Capitals' Dmitry Orlov: Stays hot with helper Thursday

Orlov tallied an assist, a plus-1 rating and two shots during Thursday's 5-2 win over the Wild.

Orlov assisted on the first of Tom Wilson's two goals and now has two goals and five points over his last seven games. A brutal start to the season has dampened the 26-year-old rearguard's overall output this year, but he's got 17 points in his last 35 games and is producing closer to his potential. Logging heavy minutes on a talented offensive team, you should keep him in your lineup regularly.
