Capitals put Alex Ovechkin on injured reserve, ruling him out at least a week
The Washington Capitals put Alex Ovechkin on injured reserve and recalled fellow Russian winger Ivan Miroshnichenko from the minors17 HOURS AGO • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Ivan Miroshnichenko - Recalled by Washington Miroshnichenko was recalled from AHL Hershey on Wednesday.
Impact Miroshnichenko was left off the Capitals' Opening Night roster this year, but he's had a solid start to the season at the AHL level, tallying seven goals and 14 points over 16 appearances. The 20-year-old will rejoin the NHL club to provide depth while Alex Ovechkin (lower leg) is on injured reserve. Miroshnichenko appeared in 21 games for Washington last year and logged two goals, six points and 50 hits while averaging 12:08 of ice time.

Sonny Milano - Moved to LTIR Milano (upper body) was shifted to long-term injured reserve Wednesday, Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press reports.
Impact Milano remains without a clear recovery timeline -- though this move will keep him out for at least the rest of November -- and the team could use the cap space now that Alex Ovechkin (lower leg) was placed on injured reserve. Even once cleared to play, the 28-year-old Milano was struggling to get into the lineup ahead of Jakub Vrana, so don't be surprised if Milano ends up on waivers or even in the minors later in the campaign.

Alex Ovechkin - Lands on IR Ovechkin (lower leg) was designated for injured reserve Wednesday.
Impact Ovechkin's placement on IR shouldn't come as a surprise considering he was deemed week-to-week by the Caps on Tuesday. After managing just 31 goals last season -- a low mark given his lofty standards -- the elite winger was rolling to open the 2024-25 campaign with 15 goals in 18 contests. It's not only a blow for Washington but for Ovechkin, who looked to be closing in on the all-time goal-scoring record held by Wayne Gretzky (894).

Lars Eller - First point since trade Eller logged an assist and three shots on goal in Monday's 6-2 win over Utah.
Impact The helper on a Brandon Duhaime tally in the third period was Eller's first point in three games since the Capitals reacquired him in a trade with the Penguins. Eller is at eight points, 31 shots on net, 19 hits, 10 PIM and a minus-4 rating over 20 appearances this season. The 35-year-old should be a fixture on the Capitals' third line, though he's yet to see any power-play time since the trade, which could limit his offense.

Andrew Mangiapane - Adds assist in win Mangiapane registered an assist and added two shots on goal in Monday's 6-2 win over Utah.
Impact Mangiapane ended a three-game dry spell when he set up an Aliaksei Protas goal in the third period. Through 18 appearances, Mangiapane has a respectable eight points, 30 shots on net, 14 hits and a plus-5 rating. The 28-year-old has been a steady third-line presence in his first year with the Capitals, so it wouldn't be surprising to see him earn a fourth straight 40-point campaign.

Aliaksei Protas - Stays warm with goal Protas scored a goal on two shots in Monday's 6-2 win over Utah.
Impact Protas tallied midway through the third period for the final goal of the game. The 23-year-old has two goals and four assists over his last five contests, going plus-6 in that span. His lack of a power-play role and a 24.1 shooting percentage are concerning for sustainability, but Protas is at seven goals, 11 helpers, 29 shots on net and a plus-12 rating while seeing top-line usage at even strength. This looks to be his breakout campaign, so he should be rostered in most fantasy formats, at least until his scoring rate drops.

Nic Dowd - Deposits goal in win Dowd scored a goal on three shots in Monday's 6-2 win over Utah.
Impact Dowd finished off a quick play at 7:56 of the first period, just 10 seconds after Dylan Strome got the Capitals on the board. The goal ended a six-game slump for Dowd, who has been effective in a fourth-line role this season. The veteran center is at five goals, two helpers, 24 shots on net, 34 hits, 19 blocked shots, 14 PIM and a plus-5 rating through 18 contests. He's averaging a career-high 16:01 of ice time -- by that measure, he's more like a middle-six forward, through his ceiling is likely in the 25-30 point range.

Brandon Duhaime - 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.

Dylan Strome - Keeps streak alive Monday Strome recorded an even-strength goal and a power-play assist in Monday's 6-2 win over Utah.
Impact Strome evened the score for the Capitals with a wrap-around midway through the first period and later set up Alex Ovechkin's second goal in the power play, giving Washington a 4-1 lead early in the second frame. This was Strome's second straight multi-point effort and also extended his point streak to five games. Furthermore, the 27-year-old center has failed to crack the scoresheet just once in Washington's previous 11 outings, posting three goals and 16 assists in that span.
