Sean Day - Sent to AHLDay was assigned to AHL Syracuse on Sunday.

ImpactDay was a healthy scratch for two straight games following his recall from the minors Thursday. He hasn't played for the Lightning yet this season, but could continue to serve as an extra defender if Mikhail Sergachev (lower body) isn't ready to return following the holiday break. Day has eight assists in 17 AHL appearances this season.

Charlie Lindgren - Sharp in light nightLindgren made 19 saves in a 2-1 shootout loss to Tampa Bay on Saturday.

ImpactThe only puck that got past him came from Luke Glendening, who deflected Victor Hedman's point shot in the first period. Lindgren needed to be sharp throughout and stoned Nick Paul with 1:52 left in the third after the forward got behind the defense. He's 2-1-2 in his last five starts with just nine goals allowed. Remarkably, 20 shots against is the lowest tally Lindgren has faced all season. He's more likely to see 35 shots than 20.

Luke Glendening - Rare goal in shootout victoyGlendening scored a goal in a 2-1 shootout win over Washington on Saturday.

ImpactHe deflected Victor Hedman's point shot past Charlie Lindgren in the first period. Glendening is far from a fantasy force -- he has five goals in 35 games this season. It was his first goal in nine games (four shots).

Andrei Vasilevskiy - Fourth win in last five startsVasilevskiy made 32 saves in a 2-1 shootout win over the Capitals on Saturday.

ImpactAnthony Manta beat him in the second period. Well, the puck went off Mantha after Nick Jensen wired a slapper from the point. Vasilevskiy is 4-1-0 in his last five starts. He was brilliant Saturday, saving the game in OT with a point-blank save off the stick of Connor McMichael with 2:06 left. Vasilevskiy has allowed four goals in three of his last five games, though, so he still doesn't have his A-game. But he's starting to show glimpses of it.

ImpactLapierre 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.

Ivan Miroshnichenko - Returns to minor-league affiliateMiroshnichenko was reassigned to AHL Hershey following Saturday's 2-1 shootout loss to the Lightning.

ImpactMiroshnichenko played in Saturday's game but failed to record a point for the third straight contest to begin his NHL career. If the Capitals get injured forwards back following the holiday break, the 19-year-old winger may remain in the AHL.
