Capitals' Rasmus Sandin: Gets goal in win
Rasmus 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
Rasmus 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 Washington Capitals are fully healthy is not very encouraging for fantasy purposes.

Capitals' Rasmus Sandin: Puts away goal in loss
Rasmus 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 Washington 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.

Capitals' Rasmus Sandin: Provides assist in win
Rasmus 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.

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
Rasmus 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.

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
Rasmus 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.

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.
