• Capitals' Rasmus Sandin: Provides assist in win

  10H ago • By RotoWire

  Sandin notched an assist, four blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 7-2 win over the Blue Jackets. Jakob Chychrun (upper body) landed on injured reserve Saturday, so Sandin is in line for a larger role. He saw 20:37 of ice time in the blowout win -- that's his second-highest total in 10 contests this season. Sandin has five helpers, 11 shots on net, 26 blocked shots, 12 hits and a plus-7 rating so far, and if he can stay on the second power-play unit, he should have an easier path to offense.

• Capitals' Rasmus Sandin: Puts up two helpers

  5D ago • By RotoWire

  Sandin notched two assists, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Rangers. Sandin had multiple helpers for the second time in three games. He played a season-high 24:45 after Jakob Chychrun (upper body) left the contest in the first period. If Chychrun misses time, Sandin is the natural option to replace him on the power play, and he'd likely move up to a top-four role at even strength as well. Through eight outings, Sandin has four helpers, nine shots on net, 16 blocked shots, nine hits and a plus-5 rating from a third-pairing role.

• Capitals' Rasmus Sandin: Registers two assists

  10D ago • By RotoWire

  Sandin recorded two assists, two shots on goal, five blocked shots and a plus-4 rating in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Flyers. Sandin hadn't gotten on the scoresheet prior to Wednesday, a slump that has seen him slip onto the third pairing. The 24-year-old blueliner broke through, helping out on goals by Taylor Raddysh and Nic Dowd in this contest. Through six games, Sandin has two helpers, five shots on net, six hits, 13 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating. His offense is likely to be limited when he's not seeing power-play time -- John Carlson and Jakob Chychrun have had most of the minutes with the man advantage so far.

• Capitals' Rasmus Sandin: Set to join team

  09/24/2024 • By RotoWire

  Sandin (not injured related) is on his way to join his Washington teammates at training camp, according to Tom Gulitti of NHL.com on Tuesday. Sandin should be back on the ice with his teammates soon after missing the start of camp due to a work visa issue. The 24-year-old blueliner produced three goals, 23 points, 79 shots on net, 106 blocked shots and 75 hits across 68 regular-season contests in 2023-24. Sandin will likely occupy a top-four spot and see time on the second power-play unit during the upcoming campaign.

• Capitals' Rasmus Sandin: Absent from training camp

  09/20/2024 • By RotoWire

  Sandin is dealing with visa issues and will miss his second day of training camp, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports Friday. Sandin was limited to just 23 points last season after having notched 35 during the previous campaign split between Toronto and Washington. The offseason addition of Jakob Chychrun will create a competition for minutes with the No. 2 power-play unit, which could see Sandin's numbers further dip if he finds himself on the outside looking in. Still, a 20-point campaign is likely the floor for Sandin, giving him decent mid-range fantasy value.
