Charlie Lindgren - Leaves practice earlyLindgren suffered an undisclosed injury at Monday's practice, Tarik El-Bashir of Monumental Sports Network reports.

ImpactLindgren's current injury concern is reportedly unrelated to the back problem that previously forced him to spend some time on injured reserve. Without any back-to-backs on the schedule this week, it's possible that Lindgren won't miss any potential starts. Even once Lindgren is back to 100 percent, Darcy Kuemper figures to remain the primary starter.

Tom Wilson - Pots game-winnerWilson tallied a goal, a plus-2 rating, five shots and seven hits during Sunday's 3-1 win over the Sharks.

ImpactWilson's go-ahead goal was the 300th point of his NHL career and powered the Capitals to their third consecutive win. The physical winger has meshed well with Alex Ovechkin and Dylan Strome on the top line, posting two goals and five points in his last six games. Wilson is re-establishing himself as a multi-category contributor after spending most of the 2022-23 season working back from knee surgery.

Nick Jensen - Tallies helperJensen registered an assist and added two shots while logging 15:39 of ice time during Sunday's 3-1 win over the Sharks.

ImpactJensen's assist on Dylan Strome's game-tying goal early in the third period snapped a seven-game scoring drought. The 33-year-old missed most of the preseason due to a personal matter but may finally be shaking the rust off following a long offseason. At any rate, more consistent production is needed from the Minnesota native before fantasy managers should take notice.

John Carlson - Picks up two helpers SundayCarlson notched two assists in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Sharks.

ImpactThe veteran blueliner helped set up the Capitals' last two goals as they rallied from a 1-0 deficit in the third period. Carlson has a goal and seven points in eight games to begin the season, as he looks to rebound from an injury-plagued 2022-23 campaign that saw him manage only 29 points in 40 games -- his lowest output since 2012-13.

Alex Ovechkin - Two helpers against San JoseOvechkin collected two assists in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Sharks.

ImpactHe also added seven shots on net, two hits and a plus-2 rating to his ledger. Ovechkin extended his point streak to six games (two goals, six assists) with this performance. The 38-year-old winger is now just seven points short of 1,500 for his career.

Darcy Kuemper - Sharp in third winKuemper made 30 saves in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Sharks.

ImpactThe one goal that got past the netminder was the product of some bad luck -- a strange bounce off the end boards midway through the first period sent the puck to the opposite side of the net than Kuemper expected, and Luke Kunin was able to shovel it home over the scrambling netminder's pad. Kuemper didn't get rattled and shut San Jose down the rest of the way. Through six appearances, the 33-year-old sports a 3-2-1 record with a 2.92 GAA and .903 save percentage.
