GAME LOG

Nick Jensen - Game-time call Jensen (lower body) will be a game-time decision Monday versus the Senators, according to Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post.
Impact Jensen left the morning skate after a brief appearance on the ice. According to Tom Gulitti of NHL.com, the 33-year-old defender crashed into the end boards during the first period of Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to Florida. Jensen was able to return for the start of the second period and finished the game. He has earned eight assists, 50 shots on goal and 85 blocked shots in 56 games this season. If Jensen can't play Monday, Ethan Bear is expected to draw back into the lineup.

Anthony Mantha - Game-time decision Mantha (lower body) will be a game-time decision Monday versus Ottawa, per Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post.
Impact Head coach Spencer Carbery told Johnson on Monday that Mantha stands a "good chance" of being in the lineup after the forward was a full participant in the morning skate. Mantha was injured late in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to Florida. He has 18 goals and 29 points in 52 games this season. If Mantha can't play, Pierrick Dube or Ivan Miroshnichenko are available as replacements.
FEBRUARY 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Ivan Miroshnichenko - Promoted from minors Miroshnichenko was brought up from AHL Hershey on Monday.
Impact Miroshnichenko has been credited with six shots on goal and six hits in four NHL outings this campaign. He has nine goals and 25 points in 47 AHL appearances this season. Miroshnichenko will be an option to play Monday against Ottawa because of injuries to forwards Anthony Mantha (undisclosed), T.J. Oshie (lower body) and Nic Dowd (upper body).

Sonny Milano - Lights lamp Saturday Milano tallied a goal and blocked two shots during Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Panthers.
Impact Milano has tallied three points in four games since returning from an upper body injury that sidelined him for the better part of two months. The 27-year-old could see an increased role if the Capitals move out pending free agents ahead of the trade deadline so fantasy managers should keep an eye on him in the home stretch of the season.
FEBRUARY 25, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Max Pacioretty - Bags apple Saturday Pacioretty registered an assist and added four shots and two hits during Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Panthers.
Impact Pacioretty has not scored a goal since Jan. 11, but has mustered four assists over his last seven games as he works his way back from a significant Achilles injury. The 35-year-old could be on the move prior to the trade deadline if the Capitals continue to lose ground in the Eastern Conference playoff race which could enhance Pacioretty's fantasy value during the home stretch of the 2023-24 campaign.

Charlie Lindgren - Strong season continues Lindgren made 26 saves in a 3-2 overtime loss to Florida on Saturday.
Impact Lindgren came so close to a win. Aleksander Barkov tied the game 2-2 on the power play with 3:30 remaining in the game, and Gustav Forsling score on a slap shot with 1:19 remaining in overtime to seal the win. Lindgren is 3-1-1 in his last five with one shutout. He has started 26 games this season, which matches his starts from last season, but he has upped his game significantly. Lindgren has a 2.64 GAA and .914 save percentage compared to last year's 3.05 GAA and .899 save percentage. The undrafted 30-year-old is having the best season of his career, and he continues to outperform Darcy Kuemper, who has a single win in his last five appearances (1-2-1). The Caps are Lindgren's team right now.

Alex Ovechkin - Streak ends in 1,400th NHL game Ovechkin played in his 1,400th NHL game Saturday and went without a point in a 3-2 overtime loss to the Panthers.
Impact His 10-game point streak ended in the loss, but he still had four shots and four hits. Ovechkin is the 41st player to hit that game plateau, and the 10th to do it with one team. He has 16 goals and 42 points in 53 games this season.

Anthony Mantha - Hurt late in Saturday's game Mantha sustained an undisclosed injury late in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Panthers, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports.
Impact Head coach Spencer Carbery didn't specify how serious Mantha's injury is. The winger fought Florida's Nick Cousins in the second period, but it's unclear if Mantha's injury stems from that bout. The Capitals are back in action at home Monday versus the Senators.

Charlie Lindgren - Starting in Florida Lindgren will defend the road net Saturday versus the Panthers, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports.
Impact Lindgren has stopped 66 of 71 shots en route to winning his past two outings. He has a 12-8-4 record this season with three shutouts, a 2.63 GAA and a .915 save percentage over 26 games played. Florida ranks 13th in the league this campaign with 3.28 goals per contest.
FEBRUARY 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Beck Malenstyn - Tallies helper Thursday Malenstyn recorded an assist, four shots and three hits during Thursday's 5-2 win over the Lightning.
Impact Malenstyn's tenacious forechecking help catalyze Nicolas Aube-Kubel's first period goal and the 26-year-old forward now has three points in his last six games -- alongside 18 hits and 11 blocked shots. Malenstyn has become a solid fourth-line player for the Capitals with five goals and 14 points in 54 games in his first full NHL season but the 145th overall pick from the 2016 NHL Entry Draft will need to secure a larger offensive role to generate much fantasy consideration in standard leagues.
FEBRUARY 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Joel Edmundson - Bags apple Thursday Edmundson tallied an assist and dished out four hits during Thursday's 5-2 win over the Lightning.
Impact Edmundson has two helpers in his last three outings after failing to find the scoresheet in his previous 11 games. The offense isn't likely to last, but it can only help boost the 30-year-old's appeal to other teams looking to add a stay-at-home defenseman should the Capitals emerge as sellers before the March 8 trade deadline.
FEBRUARY 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Tom Wilson - Dishes two helpers Thursday Wilson tallied two assists and added three hits and two blocked shots during Thursday's 5-3 win over the Lightning.
Impact This was Wilson's first multi-point game since Dec. 14 as the burly winger has been scuffling since suffering a broken nose in January with just one goal and four points in his last 16 games. With injuries mounting in their forward ranks, the Capitals will need Wilson to become a more consistent offensive producer as the 2023-24 season enters the home stretch.
FEBRUARY 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Nic Dowd - On injured reserve Dowd (upper body) was put on injured reserve Friday, per Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press.
Impact Dowd, who last played Tuesday, was already expected to miss Washington's contest Saturday, but he's now also been ruled out for Monday's game against Ottawa as well. He has eight goals, 16 points, 58 hits and 57 blocks in 45 outings in 2023-24. Hendrix Lapierre was called up from AHL Hershey in a corresponding move.
FEBRUARY 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
T.J. Oshie - Not playing Saturday Oshie (lower body) will not play in Florida on Saturday, per Sammi Silber of The Hockey News.
Impact Oshie won't skate Friday or Saturday and could be out a while as the Capitals are still unsure as to the severity of the injury. Oshie has 10 goals and 18 points in 38 games this season. Look for Tom Wilson to move up to the first line alongside Dylan Strome and Alex Ovechkin, while Sonny Milano could see time on the second power play.
