Jakob Chychrun - Goes top shelf in win Chychrun scored his fourth goal of the campaign Friday in a 5-2 victory over the Avalanche.

Impact Chychrun hasn't missed a beat after missing five games due to an upper-body injury -- he's produced three points (two goals) in as many games since returning. The left-shot blueliner is on the top defensive pairing alongside John Carlson, and Chychrun is also quarterbacking Washington's No. 2 power-play unit. Overall, Chychrun has accounted for four goals, three assists and a plus-8 rating through 11 contests.

Connor McMichael - Stays hot in win McMichael potted two goals in Friday's 5-2 win over Colorado.

Impact McMichael's second goal in the middle frame chased Justus Annunen from the contest. The 23-year-old extended his point streak to five games in the win Friday -- he's racked up five goals and two assists during that span. McMichael is thriving in a top-six role and a spot on the No. 1 power-play unit, and he's up to a team-leading 12 goals, seven assists and a plus-11 rating through 16 outings.

Charlie Lindgren - Light workload in victory Lindgren made 17 saves on 19 shots in Friday's 5-2 win over the Avalanche.

Impact After losing three of his last four outings, Lindgren got back on the right track Friday by helping the Caps snap Colorado's three-game win streak. Washington has done a great job defending in front of Lindgren -- in four of eight starts, he's faced less than 21 shots on goal. Overall, the American netminder is 4-4-0 with an .897 save percentage and a 2.66 GAA while splitting time in the crease with Logan Thompson.

Brandon Duhaime - Exits after blocked shot Duhaime (lower body) did not return to Friday's game versus the Avalanche after blocking a shot in the third period, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports.

Impact Duhaime was hobbled by a Cale Makar shot and ultimately couldn't finish the contest. There was no update on Duhaime's status after the game, leaving his status up in the air for Sunday's game against the Golden Knights. If Duhaime can't play, Hendrix Lapierre will draw back into the lineup.

Charlie Lindgren - Set to start Friday Lindgren is expected to start on the road against Colorado on Friday, per Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post.

Impact Lindgren has lost his past two starts and has surrendered three goals in each of his last four appearances. Those recent struggles have dropped him to 3-4-0 with a 2.76 GAA and an .897 save percentage through seven outings in 2024-25. Lindgren will have a difficult time rebounding against the Avalanche, who are tied for 10th offensively with 3.47 goals per game and figure to be even more dangerous because Valeri Nichushkin (suspension) is set to return Friday.

Pierre-Luc Dubois - Contributes assist Dubois logged an assist in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Maple Leafs.

Impact Dubois has four helpers over six contests in November. The 26-year-old center has added just seven shots this month, but he's doing well in a playmaking role alongside Connor McMichael and Tom Wilson. Dubois is up to nine points, 26 shots on net, 20 hits, 14 blocked shots, 12 PIM and a minus-1 rating through 15 appearances.

Taylor Raddysh - Scores in overtime loss Raddysh scored a goal in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Maple Leafs.

Impact Raddysh has a goal and an assist over his last two contests. He's been on the fourth line for much of the season, but he's averaging 13:27 of ice time over 15 contests. He's racked up seven points, 19 shots on net, 10 hits and a plus-1 rating. Raddysh had 37 points over 78 games with the Blackhawks in 2022-23 before dipping to just 14 points in 73 outings a year ago. As such, a 30-point campaign is very much in reach even with a limited role.

Dylan Strome - Buries goal Wednesday Strome scored a goal in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Maple Leafs.

Impact Strome had gone four games without a goal, but he racked up six assists in that span. He's played provider for Alex Ovechkin on the top line this year, leading to a resurgent start to the campaign for both players. Strome is up to five goals, 23 points, 26 shots on net, 12 blocked shots and a plus-11 rating through 15 appearances. Barring a brutal slump, Strome looks set to reset his career high in points after producing 67 points in 82 regular-season outings in 2023-24.

Lars Eller - Expected to play Friday Eller is practicing with the Capitals on Thursday and is expected to play Friday in Colorado, as reports.

Impact Eller was dealt to the Capitals on Tuesday and sat out Wednesday's tilt against Toronto. Eller is practicing on the third line alongside Andrew Mangiapane and Jakub Vrana. Eller had four goals and seven points in 17 games before the trade.

Aliaksei Protas - Two-point effort in OT loss Protas scored a goal and added an assist in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Maple Leafs.

Impact His tally late in the second period gave Washington a 3-1 lead, but the game was all Toronto down the stretch. Protas is capitalizing (cough) on his spot at even strength alongside Alex Ovechkin, and the 23-year-old has four multi-point performances in the last eight games, piling up five goals and 11 points during that time. However, that production has come without the benefit of consistent power-play shifts, and Protas' 23.1 percent shooting is unsustainable.

NOVEMBER 14 • ROTOWIRE

Logan Thompson - Fades late in OT loss Thompson made 30 saves in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Maple Leafs.

Impact The Capitals held a 3-1 lead heading into the third period, but they got out-shot 17-7 in the final frame and Thompson eventually buckled, giving up goals to William Nylander and Mitch Marner inside the last five minutes before John Tavares beat him on a breakaway in OT. Thompson saw his winning streak end Wednesday, but the 27-year-old has yet to take a regulation loss in 2024-25, going 7-0-1 in eight appearances with a 2.71 GAA and .906 save percentage.
