Capitals' Dylan McIlrath: Back in AHL
McIlrath was reassigned to AHL Hershey on Tuesday, per CapFriendly.
The Capitals' blue line is still banged up, so it's possible this may just be a paper move for McIlrath. The 30-year-old has served as emergency depth on the Capitals' recent road trip, suiting up in two of four games and earning one assist.

Capitals' Dylan McIlrath: Called up by Capitals
McIlrath was recalled from AHL Hershey on Sunday.
McIlrath's return provides the Capitals with some additional depth given injuries to Nick Jensen (upper body) and Martin Fehervary (lower body). The 30-year-old McIlrath has posted an assist and a minus-6 rating in six games with the Capitals this season and remains a non-factor in most fantasy circles.

Capitals' Dylan McIlrath: Returned to minors
McIlrath was sent down to the minors Friday, Roman Stubbs of The Washington Post reports.
McIlrath collected a lone helper -- along with a minus-6 rating -- in six games during his recent stint in the big leagues. Injuries to Nick Jensen (upper body) and Martin Fehervary (lower body) could allow the 30-year-old McIlrath to return to the NHL ranks in the near future, but Vincent Iorio and Gabriel Carlsson appear to be getting a look as Washington tries to salvage its playoff hopes during a California road trip.

Capitals' Dylan McIlrath: Hands out helper
McIlrath posted an assist and two hits in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Ducks.
McIlrath was in the lineup because Rasmus Sandin (not injury related) was not available. McIlrath then had to take on a bit more playing time after the Capitals lost Nick Jensen (upper body) and Martin Fehervary (lower body) during the game. The helper was McIlrath's first point in six outings this season, and he also has a minus-6 rating, seven PIM, 14 hits and seven blocked shots. He could remain in the lineup going forward if the Capitals' defense remains short-staffed.

Capitals' Dylan McIlrath: On waivers Saturday
McIlrath (suspension) was placed on waivers Saturday.
McIlrath faced an uphill battle to make the Capitals roster even before landing a four-game ban for an illegal check to the head of Boston's Steven Fogarty during a Sep. 26 preseason match. The burly defender posted two goals and eight points in 29 games with AHL Grand Rapids during the 2020-21 season and will await his next chance to return to the NHL ranks.

Capitals' Dylan McIlrath: Facing potential suspension
McIlrath will have a hearing Monday with the Department of Player Safety for an illegal check to the head on Bruins' Steven Fogarty.
A suspension won't improve McIlrath's already slim chances of breaking into the Opening Night roster. At this point, fantasy players should probably be expecting the 29-year-old defenseman to spend the bulk of the upcoming campaign in the minors, where he registered eight points in 29 games last year.

McIlrath was suspended two preseason games and two regular-season games for his illegal check to the head of Steven Fogarty in Sunday's game against Boston.
McIlrath will miss the next two preseason contests and will be eligible to return against the Devils on Oct. 4. The 29-year-old blueliner likely wasn't going to make the NHL roster out of training camp, but this certainly won't help his chances. He tallied eight points in 29 games with AHL Grand Rapids last season.
