Leonard scored a power-play goal on two shots, added four hits and went minus-2 in Wednesday's 4-1 loss to the Flyers.
Leonard has three goals and an assist during his four-game point streak to start March.

The rookie has 13 goals, 21 assists, 11 power-play points, 116 shots on net, 88 hits and a minus-1 rating through 59 appearances.

Capitals' Logan Thompson: Loses to Flyers
Rotowire
Thompson stopped 18 of 21 shots in Wednesday's 4-1 loss to the Flyers. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.
Thompson has lost three of his last four outings, but he's gone seven games without allowing more than three goals. The 29-year-old's rough patch isn't helping the Capitals' fading playoff hopes. He's down to 22-19-4 with a 2.44 GAA and a .911 save percentage across 45 contests, one shy of his career high from 2023-24. The workload may be catching up to Thompson, but he's still providing steady ratios even if the wins don't follow. The Capitals will likely turn to Charlie Lindgren for Thursday's tough matchup in Buffalo.
Kampf (not injury related) isn't expected to play Wednesday versus Philadelphia, per Adam Kimelman of NHL.com.
Kampf has been going through the process to get a work visa after Washington acquired him from Vancouver on Friday. The 31-year-old has two goals and six points in 38 outings in 2025-26. He'll likely serve in a bottom-six capacity once he's available to play for Washington.
Thompson is expected to start on the road against Philadelphia on Wednesday, per Adam Kimelman of NHL.com.
Thompson has a 22-18-4 record, 2.42 GAA and .912 save percentage in 44 outings in 2025-26. He stopped 23 of 26 shots in a 7-3 victory over Calgary in his last start Monday. Thompson turned aside 23 of 24 shots en route to a 3-1 victory over the Flyers on Feb. 25, so he'll be looking for a similar result Wednesday.
Capitals' Brandon Duhaime: Ends drought with assist
Rotowire
Duhaime logged an assist, two hits, three blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Monday's 7-3 win over the Flames.
Duhaime snapped a 36-game point drought with the helper. The 28-year-old had a career-best 21 points in 82 regular-season outings in 2024-25, but he's regressed significantly this year with just seven points in 65 appearances. He's added 48 shots on net, 123 hits, 43 blocked shots and 62 PIM while filling a fourth-line role.

Capitals' Ryan Leonard: Pads lead with late goal
Rotowire
Leonard deposited a goal, fired three shots on net and dished out four hits in Monday's 7-3 win over the Flames.
Leonard's goal arrived with 16 seconds remaining in the contest to place the Capitals up by four scores.

The 21-year-old winger is off to a hot start in March, where he has a point in each of the three games he's played. In that stretch, he has posted two goals, six shots on net and eight hits, showcasing his ability to cover stat categories and making him a valuable player to own in category-based fantasy leagues for years to come.

Capitals' Ethen Frank: Deposits empty netter
Rotowire
Frank tallied a goal and recorded three shots on net in Monday's 7-3 win over Calgary.
Frank helped seal the deal for Washington in Monday's contest with his empty-net goal with less than three minutes remaining. Overall, the 28-year-old winger now has 12 goals, 24 points, 85 shots on net, 47 hits and 41 blocked shots across 54 games this season. The goal was his first since signing a two-year, $4 million contract extension with the Capitals on Wednesday. The late-bloomer Frank has proved he belongs at the NHL level and should continue to play a solid two-way role on Washington's fourth line moving forward.

Capitals' Justin Sourdif: Adds three points in win
Rotowire
Sourdif scored a goal, supplied two assists and fired four shots on net in Monday's 7-3 win over the Flames.
Sourdif's three-point outing led the Capitals offensively Monday. With the trio of points, he is up to 13 goals, 16 assists, 89 shots on net, 75 hits and 30 blocked shots over 61 games this season. The 23-year-old center continues to impress as the campaign has progressed, scoring 20 of his 29 points since Dec. 31. This fact, combined with his recent line assignment centering the team's top line, gives him the tools necessary to be a solid fantasy player for the remainder of 2025-26.
McMichael scored two goals, including one on the power play, fired three shots on net and recorded two blocked shots in Monday's 7-3 win over Calgary.
After his ninth goal of the season, where he put the puck away off a slick feed from Justin Sourdif, McMichael went on to score an unassisted power-play goal for his 10th marker. Alongside his 10 twine finders, McMichael has 33 points, 115 shots on net, 33 hits and 34 blocked shots across 61 games this season. He should continue to draw line assignments in the team's middle six moving forward, which places him in a solid spot to produce in deep fantasy leagues.

Capitals' Tom Wilson: Eclipses 50 points in win
Rotowire
Wilson tallied a goal, fired two shots on net and posted two blocked shots in Monday's 7-3 win over the Flames.
Wilson's goal doubled the Capitals' lead to 2-0 midway through the opening period. His twine finder was his 24th goal of the campaign and 50th overall point, which makes 2025-26 the third time he's hit the 50-point milestone in his 13-year career. While Monday's goal was his first point since the Olympics, he has remained a category-coverage workhorse and currently has 116 shots on goal, 140 hits and 40 blocked shots across 55 appearances this season. If he can heat up down the stretch, Wilson has a chance to post his second consecutive 60-point campaign.

Capitals' Hendrix Lapierre: One of each Monday
Rotowire
Lapierre scored a goal and recorded an assist in Monday's 7-3 win over Calgary.
Lapierre put the Capitals on the scoreboard Monday with a goal less than three minutes into regulation before he later picked up a secondary assist in the third. With the pair of points, he is up to three goals, nine assists, 48 shots on net and 37 hits across 60 games this season. While he doesn't have the high-end scoring needed for most fantasy formats, his recent run of three points over his last four games is an encouraging sign for the 24-year-old, fourth-line center moving forward.

Capitals' Logan Thompson: Yields three goals in win
Rotowire
Thompson turned away 23 of 26 shots on goal in Monday's 7-3 win over the Flames.
Thompson kept the Flames off the scoreboard in each of the first and third periods but ran into trouble in the second, where he allowed three goals, including a pair of shorthanded tallies. He earned the win all the same, improving to 22-18-4 on the season with a 2.42 GAA and a .912 save percentage across 44 appearances. With the Capitals six points out of a playoff spot in the Metropolitan Division, Thompson will likely be deployed often down the stretch, upholding his already strong fantasy value moving forward. If he continues to find the win column, he should be a strong candidate to be nominated for the Vezina Trophy at the end of the season.
Kampf (not injury related) will not play in Monday's home game against the Kings, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports.
After being traded to the Capitals from the Canucks on Friday, he is actively dealing with the immigration process from Canada and will miss a second contest. He'll likely need to join the team for practice before Wednesday's road game in Philadelphia if he's to make his team debut without missing any more time.

Rotowire

Capitals' Bogdan Trineyev: Three-point effort for Hershey
Rotowire
Trineyev scored a goal and added two assists in AHL Hershey's 5-4 loss to Providence on Sunday.
Trineyev had hit a rough patch recently, picking up just two assists over his previous 10 games before Sunday's breakout. The 24-year-old forward is now at 11 goals, 28 points and 96 shots on net over 47 appearances. Trineyev's production is a career high in his third AHL campaign, but he hasn't done enough to be a consistent call-up option to the NHL.

Capitals' Ilya Protas: Gains three points Sunday
Rotowire
Protas scored twice and added an assist in AHL Hershey's 5-4 loss to Providence on Sunday.
Protas has been pretty steady all season, but he hasn't had a lot of explosive games on offense. This was his third three-point effort in 57 contests. Overall, Protas is at 24 goals, 24 assists and a plus-7 rating. The 19-year-old forward has done well as an AHL rookie, but he may need another year before he's an NHL option.
