Capitals' Hendrix Lapierre: Supplies helper Saturday
Hendrix Lapierre managed an assist in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Devils.Lapierre assisted on a Matt Roy goal in the first period. The Washington Capitals have played 11 times in November, and Lapierre has been a scratch four times, so it doesn't look like he has the full trust of head coach Spencer Carbery. He was in the lineup over winger Jakub Vrana in Saturday's game -- part of the issue with Lapierre's play in 2024-25 has been his 35.8 percent win rate at the faceoff dot, but he won't be needed as a center following the Capitals' trade for Lars Eller. Lapierre has three assists, 13 shots on net, nine blocked shots and a minus-5 rating over 14 appearances, and his path to more playing time may come as a middle-six winger.

Capitals' Hendrix Lapierre: Gathers assist in loss
Hendrix Lapierre logged an assist in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Penguins.Lapierre has two helpers over four games since he was a scratch for two contests. The 22-year-old is stuck in a third-line role, and that's unlikely to allow him to put up steady offense over long stretches. Those two assists are all he's put up for points so far, and he's added 11 shots on net, nine blocked shots, five hits, four PIM and a minus-4 rating over 11 appearances. Lapierre can be ignored in redraft formats for now, but dynasty managers should hold on with patience.

Capitals' Hendrix Lapierre: Records helper Saturday
Hendrix Lapierre notched an assist and blocked two shots in Saturday's 7-2 win over the Blue Jackets.Lapierre returned from a two-game stint as a healthy scratch, replacing Michael Sgarbossa in the lineup. The helper was Lapierre's first point in eight outings this season. The 22-year-old has added six shots on net, seven blocked shots, four hits, four PIM and a minus-5 rating. He's unlikely to see much more than bottom-six minutes as the Washington Capitals have found success with their top-six combinations early on.

Capitals' Hendrix Lapierre: Losing playing time
Hendrix Lapierre was scratched for the second game in a row when he sat out Thursday's 6-3 win over the Canadiens.Lapierre won a middle-six job out of training camp, but he went minus-5 with no points over his first seven games of the season. He took four PIM in Saturday's 3-0 loss to the Lightning and has since been scratched for two contests in a row, with Michael Sgarbossa taking his place in the lineup. Lapierre should get another look eventually, but he'll need to make some sort of positive impact when he draws back in to avoid being rotated out of the lineup on a regular basis. He had 22 points in 51 regular-season outings in 2023-24, so this slow start is a bit disappointing.

Capitals' Hendrix Lapierre: Returned to minors
Hendrix Lapierre was reassigned to AHL Hershey on Monday.Lapierre scored just once in his last 19 outings while chipping in eight helpers and 20 shots on goal. The 22-year-old center played in 51 regular-season contests for the Washington Capitals this year and should be a full-time NHL option heading into the 2024-25 campaign. With a full 82-game season, Lapierre is certainly capable of pushing for both the 20-goal and 40-point thresholds.

The 22-year-old is an important piece in Washington's long-term plans and his late-season success should be enough for him to earn a full-time NHL role for the 2024-25 season.
