Victor Hedman - Snags power-play assistHedman recorded a power-play assist and two shots on goal in Wednesday's 5-4 loss to the Capitals.
ImpactHedman had been held off the scoresheet over the previous two games. The 33-year-old defenseman has avoided lengthy droughts this season, but he also hasn't had a point streak longer than four games. He's at four goals, 15 assists, nine power-play points, 52 shots on net, 40 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over 21 appearances as one of the steadiest blueliners in the league.

Despite the lack of offense, he's been a fourth-line fixture, and he also saw 54 seconds of power-play time Wednesday. Eyssimont has three points, 40 shots on net, 24 PIM and 21 hits across 20 outings overall.

Dylan McIlrath - No path to playing timeMcIlrath hasn't played since Nov. 3, sitting out 11 consecutive games after being scratched for Wednesday's 5-4 win over the Lightning.
ImpactThe Capitals' defense is fully healthy after early injuries for Matt Roy and Jakob Chychrun. McIlrath filled in admirably with two assists, four shots on net, 23 hits and 14 PIM over 10 appearances, but he's now stuck in a reserve role. He likely won't play unless a right-shot defenseman suffers an injury, and when he does check in, he offers more physicality than offense.

Taylor Raddysh - Provides assist in winRaddysh notched an assist and two PIM in Wednesday's 5-4 win over the Lightning.
ImpactRaddysh was the latest player to get a top-six audition to fill the void left in the absence of Alex Ovechkin (fibula). The 26-year-old Raddysh did well, helping out on a Dylan Strome tally in the third period. Primarily in a fourth-line role this season, Raddysh has contributed nine points, 27 shots on net, 21 hits, 10 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating over 22 appearances. He's seen steady time in the lineup, and a move onto the second line could give him some depth appeal in fantasy.

John Carlson - Tallies in winCarlson scored a goal on three shots and blocked three shots in Wednesday's 5-4 win over the Lightning.
ImpactAfter Charlie Lindgren put the puck in his own net, giving the Lightning a 4-3 lead, Carlson offered a quick response to steady the Capitals. The tally ended his three-game point drought. Carlson is up to three goals, 12 assists, 53 shots on net, 38 blocked shots, 20 hits and a plus-13 rating over 22 appearances. His offense could take a hit during Alex Ovechkin's (fibula) absence, but Carlson plays enough minutes in all situations to remain productive in fantasy.
