Martin Fehervary - Pots goal TuesdayFehervary tallied a goal and added three hits and two blocked shots during Tuesday's 6-2 loss to the Sabres.
ImpactFehervary lit the lamp for the first time since Jan. 2 and notched only his second point in the last 11 games. The 24-year-old is a valuable stay-at-home defender for the Capitals, but his lack of offensive production and ghastly minus-12 rating keeps him from being much of a commodity in most fantasy formats.

Michael Sgarbossa - Bags apple TuesdaySgarbossa tallied an assist and two shots during Tuesday's 6-2 loss to the Sabres.
ImpactSgarbossa has points in consecutive games and has tied his career-high of seven points from the 2016-17 season. The 31-year-old is likely to remain with the Capitals for the balance of the campaign given that he is no longer eligible to suit up for AHL Hershey's upcoming playoff run, but may struggle to see regular ice time once Tom Wilson (suspension) and T.J. Oshie (upper body) return.

Hendrix Lapierre - Dishes helper TuesdayLapierre registered an assist and three shots during Tuesday's 6-2 loss to the Sabres.
ImpactSince garnering regular playing time following the trade of Evgeny Kuznetsov to the Hurricanes, Lapierre has been a steady contributor for the Capitals with six goals and 12 points in his last 18 games. The 22-year-old is an important piece in Washington's long-term plans and his late-season success should be enough for him to earn a full-time NHL role for the 2024-25 season.

Matthew Phillips - Sent to AHLPhillips was reassigned to AHL Hershey on Wednesday.
ImpactPhillips has a goal and five points in 28 contests with the Capitals this season. The 25-year-old being shipped to the minors corresponds with Tom Wilson completing his six-game suspension. The 30-year-old Wilson should be back in the lineup Thursday versus Pittsburgh.
