Hendrix Lapierre - NHL News & Rumors

Losing playing time Lapierre was scratched for the second game in a row when he sat out Thursday's 6-3 win over the Canadiens.

Impact Lapierre won a middle-six job out of training camp, but he went minus-5 with no points over his first seven games of the season. He took four PIM in Saturday's 3-0 loss to the Lightning and has since been scratched for two contests in a row, with Michael Sgarbossa taking his place in the lineup. Lapierre should get another look eventually, but he'll need to make some sort of positive impact when he draws back in to avoid being rotated out of the lineup on a regular basis. He had 22 points in 51 regular-season outings in 2023-24, so this slow start is a bit disappointing.

Hendrix Lapierre wants to win in Hershey — and then never go back “He understands that he’s still a young guy, but he’s one of our leaders,” Hershey Bears Coach Todd Nelson said of Lapierre.

JUNE 14 • WASHINGTONPOST.COM

Returned to minors Lapierre was reassigned to AHL Hershey on Monday.

Impact Lapierre scored just once in his last 19 outings while chipping in eight helpers and 20 shots. The 22-year-old center played in 51 regular-season contests for the Caps this year and should be a full-time NHL option heading into the 2024-25 campaign. With a full 82-game season, Lapierre is certainly capable of pushing for both the 20-goal and 40-point thresholds.

Nets goal in season-ending loss Lapierre scored a goal on two shots, added four hits and blocked two shots in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Rangers in Game 4.

Impact Lapierre carved through the Rangers' defense to score in the second period, ending an 18-game goal drought. While he tied the game at 2-2, the Capitals were unable to pull ahead and ultimately lost the game and the first-round series. The 22-year-old center took some strides in 2024-25 with eight goals, 14 assists, 51 shots on net and a minus-1 rating in 51 regular-season outings as well as two points over four playoff games. Lapierre should be able to push for a full-time NHL role in 2024-25.

Dishes helper Tuesday Lapierre registered an assist and three shots during Tuesday's 6-2 loss to the Sabres.

Impact Since garnering regular playing time following the trade of Evgeny Kuznetsov to the Hurricanes, Lapierre has been a steady contributor for the Capitals with six goals and 12 points in his last 18 games. The 22-year-old is an important piece in Washington's long-term plans and his late-season success should be enough for him to earn a full-time NHL role for the 2024-25 season.

Scores again Saturday Lapierre scored a goal on three shots in Saturday's 4-1 win over Chicago.

Impact Lapierre opened the scoring 7:01 into the first period, deflecting a John Carlson shot past Petr Mrazek to give Washington an early lead. The 22-year-old Lapierre now has goals in consecutive games and seven points (five goals, two assists) in his last six contests as he's earned a spot on the Caps' top line alongside Alex Ovechkin. Overall, Lapierre's up to seven goals and 14 points through 31 games this season.

Back in NHL Lapierre was recalled from AHL Hershey on Friday.

Impact Lapierre was sent to the minors earlier in the day to keep him eligible for the AHL playoffs. He has six goals and 13 points in 30 outings with Washington this season.

Sent down to AHL Lapierre was sent down to the minors on Friday, according to PuckPedia.

Impact Lapierre scored his first NHL goal on Thursday against the Penguins. The 22-year-old will be back up with the big club soon, but in order to be eligible for the AHL playoffs he needed to be sent down. He will look to provide some depth for Washington in a potential playoff push.

Two helpers against Philly Lapierre collected two assists in Friday's 5-2 win over the Flyers.

Impact The 22-year-old rookie also chipped in two shots on net, two blocked shots, two hits and a plus-2 rating while winning 11 of 19 faceoffs. Both of Lapierre's points came in the second period as he sparked a Caps rally from an early 2-0 deficit, and since getting recalled from AHL Hershey in late February he's delivered three goals and five points in three games. He isn't yet seeing any shifts on the power-play time, but it may only be a matter of time before his role increases.

Scores twice Monday Lapierre scored a pair of goals in Monday's 6-3 win over the Senators.

Impact Drawing into the lineup for the first time since Jan. 18, Lapierre extended Washington's lead to 5-3 early in the second period before adding a second tally later in the frame, finishing a give-and-go with Anthony Mantha. It's the first career multi-point game for the 22-year-old Lapierre, who now has four goals and nine points through 26 games this season. He should hang onto a bottom-six role while Nic Dowd (upper body) and T.J. Oshie (lower body) remain sidelined.

Dishes helper Thursday Lapierre tallied an assist and registered four PIM during Thursday's 5-2 win over the Blues.

Impact The helper snapped a six-game skid for Lapierre, who also found his way to the penalty box for the first time in the 2023-24 campaign. With just seven points in 25 games, it may be difficult for the 21-year-old to secure regular playing time once Beck Malenstyn (personal) and Sonny Milano (upper body) return to the lineup.

Back with big club Lapierre was summoned from AHL Hershey on Wednesday, according to Tarik El-Bashir of Monumental Sports Network.

Impact Lapierre was reassigned for the start of the Christmas break, and he's back with the Capitals now that it's over. The 21-year-old has two goals and five points in 14 contests with Washington while averaging 9:55 of ice time this year.

Reassigned Saturday Lapierre was reassigned to AHL Hershey following Saturday's 2-1 shootout loss to the Lightning.

Impact Lapierre played Saturday, but didn't record a point. He has five points through 14 outings this season and should remain near the top of list for call-ups when the Capitals need a forward.

DECEMBER 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Two points in OT win Lapierre produced a goal and an assist in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Islanders.

Impact The 2020 first-round pick opened the scoring midway through the first period by ripping a one-timer past Semyon Varlamov from the slot. Lapierre has been bouncing between the AHL and NHL rosters this season, and while he has two multi-point performances in his last eight games for Washington, the 21-year-old was held scoreless in the other six. Lapierre saw a team-low 9:00 of ice time Wednesday, but he could earn a more consistent shift as the Caps juggle a number of injuries to their forward ranks.

DECEMBER 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Recalled from minors Lapierre was recalled from AHL Hershey on Tuesday.

Impact The Capitals appear to be stockpiling reserves ahead of the upcoming holiday roster freeze with Sonny Milano (upper body), T.J. Oshie (lower body) and Max Pacioretty (achilles) currently on the mend. The 21-year-old has one goal and three points in 11 games with the Capitals this season.

The 21-year-old forward played 11 games with the Capitals this year, tallying a goal and two assists (all coming in one game against Columbus on Nov. 18). Lapierre should be on the shortlist of callups should Washington need reinforcements later this season.

DECEMBER 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Explodes for three points Lapierre scored a goal and two assists on three shots in the Capitals' 4-3 win over the Blue Jackets on Saturday.

Impact Lapierre scored the game-winning goal on a backhand on the rush to give the Capitals a 4-2 lead. He also picked up helpers on goals by Aliaksei Protas and Sonny Milano. This performance marks Lapierre's first points of the 2023-24 campaign and first multi-point game of his career. He should continue to play on the third line and second power-play unit.

NOVEMBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Drawing in Saturday Lapierre will play Saturday against the Blue Jackets, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports.

Impact Lapierre will get some playing time while Evgeny Kuznetsov (illness) continues to recover. The 21-year-old has no points and only one shot in four games with the Capitals thus far in the 2023-24 campaign.

NOVEMBER 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
