Dylan Strome - Two-point effort SundayStrome scored an even-strength goal and added a power-play assist in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Wild.
ImpactBoth points came in the third period as the Capitals tried to rally from a 4-1 deficit. Strome is reaping the rewards of having a healthy Alex Ovechkin as his linemate, and over the last 11 games the third overall pick in the 2015 NHL Draft has five goals and 15 points. Strome sits five goals and five points shy of tying his career highs in each category.

Charlie Lindgren - Gets little help in lossLindgren made 35 saves in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Wild.
ImpactFor the most part, Minnesota's goals came as a result of the Wild out-working Washington's defense rather than poor play by Lindgren, but he still lost for the third time in four starts since the All-Star break. With Darcy Kuemper (upper body) banged up, Lindgren's workload could increase significantly in the short term, but his 2.87 GAA and .902 save percentage don't make him a particularly appealing fantasy option.

Matt Boldy - Powers win with hat trickBoldy scored three goals in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Capitals.
ImpactThe second-year winger beat Charlie Lindgren twice in the first five minutes of the first period, then completed his second career hat trick midway through the third on a breakaway. Boldy has three multi-point performances in the last five games as he steps up in the absence of Kirill Kaprizov (lower body), producing five goals and nine points over that stretch.
