Impact Duhaime left Friday's contest against Colorado after blocking a shot in the final frame. Hendrix Lapierre should suit up if Duhaime can't play, or the Capitals could opt to go with 11 forwards and seven defensemen. Duhaime has logged three goals and two assists through 16 games.

Trevor van Riemsdyk - Hands out assist in win Van Riemsdyk notched an assist and two blocked shots in Friday's 5-2 win over the Avalanche.
Impact Van Riemsdyk ended a five-game slump with his helper on a Connor McMichael goal in the first period. Through 16 outings, van Riemsdyk has eight assists, 27 shots on net, 37 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating.

Rasmus Sandin - Gets goal in win Sandin scored an empty-net goal on three shots in Friday's 5-2 win over the Avalanche.
Impact Sandin was able to close out the scoring with three seconds left in the game. The defenseman is on a roll with three goals and an assist over his last four contests. The 24-year-old is out of the power-play mix with Jakob Chychrun healthy again, but Sandin is still seeing top-four minutes, which allows him to make an impact at even strength. For the season, the Swedish blueliner has nine points, 18 shots on net, 20 hits, 36 blocked shots and a plus-11 rating through 16 appearances.

Pierre-Luc Dubois - Extends point streak in victory Dubois facilitated two goals and posted a plus-2 rating Friday in a 5-2 win over Colorado.
Impact Dubois was credited with the primary helper on Jakub Vrana's power-play marker, and he also set up Jakob Chychrun at even strength. Dubois has collected an assist in three consecutive games and five of the last seven. The left-shot center is on his way to surpassing the 40 points he produced over 82 regular-season games in 2023-24. Overall, the Quebec native has chipped in 11 points (one goal) through 16 games. Dubois is in a three-way tie with Alex Ovechkin and John Carlson for second on the club in assists behind Dylan Strome (19).

Jakub Vrana - Tallies on man advantage Friday Vrana found the back of the net with a power-play marker in Friday's 5-2 win over the Avalanche.
Impact Vrana tied the game at 1-1 in the opening frame after receiving a pass from Pierre-Luc Dubois. Vrana added two shots and one hit in 11:49 of ice time. It was only the second occasion this season that the left-shot forward received more than 10:57 of ice time, so his role and opportunities are limited. Vrana has produced three goals, three assists and a plus-4 rating through 13 appearances.

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.
