Bags apple Friday Duhaime registered an assist, two shots and five hits during Friday's 5-4 overtime win over the Islanders.

Impact Duhaime has quickly found a home on Washington's fourth line with four goals and eight points in just 23 games - matching his offensive output from last season in 39 fewer contests. The rugged winger has the potential to set new career highs if he can keep his production up, but Duhaime does not yet produce offense with enough consistency to garner much fantasy consideration.

Scores, assists Monday Duhaime scored a goal and added an assist in Monday's 6-2 win over Utah.

Impact Duhaime posted his first multi-point effort this season, snapping a three-game streak in which he didn't crack the scoresheet. The winger has three goals and two assists across nine November outings, but his lack of consistency on a game-to-game basis limits his upside in most formats.

Missing first game of season Duhaime (lower body) won't be available Sunday against the Golden Knights, per Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post.

Impact Duhaime took part in warmups, but he'll need some more time to recover after blocking a shot against Colorado on Friday. Hendrix Lapierre will replace Duhaime in the lineup, and the former will slot in on the fourth line alongside Nic Dowd and Taylor Raddysh.

Status in question Sunday Duhaime (lower body) will be a game-time decision for Sunday's road matchup versus the Golden Knights, according to Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post.

Impact Duhaime left Friday's contest against Colorado after blocking a shot in the final frame. Hendrix Lapierre should suit up if Duhaime can't play, or the Capitals could opt to go with 11 forwards and seven defensemen. Duhaime has logged three goals and two assists through 16 games.

Exits after blocked shot Duhaime (lower body) did not return to Friday's game versus the Avalanche after blocking a shot in the third period, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports.

Impact Duhaime was hobbled by a Cale Makar shot and ultimately couldn't finish the contest. There was no update on Duhaime's status after the game, leaving his status up in the air for Sunday's game against the Golden Knights. If Duhaime can't play, Hendrix Lapierre will draw back into the lineup.

Tallies in blowout win Duhaime scored a goal on three shots and added four hits in Saturday's 8-1 win over the Blues.

Impact Duhaime got in on the fun late in the third period, scoring the last goal of the game. The 27-year-old has four points over his last six outings, giving him three goals, two assists and a plus-2 rating through 14 contests overall. The fourth-liner has added 18 PIM, 13 blocked shots and 33 hits while averaging a career-best 14:17 of ice time. Duhaime could be poised for a career year if he continues to see more minutes, but his scoring production is unlikely to be consistent.

Nets goal in defeat Duhaime scored his second goal of the season in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Hurricanes.

Impact Duhaime put Washington up 2-1 at 19:49 of the first period after being set up by Nic Dowd. Duhaime offered three shots, one block and two hits in 13:44 of ice time. The left-shot forward has chipped in two goals and two assists across 11 outings in his first campaign with Washington, and he's filling a fourth-line role while seeing time on the penalty kill. Duhaime's career-high mark in points is 17, which he set during the 2021-22 campaign with Minnesota, so the 27-year-old doesn't offer much fantasy value outside of formats that reward non-scoring production.

Impact Duhaime won a puck battle at the top of the circle and sent a knuckler past Cayden Primeau to knot that game at two goals apiece. It was the first tally of the season for Duhaime, a fourth-line winger who has more PIM (16) than shots (14) in first season with Washington.

Bags apple Duhaime tallied an assist, two shots and a plus-2 rating during Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Flyers.

Impact Duhaime gets his first point as a member of the Washington Capitals with a nifty feed to Jacob Chychrun in the third period. The fourth-round pick from the 2016 NHL Entry Draft is meshing well on Washington's fourth line, but doesn't have the offensive pedigree to garner much fantasy relevance.

Makes two-year commitment Duhaime signed a two-year, $3.7 million contract with the Capitals on Monday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

Finds twine Thursday Duhaime scored a goal and blocked two shots in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Stars in Game 2.

Impact Duhaime earned his first point of the playoffs with a third-period goal. His last scoring contribution also came against the Stars when he had a goal and an assist April 7. The fourth-liner has four shots on net, 24 hits, six blocked shots, six PIM and a minus-1 rating through seven postseason contests, and he shouldn't be expected to put up much offense in a limited role.
