Capitals' Alex Ovechkin ruled out vs. Rangers Washington Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin missed his second straight game with a lower-body injury when he was scratched for Sunday’s contes...
Alex Ovechkin - Out Sunday Ovechkin (lower body) will not play Sunday against the Rangers, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Postreports.
Impact Ovechkin will miss the back half of a home-and-home set with the Rangers as he continues to recover from a lower-body injury sustained during a 6-2 loss to the Hurricanes on Jan. 5. The 38-year-old has a chance to return Tuesday against the Ducks, so fantasy managers should check back for updates in the interim. Max Pacioretty is expected to fill in on the top line alongside Dylan Strome and T.J. Oshie in the interim.

Charlie Lindgren - Between the pipes Sunday Lindgren will get the road start Sunday against the Rangers, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports.
Impact Lindgren will get back-to-back matinee appearances after stopping 25 of 27 shots faced during Saturday's 3-2 win against the Rangers. The 30-year-old has been the more consistent of the Capitals two netminders and getting the call on back-to-back games indicates Lindgren will continue to have a significant role moving forward. Darcy Kuemper might be at the top of the depth chart, but Lindgren's stellar play (2.25 GAA, .928 save percentage) has turned Washington into a legitimate timeshare between the pipes.

T.J. Oshie - Pots game-winner Saturday Oshie scored the game-winning goal on four shots while adding two hits, a blocked shot and a plus-1 rating in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Rangers.
Impact The veteran winger snuck behind the New York defense and tapped home a Dylan Strome pass midway through the third period to give Washington its only lead of the afternoon. Oshie's had trouble staying healthy since late November, playing only six of the Caps' last 23 games, and on the the season he's managed just three goals and five points in 23 contests. He still has a top-six role and spot on the first power-play unit when he's on the ice though, and the 37-year-old might be able to put together a solid second half.

Charlie Lindgren - Picks up win in return Lindgren stopped 25 shots in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Rangers.
Impact The 30-year-old netminder looked sharp in his return from an upper body injury that had sidelined him since Dec. 29, and Adam Fox was the only New York player to get a puck past him. Lindgren had moved into the top spot on the Caps' depth chart prior to his injury, posting a 2.27 GAA and .921 save percentage over seven outings in December before getting injury, and he'll likely regain it soon enough with Darcy Kuemper struggling badly since Christmas (4.26 GAA and .870 save percentage over his last six starts.)

Joel Edmundson - Dishes helper Saturday Edmundson tallied an assist while logging 10:58 of ice time during Saturday's 3-2 win over the Rangers.
Impact Edmundson's helper on T.J. Oshie's game-winning goal snapped a nine-game scoring drought. The 30-year-old is getting regular ice time since his recovery from a preseason hand injury, but with just two points and a minus-4 rating in 24 games, Edmundson isn't much of a fantasy asset.

Tom Wilson - Good to go Wilson (face) will play Saturday against the Rangers, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports.
Impact Wilson will return to the lineup after sitting out Thursday's 4-1 loss to Seattle. He has produced 11 goals, 19 points, 107 shots on net, 111 hits and 70 PIM in 38 games this season. With Alex Ovechkin (lower body) unavailable, Wilson could receive an increased role in Saturday's contest.

Alex Ovechkin - Unable to play Saturday Ovechkin (lower body) will not play versus the Rangers on Saturday.
Impact Ovechkin will miss his first game of the season. He has been hot of late, as he is on a six-game point streak. Ovechkin has had trouble finding the back of the net this season, scoring only eight times, while adding 19 assists in 39 games. Consider him day-to-day at this time.

Charlie Lindgren - Guarding crease Saturday Lindgren will get the home start Saturday against the Rangers, Tarik El-Bashir of Monumental Sports Network reports.
Impact Lindgren will get his first start since exiting early in the first period of a 5-1 loss to the Islanders on Dec. 29. The 30-year-old has been invaluable to the Capitals this season, posting a 2.27 GAA and .928 save percentage behind a 7-3-5 record in 15 starts this season. Darcy Kuemper is atop the depth chart, but Lindgren has been a reliable backstop thus far in the 2023-24 campaign and should continue to get his fair share of starts so fantasy managers should consider scooping him back up if he's available.

Max Pacioretty - Nets first goal with Caps Pacioretty scored a goal on his lone shot in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Kraken.
Impact Pacioretty was responsible for Washington's lone tally in the second period Thursday, as he one-timed an Alex Ovechkin feed past Joey Daccord to cut Seattle's lead to 2-1. It's Pacioretty's first goal and second point in four games with the Capitals this season, after missing nearly a year while recovering from a torn Achilles. The veteran winger played just three games with the Hurricanes in 2022-23, scoring three goals.

Alex Ovechkin - Playing through injury Ovechkin (lower body) is considered "touch and go" according to coach Spencer Carbery against the Rangers on Saturday, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports.
Impact Ovechkin was a game-time decision against Seattle on Thursday but still managed to suit up, logging 16:40 of ice time on his way to a sixth straight game with a point. The world-class winger is clearly playing through something right now and with a back-to-back versus the Rangers on Saturday and Sunday, it could make sense for the Caps to rest Ovechkin for one of those two games.
JANUARY 12, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Tom Wilson - Looking to play Saturday Wilson (face) is hoping to suit up against the Rangers on Saturday, Tarik El-Bashir of Monumental Sports Network reports.
Impact Wilson has been practicing with a full shield after suffering a facial injury against the Kings on Sunday. The winger was considered a game-time call against Seattle on Thursday but was ultimately ruled out of that contest. If Wilson does play Saturday, he should slot into a top-six role, which could drop Hendrix Lapierre from the lineup entirely.

Sonny Milano - Wearing non-contact jersey Friday Milano (upper body) practiced in a non-contact jersey Friday, according to Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post.
Impact Milano has been on the ice at practice this week and has yet to be cleared for contact. The 27-year-old winger last played four weeks ago. Milano has four goals, four assists and 20 shots on goal in 23 games this season. He will compete for ice time on the fourth line with Nicolas Aube-Kubel and Matthew Phillips upon his return.
JANUARY 12, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Rasmus Sandin - Practicing in non-contact jersey Sandin (upper body) practiced in a non-contact jersey Friday, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports.
Impact Sandin was injured Jan. 3 and is eligible to return to action off injured reserve at any time. Sandin has yet to score this season after lighting the lamp seven times last year, but he does have 11 assists in 36 games. Look for Joel Edmundson to become the seventh defenseman, upon the return of Sandin to the lineup.
