Impact Roy played Opening Night and left the game early with the injury. He has missed the last five games and has yet to practice with the Capitals since the injury. Consider him doubtful for Saturday's game in Tampa Bay.

Trevor van Riemsdyk - Adds helper in win Van Riemsdyk produced an assist and blocked three shots in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Flyers.
Impact Van Riemsdyk set up the second of Connor McMichael's two goals in this contest. This was van Riemsdyk's third assist over the last three games. That's all of the 33-year-old's points this season, and he's added 11 shots on net, 16 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over six appearances. He'll likely continue to play in a bottom-four role, offering little scoring upside.
OCTOBER 24 • ROTOWIRE
Aliaksei Protas - Pockets helper Protas notched an assist and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Flyers.
Impact Protas helped out on a Nic Dowd tally in the second period. Through six contests this season, Protas has a goal, three assists, nine shots on net and a plus-1 rating. The 23-year-old has played on the top line at even strength, but his scoring upside is likely to remain somewhat capped since he isn't receiving regular power-play usage.
OCTOBER 24 • ROTOWIRE
Dylan Strome - Keeps streak alive with helper Strome notched an assist and blocked three shots in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Flyers.
Impact Strome's point streak was on the line late, but he kept it alive by setting up Alex Ovechkin for an empty-netter. The 27-year-old Strome has three goals, six assists, 11 shots on goal, seven blocked shots and a plus-4 rating through six outings this season. He remains in a top-line role between Ovechkin and Aliaksei Protas, though Strome's had the most success among the members of that line.
OCTOBER 24 • ROTOWIRE
Dylan McIlrath - Dishes pair of helpers in win McIlrath recorded two assists, two PIM, three hits and a plus-2 rating in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Flyers.
Impact This was McIlrath's first career multi-point effort, which came in his 80th NHL appearance. This is also just the second season in which he's had multiple points at the NHL level, as he's often been stuck as an organizational depth option in most organizations. The 32-year-old has added 12 hits, two blocked shots, two shots on net, nine PIM and a plus-1 rating over five outings this season. He'll likely continue to play until Matt Roy (lower body) is ready to return.
OCTOBER 24 • ROTOWIRE
Rasmus Sandin - Registers two assists Sandin recorded two assists, two shots on goal, five blocked shots and a plus-4 rating in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Flyers.
Impact Sandin hadn't gotten on the scoresheet prior to Wednesday, a slump that has seen him slip onto the third pairing. The 24-year-old blueliner broke through, helping out on goals by Taylor Raddysh and Nic Dowd in this contest. Through six games, Sandin has two helpers, five shots on net, six hits, 13 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating. His offense is likely to be limited when he's not seeing power-play time -- John Carlson and Jakob Chychrun have had most of the minutes with the man advantage so far.
OCTOBER 24 • ROTOWIRE
Taylor Raddysh - Tips in goal Raddysh scored a goal on two shots in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Flyers.
Impact Raddysh tipped in a shot from Dylan McIlrath, scoring the Capitals' first goal of the game at 4:50 of the first period. The 26-year-old Raddysh has filled a bottom-six role to begin his career with the Capitals, and he's seen minimal power-play time. He has two goals, six shots on net, five hits and an even plus-minus rating over six appearances. Without a promotion to at least the middle six, he's unlikely to score enough to help in fantasy.
OCTOBER 24 • ROTOWIRE
Nic Dowd - Scores again Wednesday Dowd scored a goal on two shots, added two PIM and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Flyers.
Impact Dowd scored a shorthanded goal Tuesday, and his goal Wednesday came just after he finished serving a penalty for holding early in the second period. The fourth-line center is up to three points, eight shots on net, 15 hits, eight blocked shots, eight PIM and a plus-6 rating over six contests. Dowd won't rack up huge scoring numbers, but the Capitals have him playing significant ice time, so he could have some appeal in deep fantasy formats that count hits and faceoffs.

Alex Ovechkin - Deposits empty-netter Ovechkin scored an empty-net goal on three shots and added two hits in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Flyers.
Impact Ovechkin has scored twice over the last three games. The 39-year-old winger has multiple shots on goal in each of the last five games, and it will be important for him to keep his shot volume up as he continues his pursuit of the all-time goals record. Ovechkin has two tallies, three assists, 19 shots, 21 hits and a plus-1 rating through six appearances.
OCTOBER 24 • ROTOWIRE
Pierre-Luc Dubois - Three-point effort in win Dubois scored an empty-net goal on four shots, dished two assists, added four PIM and went plus-3 in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Flyers.
Impact Dubois earned his first multi-point effort of the season as well as his first goal as a Capital. The center also crossed the 200-assist mark for his career with his first helper of the game. Through six outings, Dubois has a goal, four assists, 10 shots on net, 10 hits, eight hits, five blocked shots and a plus-1 rating while filling a second-line role.
OCTOBER 24 • ROTOWIRE
Connor McMichael - Scores twice Wednesday McMichael scored a pair of goals and went plus-3 in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Flyers.
Impact McMichael scored both goals in a span of 3:12 in the second period, with his second tally holding up as the game-winner. This was McMichael's third straight multi-point effort. The 23-year-old forward has three goals, five assists, 12 shots on net and a plus-7 rating over six appearances. As long as he can maintain his top-six role, the first-round pick from 2019 could be poised for a breakout campaign.
OCTOBER 24 • ROTOWIRE
Logan Thompson - Wins third straight start Thompson stopped 26 of 29 shots in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Flyers.
Impact Thompson has won all three of his starts to begin the season, though he has allowed 10 goals on 86 shots. The 27-year-old has helped the Capitals to a 5-1-0 start while splitting time in the crease evenly with Charlie Lindgren. If that arrangement continues, Lindgren lines up for a road start Saturday versus the Lightning while Thompson would be projected to face the Rangers at home Tuesday.
