Beck Malenstyn - Returning Saturday Malenstyn (personal) will rejoin the Capitals on Saturday against St. Louis, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports.
Impact Malenstyn (personal) sat out Thursday's contest, but he appears good to go Saturday in St. Louis. The 25-year-old forward has four goals, 10 points and 99 hits through 42 games in a bottom-six role this season.
JANUARY 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Joel Edmundson - Ready to go Saturday Edmundson (upper body) will return Saturday against St. Louis, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports.
Impact Edmundson will rejoin the Caps' lineup after missing Thursday's contest. The 30-year-old blueliner has a goal and three points through 27 games this season. Trevor van Riemsdyk will likely return to the press box with Edmundson returning.

Charlie Lindgren - First off Saturday Lindgren was the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports. indicating he will defend the road net Saturday against the Blues.
Impact Lindgren is coming off an 18-save performance in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Capitals. He has earned a 9-4-3 record this campaign with two shutouts, a 2.22 GAA and a .927 save percentage over 18 games played. The Blues rank 26th in the league this season with 2.79 goals per contest.

Protas signs 5-year, $16.875 million contract with Capitals | NHL.com Forward has 18 points this season, could have become restricted free agent
JANUARY 20, 2024 • NHL.COM
Aliaksei Protas - Inks extension Protas signed a five-year, $16.875 million contract extension on Friday.
Impact Protas was a pending restricted free agent heading into the summer, but in the midst of a career-best 18 points in 42 games, the Capitals wasted no time in locking the hulking winger to a long-term deal. The 23-year-old will need to continue to improve his offensive production in order to live up to his $3.375 million annual salary, but Protas owns an intriguing blend of size and skill and will be a key member of Washington's offense for years to come.

Nic Dowd - Running hot Dowd has posted three goals and seven points over the last 10 games.
Impact Dowd is rebounding from a quiet December which saw him post just two goals and one assist in 14 games. The 33-year-old could garner plenty of interest if Washington decides to be sellers at the upcoming trade deadline, but has only topped the 20-point mark four times in his career so this boon to his fantasy appeal may be short-lived.

Martin Fehervary - Notches helper Thursday Fehervary tallied an assist, a plus-2 rating and two hits during Thursday's 5-2 win over the Blues.
Impact Fehervary has points in consecutive outings as well as four points over his last nine games. The 24-year-old is a reliable stay-at-home presence on the top defense pairing with John Carlson, but Fehervary has yet to establish himself as the kind of consistent point producer that is appealing to fantasy managers in most formats.
JANUARY 19, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
John Carlson - Notches two points Thursday Carlson tallied two assists and a plus-2 rating during Thursday's 5-2 win over the Blues.
Impact Carlson has rebounded nicely since the calendar rolled into 2024, posting two goals and seven points in nine games thus far in January. The 34-year-old is still generating solid offense with 26 points in 43 games, but is on pace for his lowest goal total in a decade which is likely to disappoint fantasy managers who were expecting more robust production.
JANUARY 19, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Nicolas Aube-Kubel - Lights lamp Thursday Aube-Kubel recorded a goal and added three hits during Thursday's 5-2 win over the Blues.
Impact Aube-Kubel received some fortuitous puck luck as a slot pass ended up redirecting off a Blues defender and past goaltender Jordan Binnington. The 27-year-old has notched two goals and five points in his last seven outings, but Aube-Kubel's role as a depth forward keeps him from being a reliable fantasy asset.
JANUARY 19, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Hendrix Lapierre - Dishes helper Thursday Lapierre tallied an assist and registered four PIM during Thursday's 5-2 win over the Blues.
Impact The helper snapped a six-game skid for Lapierre, who also found his way to the penalty box for the first time in the 2023-24 campaign. With just seven points in 25 games, it may be difficult for the 21-year-old to secure regular playing time once Beck Malenstyn (personal) and Sonny Milano (upper body) return to the lineup.

Charlie Lindgren - Difference maker again Lindgren made 17 saves in a 5-2 win over the Blues on Thursday.
Impact Lindgren was the difference maker for the Caps on five penalty kills -- he didn't allow a goal. In fact the only two goals he allowed were both deflections which are almost impossible to stop. Lindgren continues to play strong hockey for the Caps. He has allowed two or fewer goals in six straight starts, and his save percentage this season is an excellent .927.
JANUARY 19, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Alex Ovechkin - Assist in return from injury Ovechkin (lower body) picked up an assist Thursday in a 5-2 win over the Blues in his return to the lineup after missing three games.
Impact Ovie played 15:25 in his return, and the assist increased his point streak to seven games and eight points (two goals, six assists). Ovechkin has picked up his scoring pace after a slow start and has 28 points in 40 games. But he has just eight goals, which seriously slows down his quest to overtake Wayne Gretzky for the all-time goal lead. Ovie's last goal came Jan. 2, and he's 64 goals from tying the Great One who holds the record with 894 goals.

T.J. Oshie - Sixth career NHL hattie Oshie scored a hat trick Thursday in a 5-2 win over the Blues.
Impact It was the sixth NHL hattie for Oshie, who has six points, including five goals, in his last four games. He opened the scoring while on a first-period power play. He won a puck battle in the left face-off circle and wired a wrist shot over Jordan Binnington's left shoulder. Oshie's next goal, which was an easy finish on a tic-tac-toe play, pushed the lead to 3-1 and stood as the winner. His last goal went into the empty net. Oshie started the season with two points in his first 19 games, but has eight points (six goals, two assists) in his last seven games. Hot is hot, even at 37 years old.
