Matt Roy - Set to play Wednesday Roy (lower body) is expected to be activated off injured reserve and play Wednesday versus Nashville, per coach Spencer Carbery told Sammi Silber of The Hockey News.
Impact Roy hasn't been in the lineup since Oct. 12 due to the injury. He's projected to serve on the third pairing alongside Rasmus Sandin. Dylan McIlrath, who has dressed in Washington's past 10 games, might be a healthy scratch Wednesday.

Logan Thompson - Exits ice first Wednesday Thompson was the first goalie off the ice Wednesday, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports, indicating he'll be in goal at home versus Nashville.
Impact Thompson and Charlie Lindgren continue to swap starts with the duo going every other game through the first 12 contests of the season. That trend should continue with an upcoming back-to-back, so look for Lindgren to feature against Pittsburgh at home Friday before Thompson is back between the pipes for Saturday's road clash with the Blues.

Jakob Chychrun - Not taking contact yet Chychrun (upper body) skated Wednesday, but he isn't taking contact yet, per Sammi Silber of The Hockey News.
Impact Chychrun won't play if he's not cleared for contact, so it's reasonable to believe he'll miss his fourth consecutive game when the Capitals host the Predators on Wednesday. The 26-year-old blueliner has two goals and four points in eight appearances in 2024-25. His continued absence increases the chances of Alexander Alexeyev remaining in the lineup.

Matt Roy - Making progress in recovery Roy (lower body) is skating in a regular jersey at Tuesday's practice, according to Sammi Silber of The Hockey News.
Impact Roy could return to the lineup versus Nashville on Wednesday after missing the last 10 games due to the injury. Tuesday marked the first day in which Roy upgraded from a non-contact jersey at practice. The right-shot blueliner logged a minus-2 rating in 8:39 of ice time in his only appearance with the Caps this season.

Michael Sgarbossa - Called up Monday Sgarbossa was recalled from AHL Hershey on Monday.
Impact Sgarbossa was sent down to Hershey on Monday before being called back up later in the day. The left-shot center is plus-1 with no points through two games with the Capitals this season.

Michael Sgarbossa - Sent down by Washington Sgarbossa was returned to AHL Hershey on Monday.
Impact Sgarbossa spent a week with the NHL club and averaged 8:18 of ice time over two appearances with the Capitals. He should have more consistent opportunities to contribute in the AHL.

Brandon Duhaime - Nets goal in defeat Duhaime scored his second goal of the season in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Hurricanes.
Impact Duhaime put Washington up 2-1 at 19:49 of the first period after being set up by Nic Dowd. Duhaime offered three shots, one block and two hits in 13:44 of ice time. The left-shot forward has chipped in two goals and two assists across 11 outings in his first campaign with Washington, and he's filling a fourth-line role while seeing time on the penalty kill. Duhaime's career-high mark in points is 17, which he set during the 2021-22 campaign with Minnesota, so the 27-year-old doesn't offer much fantasy value outside of formats that reward non-scoring production.

John Carlson - Banks assist Sunday Carlson registered a power-play assist in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Hurricanes.
Impact Carlson picked up his third point in his last four games by setting up Alex Ovechkin on the man advantage in the opening frame. Carlson has only been held off the scoresheet three times through 11 contests, and he leads all of Washington's blueliners in points with nine. The 34-year-old generated 52 points while skating in all 82 regular-season games in 2023-24, and if he can stay healthy again, he should be able to top that number given his current scoring pace. Carlson's 25:56 of ice time per game comfortably paces all of Washington's skaters.

Alex Ovechkin - Extends goal-scoring streak in loss Ovechkin scored a power-play goal in Sunday's 4-2 loss to Carolina.
Impact Ovechkin scored his seventh goal of the season from his vintage spot on the man advantage in the first period to tie the game at one. It was hist power-play marker of the 2024-25 campaign. The 39-year-old has racked up five goals and four assists during his current four-game point streak. The Russian winger is second on the team in points with 14 (seven goals, seven assists) through 11 games, trailing only Dylan Strome (17).

Charlie Lindgren - Falls to Carolina Sunday Lindgren made 41 saves on 44 shots in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Hurricanes.
Impact Lindgren performed admirably with his 40-plus save effort, but the Caps were thoroughly outplayed by Carolina in the loss. The Minnesota native has allowed nine goals over his last three appearances while being tagged with two losses during that span. Lindgren is sporting a 3-3-0 record, .896 save percentage and 2.70 GAA through six outings.
