Impact Fehervary snapped a six-game point drought when he helped out on Alex Ovechkin's third-period tally. The 25-year-old Fehervary looks set to stay in a top-four role, albeit with a defensive focus, while Jakob Chychrun (upper body) is out.

Matt Roy - Logs helper in return Roy notched an assist, three shots on goal, five hits, three blocked shots and two PIM in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Predators.

Impact Roy returned from a 10-game absence due to a lower-body injury and immediately retook a top-four role. He saw 20:07 of ice time on the second pairing. The 29-year-old defenseman offers modest offense, but he should be a decent source of non-scoring production, particularly blocked shots and hits, going forward.

Impact Protas bounced back from a scoreless outing Sunday versus the Hurricanes, tallying his fourth goal and eighth point in the last five games Wednesday.

Dylan Strome - Two more helpers Wednesday Strome notched two assists in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Predators.

Impact The 27-year-old continues racing toward a career-best season, collecting helpers on tallies by Aliaksei Protas in the second period and then Alex Ovechkin's game-winner in the third. Strome has failed to get onto the scoresheet only once in the Capitals' first 12 games, piling up four goals and 19 points over that stretch.

Impact After helping to set up an Aliaksei Protas tally late in the second period, Ovechkin snapped home his eighth goal of the season, and first GWG, midway through the third on a slick feed from Dylan Strome. Ovie is red hot right now, finding the back of the net in five straight contests while racking up six goals and 11 points over that stretch, and the surge has carried him to 861 career goals -- just 33 back of Wayne Gretzky at the top of the all-time list.

Logan Thompson - Stays perfect Thompson stopped 33 shots in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Predators.

Impact The former Golden Knight is a perfect 6-0-0 to begin his first campaign with the Capitals, allowing three goals or less in five of his six starts with a 2.81 GAA and .903 save percentage. The strict rotation between Thompson and Charlie Lindgren is working out great for Washington, but it's the latter that's been between the pipes for all three of the team's losses so far.
