• Capitals' Ivan Miroshnichenko: Snags helper Friday

  22D ago • By RotoWire

  Miroshnichenko notched an assist in Friday's 5-4 overtime win over the Islanders. Miroshnichenko has a goal and an assist over four contests so far this season. He's spent much of his time on the fourth line, though he's also occasionally seen power-play usage. The 20-year-old winger has a chance to audition for a longer stay in the NHL while Alex Ovechkin (fibula) is out, but it'll likely be other forwards who get the opportunity to fill in for top-six minutes.

• Capitals' Ivan Miroshnichenko: Sent to AHL

  10/07/2024 • By RotoWire

  Miroshnichenko was loaned to AHL Hershey on Monday. Miroshnichenko appeared in 21 regular-season games for Washington last year and logged two goals and six points while averaging 12:08 of ice time. He'll be left off the Capitals' Opening Night roster this year but could still see a role in the NHL at some point this year. However, even if he rejoins the Capitals, he'll likely have to compete for playing time, making him a risky fantasy option in redraft formats.

• Capitals' Ivan Miroshnichenko: Nets first NHL goal

  03/08/2024 • By RotoWire

  Miroshnichenko scored a goal on three shots in Thursday's 6-0 win over the Penguins. Miroshnichenko extended Washington's lead to 5-0 late in the second period, burying a loose puck in front of the net for his first NHL goal in his fifth game. Miroshnichenko still has room to grow at the NHL level -- the 2020 first-round pick offers high-end offensive potential. He should get an extended opportunity in Washington following Anthony Mantha's trade to the Golden Knights.

  Miroshnichenko was reassigned to AHL Hershey following Saturday's 2-1 shootout loss to the Lightning.

If the Capitals get injured forwards back following the holiday break, the 19-year-old winger may remain in the AHL.
