Capitals' Dylan Strome: First power-play goal of season
Rotowire
Strome scored a goal in a 7-3 loss to the Rangers on Tuesday.
Strome's power-play snipe put the Caps up 2-1 at 8:40 of the second period. It looked like Igor Shesterkin had robbed the pivot with a sharp glove save at the right post, but video review determined the puck had crossed the goal line. It was Strome's first PPG of the season; he had nine last year. Strome is on a modest three-game, four-point scoring streak (one goal, three assists, six shots). Overall, he has 27 points, including 20 assists, in 35 games this season.

Capitals' Dylan Strome: Reaches 20-assist mark
Rotowire
Strome collected two even-strength helpers, two shots, two PIM and a plus-1 rating in Sunday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Red Wings.
Strome assisted on both of Ethen Frank's goals in the second half of this home-and-home set. Strome now has points in back-to-back outings after a five-game slump, his longest of the campaign. The left-shot center will always be a top-six fixture while seeing power-play work, so it wouldn't be surprising to see his offensive output be more consistent going forward. However, he's on pace for around 15 goals, which would be well shy of the 29 he potted over 82 regular-season games in 2024-25.

Capitals' Dylan Strome: Ends goal drought in blowout
Rotowire
Strome scored a goal and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 7-1 win over the Sharks.
Strome had gone 11 games without a goal prior to Wednesday. He had six assists and 10 shots on net, which isn't exactly the level of production he's known for. The 28-year-old center is now at six goals, 22 points, 42 shots on net and a plus-15 rating across 26 outings this season. Strome's top-line role should allow him to stay productive, but he may not match last year's career high of 82 points in 82 regular-season contests.

Rotowire

The 28-year-old Strome has four points over three games since returning from a lower-body injury that cost him two contests. For the season, Strome is at four goals, 14 points, 28 shots on net and a plus-10 rating across 12 outings.

Capitals' Dylan Strome: Scores in return
Rotowire
Strome netted a goal and put six shots on target in Saturday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Sabres.
After missing two games with a lower-body injury, Strome got back on the scoresheet just outside of the first minute of Saturday's contest. With the twine finder, Strome has three goals, 11 points and 22 shots on net in 10 appearances this season. The 28-year-old center was off to a hot start with 10 points across a five-game stretch to begin the season, so his tally Saturday is an encouraging sign that he'll continue to be a focal point of the Capitals' offense this year. It'll be a tough task to repeat his point-per-game scoring output through 82 regular-season games last year, but Strome should finish above the 70-point mark even if he slows down a bit offensively.

Capitals' Dylan Strome: Won't play Tuesday
Rotowire
Strome (lower body) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against Dallas but is considered day-to-day for now, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports.
Strome suffered a lower-body injury during Saturday's game against Ottawa, and he'll be forced to miss at least one matchup.

He also set a career high in the 2024-25 regular season with 82 points, so he's a big part of the Capitals' offense. If Strome isn't available Tuesday in Dallas, then Connor McMichael will probably shift into the top six, and Sonny Milano will likely draw back into the lineup.

Capitals' Dylan Strome: Picks up two assists
Rotowire

Strome has been on a monster hot streak over the past three games, picking up multiple points in each contest for a total of eight (two goals, six assists). That accounts for all of the 28-year-old's point production this season after he started the season on a three-game point drought.

The points were his first of the season. There was plenty of griping online about Strome being a disappointment this season. Too funny. He set career records for goals (29), assists (53), PPG (nine), PPP (34) and points (82). Even with a slight reversion, Strome will still be a strong fantasy play in 2025-26.
