• Capitals' Rasmus Sandin: Two PP points against Jersey

  22D ago • By RotoWire

  Sandin scored a goal and added an assist, both on the power play, in Saturday's 6-5 win over the Devils. Both points came in the second period as Washington struck three times in total with the man advantage. The power-play points were the first of the season for Sandin, while the multi-point performance was his first since Oct. 29. The 24-year-old has been a consistent contributor for the Caps, though, and he's on pace for a career-best campaign with four goals and 13 points through 24 games while adding 43 blocked shots, 27 shots on net, 24 hits and a sparkling plus-18 rating.

  29D ago • By RotoWire

  Sandin registered an assist in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Devils. Sandin was credited with the primary helper on Matt Roy's first goal of the season at 13:52 of the first period. Sandin has been productive in November, getting on the scoresheet in seven of 11 contests, including a five-game point streak between Nov. 8-17. Health permitting, Sandin is on his way to a career year. He's up to three goals, eight assists and a plus-16 rating over 20 appearances.

• Capitals' Rasmus Sandin: Gets goal in win

  11/16/2024 • By RotoWire

  Sandin scored an empty-net goal on three shots in Friday's 5-2 win over the Avalanche. Sandin was able to close out the scoring with three seconds left in the game. The defenseman is on a roll with three goals and an assist over his last four contests. The 24-year-old is out of the power-play mix with Jakob Chychrun healthy again, but Sandin is still seeing top-four minutes, which allows him to make an impact at even strength. For the season, the Swedish blueliner has nine points, 18 shots on net, 20 hits, 36 blocked shots and a plus-11 rating through 16 appearances.

• Capitals' Rasmus Sandin: Scores again Saturday

  11/10/2024 • By RotoWire

  Sandin scored a goal on two shots and went plus-2 in Saturday's 8-1 win over the Blues. Sandin has scored in back-to-back games while adding a plus-4 rating in that span. As expected, he moved to the third pairing with the return of Jakob Chychrun from an upper-body injury, and it appears Sandin's power-play time has dried up as well. The 24-year-old defenseman has two goals, five assists, 14 shots on net, 18 hits, 34 blocked shots and a plus-9 rating over 14 appearances. He'll have some upside if he can see top-four minutes at even strength, but Sandin's smaller role when the Capitals are fully healthy is not very encouraging for fantasy purposes.

• Capitals' Rasmus Sandin: Puts away goal in loss

  11/09/2024 • By RotoWire

  Sandin scored a goal, blocked three shots and went plus-2 in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Penguins. Sandin's first goal of the season got the Capitals on the board in the first period. He's exceeded 20 minutes of ice time in five of his last six games, but his ice time could be in line to drop once Jakob Chychrun (upper body) returns, which could be as soon as Saturday versus the Blues. Sandin is up to six points, 12 shots on net, 34 blocked shots, 18 hits and a plus-7 rating over 13 contests. He should still be an important part of the Capitals' defense as well as a candidate for power-play minutes even when Chychrun is healthy.
