Capitals' Martin Fehervary: Rare multi-point effort Monday
Fehervary picked up two assists in Monday's 7-4 win over the Ducks.
He helped set up tallies by Alex Ovechkin in the second period and John Carlson in the third. It was only Fehervary's second multi-point performance of the season, with the last coming Oct. 17 against the Wild. On the season, the 26-year-old blueliner has three goals and 14 points in 43 contests with 86 blocked shots, 51 hits, 50 shots on net, 19 PIM and a plus-12 rating.

Capitals' John Carlson: Two points in Monday's win
Carlson produced a goal and an assist in Monday's 7-4 win over the Ducks.
The veteran blueliner helped set up what proved to be the game-winner for Alex Ovechkin in the second period, before flipping home an empty-netter from deep in his own end in the third. Carlson snapped a brief five-game point drought with the effort, and on the season, he's collected nine goals and 31 points in 39 contests.

Capitals' Ryan Leonard: Two-point effort against Ducks
Leonard scored a goal and added an assist in Monday's 7-4 win over Anaheim.
Both points came in the second period, as Leonard potted Washington's third goal before having a hand in Justin Sourdif's third of the night. Leonard has gotten onto the scoresheet in four straight games, and over seven contests since returning from a shoulder injury, he's picked up two goals and seven points while skating on the Caps' second line at even strength and first power-play unit.

Capitals' Alex Ovechkin: Lights lamp twice Monday
Ovechkin scored two goals on four shots on net with four hits, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Monday's 7-4 win over the Ducks.
The NHL's all-time leader in goals potted what proved to be the game-winner in the second period before wrapping up the scoring with an empty-netter in the third. It was Ovechkin's first multi-goal performance since Dec. 3, and he lit the lamp only once during the 14 games in between, as the 40-year-old finally begins to show his age. On the season, the future Hall of Famer has 17 goals and 36 points in 43 contests.

Capitals' Connor McMichael: Piles up four helpers Monday
McMichael notched four assists in Monday's 7-4 win over the Ducks.
The 24-year-old had a hand in each of the Capitals' first four goals, including Justin Sourdif's first career hat trick. McMichael hasn't gotten onto the scoresheet in consecutive games since late November, making him a risky DFS play, but his overall numbers -- five goals and 25 points in 43 contests with 82 shots on net and a plus-6 rating -- have some value in deeper season-long formats.

Capitals' Justin Sourdif: Erupts for first career hat trick
Sourdif scored three goals and added two assists in Monday's 7-4 win over the Ducks.
The 23-year-old center's first career hat trick was very nearly of the natural variety, as he potted the Capitals' first two tallies late in the first period and their second goal of the second period, with Ryan Leonard sneaking in a snipe just before Sourdif's third. Sourdif has three multi-point performances in the last four games, erupting for five goals and nine points in that span with 10 shots on net and a plus-9 rating. He's still seeing little time on the power play, but his recent offensive surge could earn him a spot on the top unit, especially if Tom Wilson (lower body) misses any further time.

Capitals' Charlie Lindgren: Holds on for win Monday
Lindgren made 41 saves in Monday's 7-4 win over the Ducks.
Anaheim outshot the home side 45-29 on the night, but Lindgren made sure the Ducks never found an equalizer after Washington emerged from the first period with a 2-1 lead. The veteran netminder has just one regulation loss in his last nine outings, going 6-1-1 with a 2.87 GAA and an .897 save percentage dating back to Nov. 17.

Capitals' Aliaksei Protas: Not playing Monday
Protas (lower body) isn't in the lineup for Monday's home matchup versus Anaheim, per Tom Gulitti of NHL.com.
Protas will miss his second straight contest Monday after being deemed a game-time call earlier in the day. Tom Wilson (lower body) also isn't available against the Ducks, so the Capitals are forced to roll with 11 forwards and seven defensemen. Protas' next chance to suit up will be at home Wednesday versus Dallas.

Capitals' Tom Wilson: Unavailable Monday
Wilson (lower body) won't play against Anaheim on Monday, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports.
Wilson is day-to-day and will miss at least one game after being injured in Saturday's 3-2 shootout loss to Chicago. He has accumulated 22 goals, 42 points, 97 shots on net, 110 hits and 59 PIM across 41 appearances this season.

Capitals' Aliaksei Protas: Game-time call
Protas (lower body) will be a game-time decision for Monday's matchup with the Ducks, Tarik El-Bashir of Monumental Sports Network reports.
Protas was absolutely lighting it up prior to getting hurt, racking up four goals and five helpers in his last five outings. With Tom Wilson (lower body) ruled out, the Capitals would certainly benefit from getting the 24-year-old Protas back in the lineup. If he can't go, the Caps will need to either bring up a forward from the minors or roll with seven blueliners against Anaheim.

Capitals' Charlie Lindgren: Facing Ducks
Lindgren will patrol the home crease against Anaheim on Monday, per Sammi Silber of The Hockey News.
Lindgren is coming off a 22-save effort in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Rangers. He has a 6-4-2 record this season with one shutout, a 3.07 GAA and an .887 save percentage across 13 appearances. Anaheim ranks seventh in the league with 3.29 goals per game, but the team has scored two goals or fewer three times during its current five-game (0-4-1) losing skid.

Capitals' Spencer Smallman: Distributes three helpers in win
Smallman notched three assists in AHL Hershey's 5-2 win over Rockford on Sunday.
Smallman missed about a month of action for the Bears, but he's earned a goal and five helpers over seven contests since his return. For the season, the forward has 12 points, 26 shots on net and a plus-3 rating over 19 appearances. Smallman got a one-week call-up with the Capitals earlier in the season, but it's unclear if the 29-year-old will see any NHL action should he be promoted again.

Capitals' Graeme Clarke: Erupts for four points in AHL win
Clarke scored three goals and added an assist in AHL Hershey's 5-2 win over Rockford on Sunday.
Clarke had been limited to one goal over his previous nine outings before Sunday's rare burst of offense. The 24-year-old winger is up to nine goals, 14 points, 75 shots on net and a minus-3 rating over 27 appearances. While the Capitals are dealing with some injuries at the NHL level, Clarke hasn't been consistent enough to be a top option for a call-up.

Capitals' Trevor van Riemsdyk: Records assist Saturday
Van Riemsdyk notched an assist in Saturday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Blackhawks.
Van Riemsdyk ended a nine-game point drought with the helper. He was also scratched three times in that span. The 34-year-old still gets a majority of the playing time in a third-pairing role, but he'll occasionally sit out to allow Declan Chisholm or Dylan McIlrath a chance to play. Van Riemsdyk is at six points, 18 shots on net, 43 blocked shots, 12 PIM and a minus-3 rating over 32 appearances.

Capitals' Ryan Leonard: Forces overtime Saturday
Leonard scored a goal on three shots and added two hits in Saturday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Blackhawks.
Leonard has earned a goal and four assists over six games since he returned from a shoulder injury. The 20-year-old could get a boost in usage if Tom Wilson (lower body) or Aliaksei Protas (lower body) miss any additional time. Leonard is up to eight goals, 23 points, 72 shots on net, 48 hits, 20 PIM and a plus-8 rating through 35 appearances, mainly in a third-line role. He's fourth among rookies in points, trailing Ivan Demidov (35), Beckett Sennecke (31) and Matthew Schaefer (28).

Capitals' Dylan Strome: Scores goal vs. Chicago
Strome scored a goal in Saturday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Blackhawks.
Strome has scored goals in back-to-back games and remains on a tear. He's cracked the scoresheet in seven of his last eight appearances while posting 10 points (four goals, six assists) in that stretch.

Capitals' Logan Thompson: Tagged with shootout loss
Thompson stopped 31 of 33 shots in Saturday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Blackhawks.
Thompson was strong between the pipes throughout the game, but he couldn't extend that success to the shootout, where he was beaten on three of six shots. He's on a three-game losing streak, going 0-2-1 with a 3.31 GAA and an .892 save percentage in that span. Thompson has posted a save percentage of .900 or higher in four of his last seven appearances, however, so at least he's putting up decent individual numbers even when the team is struggling.
