Impact Sandin took part in Saturday's optional skate, but isn't a lock to take on the Coyotes. Ethan Bear is likely to draw in should Sandin - who has three goals and eight points in his last 15 games- be unable to go.

Rasmus Sandin - Questionable Sunday Sandin (undisclosed) is questionable for Sunday's matinee against the Coyotes, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports.
Beck Malenstyn - Questionable for Sunday Malenstyn (illness) is uncertain to play Sunday against the Coyotes, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports.
Impact Malenstyn faces a short turnaround to be ready for Sunday's matinee against the Coyotes. Pierrick Dube or Ivan Miroshnichenko figure to draw in should the 26-year-old be unable to play.

Anthony Mantha - Extends point streak Mantha registered a power-play goal during Friday's 5-2 win over the Flyers.
Impact Mantha has points in three consecutive games and has notched 14 points over his last 15 games. The pending unrestricted free agent should garner some interest at the upcoming March 8 trade deadline should the Capitals choose to get some assets for him, but Mantha has been a key offensive cog for a Washington team that is still very much in the playoff race.

Joel Edmundson - Bags apple Friday Edmundson tallied an assist, three shots and three hits during Friday's 5-2 win over the Flyers.
Impact Edmundson has three helpers in his last seven games would should boost his asking price should the Capitals become sellers in advance of the March 8 trade deadline. The 30-year-old is an effective, stay-at-home defender that could be very helpful for teams with Stanley Cup aspirations, but with just six points in 43 games on the season, he isn't much of a fantasy asset.

Max Pacioretty - Two-point effort in win Pacioretty picked up two assists in Friday's 5-2 win over the Flyers.
Impact The veteran winger helped set up tallies by Sonny Milano in the second period and Dylan Strome in the third. It was Pacioretty's first multi-point performance since Jan. 18, but he did extend his current point streak to four games. Over the last 10 contests, he's put together a solid two goals and eight points.

Hendrix Lapierre - Two helpers against Philly Lapierre collected two assists in Friday's 5-2 win over the Flyers.
Impact The 22-year-old rookie also chipped in two shots on net, two blocked shots, two hits and a plus-2 rating while winning 11 of 19 faceoffs. Both of Lapierre's points came in the second period as he sparked a Caps rally from an early 2-0 deficit, and since getting recalled from AHL Hershey in late February he's delivered three goals and five points in three games. He isn't yet seeing any shifts on the power-play time, but it may only be a matter of time before his role increases.

Dylan Strome - Three points in Friday's win Strome scored a goal and added two assists, one on the power play, in Friday's 5-2 win over the Flyers.
Impact The 26-year-old center continues to roll. Strome has produced three multi-point performances in the last six games, and over the last 14 contests he's erupted for six goals and 18 points. While he's never lived up to the expectations that came with being the third overall pick in the 2015 NHL Draft, Strome seems to have found a home in Washington -- he needs one more goal to tie the career-high 23 he scored in 2022-23 during his first season with the Caps, and he's on pace for his second straight 60-point campaign.

Charlie Lindgren - Collects win against Philly Lindgren made 21 saves in Friday's 5-2 win over the Flyers.
Impact After coughing up eight goals against the Red Wings on Tuesday, Lindgren looked like he might be in for another rough outing Friday when the Flyers grabbed a 2-0 lead in the first period. The 30-year-old netminder didn't lose focus though and shut the door the rest of the way. The win was his 13th of the season, tying the career high he set in 2022-23, but his hold on the starting job for the Capitals could be slipping -- since the beginning of February, Lindgren's gone 4-3-1 in eight starts with a shaky 3.46 GAA and .884 save percentage.
