Frank was scratched for the 10th time in 12 games in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Predators.
Frank made a pair of appearances when the Capitals were dealing with injuries earlier in October, but he has no clear path to playing time. He's also competing with Ivan Miroshnichenko for a chance to play if an opening pops up. Frank had 24 points in 62 regular-season outings in 2025-26, but the Capitals' offseason additions have greatly reduced his opportunities in 2026-27.

Capitals' Jack St. Ivany: Adds two more assists
Rotowire
St. Ivany produced two assists and two hits in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Predators.
St. Ivany is looking like a good waiver claim for the Capitals. He's earned four assists over two outings with his new team after being held off the scoresheet in four games with the Jets to begin the year. The defenseman has a total of two shots on net, eight hits, seven blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over six outings, so he could offer a little physicality in a third-pairing role. He'll get at least a month to prove himself while Vincent Desharnais (appendectomy) is sidelined.

Capitals' Aliaksei Protas: Provides two helpers
Rotowire
Protas notched a pair of assists and went plus-2 in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Predators.
Protas is starting to warm up -- he's earned three points over his last two games. The 25-year-old forward also has seven shots on net in that span. Protas is filling a middle-six role as a primarily defensive forward. He once again lacks a power-play spot, which could make his offense more streaky. Over 12 outings, he has a goal, four assists, 16 shots on net, seven hits, eight blocked shots and a plus-2 rating.

Capitals' Boone Jenner: Buries goal in win
Rotowire
Jenner scored a goal and added a pair of hits in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Predators.
Jenner had gone a season-high three games without a point prior to Thursday. The veteran forward has been a decent source of scoring depth for the Capitals in a fourth-line role, and he's also firmed up his place in the lineup with his usual defensive work. He has five goals, one assist, 26 shots on net, 17 hits, 12 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating over 12 appearances.

Capitals' Alex Tuch: Reaches 10-goal mark
Rotowire
Tuch scored a goal, added two hits and blocked two shots in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Predators.
Tuch has reached the 10-goal mark in just 12 games to begin the season. He's surged lately with five tallies over his last three contests, including the game-winner in Thursday's contest. The veteran winger has added two assists, 33 shots on net, 15 hits, 10 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating. Tuch's seeing top-six usage and should continue to provide all-around production in fantasy, though he is still searching for his first power-play point.

Capitals' Cole Hutson: Flexes shot in win
Rotowire
Hutson scored twice and went plus-2 in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Predators.
Hutson showed the value in his shot in this contest. He picked a corner on his first goal and then tallied again in the second period to put the Capitals ahead 3-2. This was his first career multi-goal game and the first multi-point effort of his campaign. Hutson has four goals, three helpers, 25 shots on net, 12 hits, eight blocked shots, eight PIM and a plus-4 rating across 12 appearances this season.

Capitals' Charlie Lindgren: Picks up win over Predators
Rotowire
Lindgren stopped 24 of 27 shots in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Predators.
Lindgren earned his third straight win with this performance. He's given up at least three goals in each of his victories this season, but this was a good result on the second half of a back-to-back. He also has a hard-luck loss on his ledger. Lindgren should continue to see backup duties behind Logan Thompson, who returned from a brief absence Wednesday versus the Flyers. The Capitals' next game is a big test when they host the Wild on Sunday.
Capitals' Charlie Lindgren: Slated to face Nashville
Rotowire
Lindgren is slated to start on the road against Nashville on Thursday.
Lindgren is 2-1-0 with a 2.98 GAA and an .886 save percentage in three appearances this season. He's coming off a 4-3 overtime win over Buffalo in his last start Saturday in which he stopped 18 of 21 shots. Nashville is 4-3-5 while averaging 2.83 goals per game this campaign.

Capitals' Matt Roy: Snags first helper since return
Rotowire
Roy logged an assist, nine hits, two blocked shots and four PIM in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Flyers.
Roy picked up his first point in five appearances this season. The 31-year-old defenseman missed six games due to a lower-body injury earlier in the campaign. Roy should fill a top-four role while providing decent category coverage for deeper fantasy formats. He has racked up three shots on net, 18 hits, eight blocked shots and four PIM on the year.
Protas scored his first goal of the season on three shots while adding one hit and a plus-2 rating during Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Flyers.
The second-period tally stood up as the game-winner, as Protas deflected home a shot from Matt Roy that was drifting wide of Joseph Woll. Protas has just three points in 11 games as he struggles to get going this season, a disappointing start after he racked up 55 goals and 118 points in 152 regular-season contests over the prior two campaigns.

Capitals' Jack St. Ivany: Two helpers in Caps debut
Rotowire
St. Ivany notched two assists with one shot on net, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Flyers.
Making his Capitals debut after being claimed off waivers from the Jets, St. Ivany made an immediate impact on the third pairing, helping to set up tallies by Alex Tuch in the first period and Jordan Kyrou in the third. St. Ivany hasn't provided much offense during his NHL career, recording zero goals and 11 assists in 58 games spread over four seasons, but he's offered plenty of production in other categories with 122 hits and 70 blocked shots. The 27-year-old will offer some depth on the blue line until Rasmus Sandin (knee) and Vincent Desharnais (abdomen) get healthy.

Capitals' Pierre-Luc Dubois: Two-point night Wednesday
Rotowire
Dubois picked up two assists in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Flyers.
The 28-year-old center collected his first points since coming off IR on Saturday, helping to set up Aliaksei Protas' game-winner in the second period and an Alex Tuch empty-netter in the third. Dubois has been feast or famine when he's been on the ice this season, recording three two-point performances in six games but getting held off the scoresheet completely in the other three. All told, he's delivered one goal, five assists, nine shots on net, eight PIM, seven hits, four blocked shots and a plus-6 rating.

Capitals' Dylan Strome: Three helpers against Philly
Rotowire
Strome pocketed three assists, one on the power play, in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Flyers.
The veteran center picked up a helper in each period as he produced his second straight three-point performance. Strome is quickly putting a disappointing 2025-26 campaign behind him, and through 11 games in the current campaign he's piled up three goals and 12 points, and he hasn't gotten going on the power play yet -- after recording more than 20 PP points in each of the prior four seasons, Strome has just two assists so far with the man advantage.

Capitals' Alex Tuch: Another two-goal effort Wednesday
Rotowire
Tuch scored two goals on a team-high five shots on net while adding one hit and a plus-3 rating in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Flyers.
The 30-year-old winger opened and closed the scoring on the night, banging home a rebound early in the first period before icing things with an empty-netter late in the third. Tuch has delivered back-to-back two-goal performances, and over 11 games to begin his Washington tenure he's racked up nine goals and 11 points with 32 shots on net, 13 hits, eight blocked shots and a plus-7 rating.

Capitals' Jordan Kyrou: Lights lamp twice in Wednesday's win
Rotowire
Kyrou scored two goals, one on the power play, in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Flyers.
The former St. Louis star found the back of the net in the second and third periods, extending his point streak to five games. Kyrou had a sluggish start to his Capitals tenure, but he's found a groove with three goals and eight points during his five-game heater. Wednesday's power-play tally was his first of the season, but his spot on the top unit should ensure plenty more production with the man advantage.

Capitals' Logan Thompson: Nabs win in return to crease
Rotowire
Thompson made 23 saves in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Flyers.
Activated from a brief IR stint earlier in the day after recovering from a lower-body injury, Thompson got a cushy matchup against the NHL's 32nd-ranked offense and didn't disappoint, with the only two pucks to get past him coming on a re-directed point shot and on a Philly power play. Through eight starts this season, Thompson's gone 5-3-0 with a 2.78 GAA and .903 save percentage as the Capitals' No. 1 netminder.
Capitals' Lynden Lakovic: Collects three points in AHL win
Rotowire
Lakovic scored a goal and added two assists in AHL Hershey's 3-2 win over Rochester on Wednesday.
Lakovic is one of the beneficiaries of the rule change that allows 19-year-old first-round picks join the AHL early. The winger had his first AHL multi-point effort of the year Wednesday. He's hardly struggling in the professional ranks, logging three goals, five assists and 24 shots on net over eight games to start the year.
