GAME LOG

Sonny Milano - Frequent healthy scratch Milano was scratched for the eighth time in nine games when he sat out Thursday's 6-3 win over the Canadiens.
Impact Milano hasn't played since Opening Night, when he logged a meager 5:52 of ice time and took a minus-3 rating. The 28-year-old winger had 15 goals and 23 points over 49 regular-season games in 2023-24, a campaign that was interrupted multiple times by injuries and illnesses. With the Capitals off to a 7-2-0 start, Milano may be waiting a while for his next opportunity to compete for a spot in the lineup.

Hendrix Lapierre - Losing playing time Lapierre was scratched for the second game in a row when he sat out Thursday's 6-3 win over the Canadiens.
Impact Lapierre won a middle-six job out of training camp, but he went minus-5 with no points over his first seven games of the season. He took four PIM in Saturday's 3-0 loss to the Lightning and has since been scratched for two contests in a row, with Michael Sgarbossa taking his place in the lineup. Lapierre should get another look eventually, but he'll need to make some sort of positive impact when he draws back in to avoid being rotated out of the lineup on a regular basis. He had 22 points in 51 regular-season outings in 2023-24, so this slow start is a bit disappointing.

Trevor van Riemsdyk - Collects two more helpers Van Riemsdyk logged two assists, two shots on goal and three blocked shots in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Canadiens.
Impact He helped out on goals by Brandon Duhaime and Connor McMichael, with the latter's tally being the game-winner. Van Riemsdyk has six assists this season, all of which have come over the last six games. He's added 19 shots on net, 23 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating. The 33-year-old took on a larger role Thursday with both Matt Roy (lower body) and Jakob Chychrun (upper body) out. Van Riemsdyk's place in the lineup should be safe once the Capitals' blue line is at full strength.
