) has hindered Thompson's breakout, but Thompson is expected to get the bulk of the starts with the latter now on the injured list.

Capitals' Nic Dowd: Dishes helper
Dowd registered an assist and two blocked shots during Tuesday's 3-0 win over the Ducks.
Dowd snapped a four-game scoring drought with the secondary assist on Brandon Duhaime's game-winning goal. The 34-year-old has posted two goals and five points over his last 10 games.

Capitals' Pierre-Luc Dubois: Bags apple Tuesday
Dubois registered an assist and a plus-2 rating during Tuesday's 3-0 win over the Ducks.
Dubois made a nifty feed on a two-on-one breakaway to Ethen Frank for an insurance goal in the third period. The 26-year-old has two goals and six points in seven games during the month of January and has been promoted to the top line alongside Alex Ovechkin, which should further enhance his already well-rounded fantasy appeal.

Capitals' Brandon Duhaime: Notches two points
Duhaime tallied a goal, an assist, two shots, a plus-2 rating and two hits during Tuesday's 3-0 win over the Ducks.
Duhaime ended up netting the game-winning goal in the first period as the Capitals cruised to a shutout win over the road-weary Ducks. The 27-year-old has a goal and three points in seven games during the month of January.

Capitals' Logan Thompson: In goal Tuesday
Thompson is slated to start in Tuesday's home matchup against the Ducks, Tarik El-Bashir of Monumental Sports Network reports.
Thompson was stellar in his last start, turning aside 32 of 33 shots in Saturday's 4-1 win over Nashville. The 27-year-old has a 3-0-1 record, .924 save percentage and 2.42 GAA through four appearances in January. Charlie Lindgren (upper body) landed on injured reserve Saturday, so Thompson will handle the bulk of the starts while the former works his way back to full health.

Capitals' Brandon Duhaime: Picks up assist Saturday
Duhaime logged an assist, two hits and two blocked shots in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Predators.
Duhaime ended a six-game slump with the helper. The 27-year-old forward continues to see steady ice time in a bottom-six role, which hasn't led to consistent scoring chances. He's at 10 points, 51 shots on net, 81 hits, 39 blocked shots, 43 PIM and a plus-4 rating over 43 outings this season.

Capitals' Martin Fehervary: Slides apple in victory
Fehervary garnered an even-strength assist Saturday in a 4-1 win over Nashville.
Fehervary helped out on Ethen Frank's first career NHL goal in the third period, which stood as the game-winner. Fehervary added two PIM, one blocked shot, three hits and a plus-2 rating in 21:42 of ice time. The 25-year-old's offensive contributions have been modest this season, but he's off to a great start in January with one goal, three helpers and a plus-5 rating through six games. Overall, the Slovak blueliner is up to 10 assists, 11 points and a plus-8 rating through 43 appearances in 2024-25.

Capitals' John Carlson: Lends helper in Nashville
Carlson provided an even-strength assist and went plus-2 in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Predators.
Carlson registered the secondary assist on Andrew Mangiapane's 10th goal of the season in the third period. Carlson has notched three assists through six contests in January, but he hasn't scored since Nov. 27, a span of 21 games. Washington has eight players with at least 10 goals this season, so Carlson hasn't been relied upon in that category. For the season, the right-shot blueliner is up to three goals, 27 points, 12 PIM, 95 shots on net, 33 hits, 79 blocked shots, 18 takeaways and a plus-16 rating through 43 outings.

Capitals' Andrew Mangiapane: Nets goal in victory
Mangiapane scored a goal on his only shot and went plus-1 Saturday in a 4-1 win over Nashville.
Mangiapane scored his 10th goal of the season at 14:54 of the final frame to put Washington up 3-1. It was Mangiapane's first point in four games, and he's provided modest production in January with two goals and one assist through six games. The Ontario native is slotting in on the fourth line role in addition to the No. 2 power-play unit, and through 42 outings, Mangiapane has contributed 10 goals, seven helpers and a plus-5 rating.

Capitals' Tom Wilson: Back on scoresheet in victory
Wilson found the back of the net on three shots in Saturday's 4-1 win over Nashville.
Wilson opened the scoring on the power play at 9:03 of the second period. The right-shot winger was held off the scoresheet in back-to-back games prior to Saturday, but that came on the heels of a four-game point streak in which Wilson accumulated four goals, three helpers and a plus-6 rating. The 30-year-old needs just two points with 39 games remaining this season to match the 35 he recorded in 2023-24. On the season, Wilson is at 19 goals, 33 points and a plus-9 rating through 43 appearances.

Capitals' Ethen Frank: Scores first NHL goal Saturday
Frank scored an even-strength goal on his only shot in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Predators.
It took just two games for Frank to pot his first career NHL goal, and he's registered a point in each of his first two contests with the Capitals. The 26-year-old is slotting in on the third line and has pushed Jakub Vrana out of the lineup as a result. Frank will look to extend his point streak to three games Tuesday against the Ducks.

Capitals' Alex Ovechkin: Moves closer to Gretzky's record
Ovechkin netted a goal on two shots and added a helper in Saturday's 4-1 win over Nashville.
Ovechkin registered the secondary assist on Tom Wilson's power-play tally to open the scoring in the middle frame, and he sealed the win with an empty-net tally. The 39-year-old snapped a three-game dry spell with his two-point effort Saturday. Ovechkin is now 22 markers away from breaking Wayne Gretzky's NHL record of 894 goals with 39 games remaining in 2024-25. The Russian winger is up to 20 goals, 32 points and a plus-13 rating through 27 appearances.

Capitals' Logan Thompson: Sharp in Saturday's win
Thompson allowed a goal on 33 shots in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Predators.
Filip Forsberg scored on the power play in the second period, but nothing else got by Thompson. It was more impressive the 27-year-old goalie was able to play so well after playing two-plus periods in Friday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Canadiens following an upper-body injury to Charlie Lindgren. Thompson has won six of his last seven appearances while allowing a total of 13 goals in that span. He's 18-2-3 with a 2.32 GAA and a .919 save percentage over 23 outings. Thompson has thrived in a timeshare this year, but the No. 1 job is his alone during Lindgren's absence, so fantasy managers may want to monitor how Thompson fares under a heavier workload.
