Surprise two-point man Sgarbossa scored a goal, dished an assist and added two PIM in Saturday's 8-1 win over the Blues.
Impact Sgarbossa set up a Rasmus Sandin goal early in the third period before scoring one of his own later in the frame. The 32-year-old Sgarbossa has shuffled back and forth between the NHL roster and AHL Hershey lately, offering a challenge to Hendrix Lapierre's spot as the third-line center. Sgarbossa is at two points, one shots on net, two PIM and a plus-2 rating through three appearances. He offers limited scoring upside even as part of a deeper-than-expected Capitals offense.

Impact Sgarbossa has points in consecutive games and has tied his career-high of seven points from the 2016-17 season. The 31-year-old is likely to remain with the Capitals for the balance of the campaign given that he is no longer eligible to suit up for AHL Hershey's upcoming playoff run, but may struggle to see regular ice time once Tom Wilson (suspension) and T.J. Oshie (upper body) return.

With the latter having since been traded to Carolina, the 31-year-old could get an extended look as the Capitals chase down a playoff spot, but he could struggle to find regular ice time once Nic Dowd (upper body) returns from the injured list.

Impact Sgarbossa tallied his first goal and second point in seven games since his recall to fill the void left by Evgeny Kuznetsov (personal). The 31-year-old could get challenged for ice time by some of the younger talent in AHL Hershey and therefore has limited upside as a fantasy play.
