Stanislav Galiev: Heading home to Russia
Galiev agreed to terms on a two-year contract with KHL Ak Bars on Friday.
After failing to crack the 23-man roster for the Capitals this past season, Galiev will join the KHL. Despite hailing from Russia, the 25-year-old has never played for any European-based club aside from national junior teams. Instead, the winger came up through the QMJHL with the Saint John Sea Dogs before getting selected in the third round of the 2010 NHL Entry Draft. Galiev put up a solid 40 points in 56 outings for AHL Hershey last season, so don't be surprised to see him get another look from an NHL club down the road.

Galiev and three others were waived by the Capitals on Saturday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.
Christian Thomas, Brad Malone, and Paul Carey were the other forwards hitting the waiver wire as Washington slims down its roster before Opening Night. Galiev, known to be an offensive creator, has played in 26 NHL games over his career, totaling one goal and three assists.

Capitals' Stanislav Galiev: Likely to draw into lineup Friday
Galiev will draw into the lineup if T.J. Oshie (illness) is unable to play, Isabelle Khurshudyan of The Washington Post reports.
Galiev has not played since Mar. 1 against the Penguins, but with T.J. Oshie (illness) not on the trip for Friday's game in New Jersey, his return to the lineup seems likely. The 24-year-old winger is slated to play on the fourth line with Mike Richards and Daniel Winnik.

Capitals' Stanislav Galiev: Plays on top line Tuesday
Galiev will skate at left wing alongside Nicklas Backstrom and T.J. Oshie for Tuesday's game against the Panthers, Chuck Gormley of CSN Washington reports.
Galiev is filling in for Alex Ovechkin (lower body), who was suspended by the NHL for skipping the All-Star game festivities over the weekend. Ovechkin's injury is not believed to be serious, so this prominent assignment for Galiev is likely limited to Tuesday's game only. However, the increase in ice time he will get -- not to mention the quality of his linemates -- gives Galiev some sleeper potential in daily fantasy leagues, so keep him in mind when you fill out your lineup.

Capitals' Stanislav Galiev: Draws into lineup Tuesday
Galiev will be in the lineup Tuesday against the Bruins, Isabelle Khurshudyan of The Washington Post reports.
Galiev will take Michael Latta's place on the fourth line and is working with the second power-play unit as well. With just two assists in seven games this season, the third-round pick from the 2010 Draft is a reach outside of deeper leagues even with the special teams assignment.

Capitals' Stanislav Galiev: Will play Saturday
Galiev will play on the third line in Saturday's game against Colorado, Chuck Gormley of CSN Washingtonreports.
Galiev will replace the struggling Andre Burakovsky in the lineup. Last playing in a 4-1 win over the Blackhawks on Oct. 15, the 23-year-old Russian has one assist in two games this season and three goals in five games with AHL Hershey. Unless he can stick in the lineup past Saturday, his fantasy value remains quite low.

Capitals' Stanislav Galiev: Recalled to NHL
Galiev was recalled from AHL Hershey on Monday, Isabelle Khurshudyan of the Washington Post reports.
Galiev was sent down to the AHL for a two-week conditioning stint, but was apparently ready to rejoin the parent club after just a week and a half. The winger has suited up in just two games this year, averaging 9:39 worth of ice time in those contests.

Capitals' Stanislav Galiev: Sent to AHL for conditioning
Galiev has been sent to AHL Hershey on a conditioning assignment, Isabelle Khurshudyan of the Washington Post reports.
Galiev has not played since Oct. 15th when he notched an assist for his second career point. In two games this campaign for which the 23-year-old has played, he averaged 9:39 TOI with just over a minute taking place on the power play. While Galiev has plenty of upside handling the puck, the Russian will need to start logging meaningful minutes before he will warrant attention in the fantasy world.

Capitals' Stanislav Galiev: Galiev could make season debut Tuesday
Galiev was a healthy scratch in the season opener Saturday, but he could make his season debut Tuesday night if Alex Ovechkin, a game-time decision for personal reasons, is unable to play against the Sharks, CSN Mid-Atlantic's J.J. Regan reports.
The Capitals are literally hurting at the forward position, as Nicklas Backstrom (hip) and Chris Brown (hand) are on the mend. Galiev is a shifty winger who could be asked to hold down the fort if Ovi doesn't end up playing. According to the report, he worked on the top line and on the power play in Tuesday's morning skate, but will not be inserted on that scoring line if called upon to play. "We'll move lines around," Capitals head coach Barry Trotz said.

Scores goal Wednesday
Galiev scored a goal in Wednesday's 4-3 shootout loss to Carolina.After being challenged by head coach Barry Trotz, Galiev has responded well in preseason action with a goal and an assist in his last two games. Although he is competing for a spot on the opening night roster, the 23-year-old is likely to spend most of the season honing his skills with AHL Hershey. Galiev may emerge as a top-six forward down the line, but with T.J. Oshie, Justin Williams, and Tom Wilson firmly entrenched ahead of him on the depth chart, such expectations should be restrained for 2015-16.... See More ... See Less -
Records Assist Monday
Galiev recorded an assist and three shots on goal during Washington's 3-1 win over the Islanders on Monday.His first point of the preseason, the talented Russian is a dark horse candidate to make the opening night roster as a fourth-line player, particularly with Michael Latta (lower body) and Chris Brown (hand) both battling injuries. However, Galiev is still likely to spend most of the season with AHL Hershey unless he can claim a more meaningful offensive role, and is likely still another season or two away from being a consistently relevant fantasy performer....
