McQueen signed an amateur tryout agreement with AHL San Diego on Wednesday.

McQueen hasn't signed an entry-level contract yet with Anaheim, but inking an ATO without locking into an NHL contract will enable him to participate in the Calder Cup Playoffs. The 19-year-old had 11 goals, 27 points and 45 PIM in 36 outings with Providence College as a freshman in 2025-26. Anaheim selected him with the No. 10 overall pick in the 2025 NHL Draft.

Protas (upper body) won't travel with the Capitals to New Jersey for Thursday's game, per Tom Gulitti of NHL.com.

The Capitals will be back at home for Saturday's game against Buffalo, so Protas might still be an option for that match. However, the 25-year-old also missed Wednesday's optional skate, so it's possible that he's not especially close to returning. Protas has 23 goals and 47 points in 70 outings this campaign. Thursday's tilt will be his second straight game on the shelf.

Aston-Reese was elevated from AHL Cleveland on Wednesday.

Aston-Reese has appeared in just 26 NHL games this season, recording one goal, four assists and 17 shots while averaging 9:37 of ice time. Even with his promotion to the NHL roster, Aston-Reese is far from a lock to secure a spot in the lineup against the Hurricanes on Thursday and could find himself serving as a healthy scratch.

Amadio tallied a goal, distributed an assist and placed two shots on net in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Panthers.

Amadio posted his third multi-point game of March with an assist on Jordan Spence's goal before finding the back of the net himself for the lone goal of the third period. With the two-point outing Tuesday, Amadio is up to 13 goals, 19 assists, 89 shots on net, 95 hits and 45 blocked shots across 74 games this season. Over his last 15 games, the 29-year-old forward has been a strong source of category coverage with 10 points, 18 shots on net, 13 hits and 13 blocked shots. He is a solid waiver-wire pickup in deep fantasy leagues for the time being.

McMichael picked up two assists in Tuesday's 6-4 win over the Flyers.

The 25-year-old McMichal had a hand in a pair of Alex Ovechkin tallies. McMichael has gone 10 straight games without scoring a goal of his own, but over the last seven games, he's notched six assists. He has four helpers during a three-game point streak and is one point away from 40 on the season.

Bennett registered two assists, placed three shots on net and had two PIM in Tuesday's 6-3 win over Ottawa.

Bennett posted his second multi-assist game in his last five appearances in Tuesday's clash, where he recorded the primary helper on each of the Panthers' final two goals. With the pair of apples, he is up to 31 assists, 56 points, 183 shots on net, 112 hits and 29 blocked shots through 71 games this season. Since the Olympic break, the 29-year-old center has eight assists and 14 points across his last 14 appearances. He has a strong chance to reach the 60-point mark for the first time in his 11-year NHL career.

Gregor scored a goal, served five PIM and dished out two hits in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Senators.

Gregor found the back of the net just eight seconds into regulation Tuesday. The 27-year-old forward has three points over his last five games and is up to six points across 29 games this season. Gregor has made the most of his opportunity back at the NHL level after being called up from AHL Charlotte on March 24. He'll look to keep making an impact down the stretch and try to secure his fourth NHL season with a double-digit point total.

Dvorak scored a goal and added an assist in Tuesday's 6-4 loss to the Capitals.

It was the third multi-point performance in the last six games for Dvorak, a stretch in which he's delivered three goals and seven points. The 30-year-old center is putting the finishing touches on a career-best campaign. He's two goals away from tying his career high of 18, and he's four points shy of his first 50-point season.

Zibanejad scored his 33rd goal of the season in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Devils.

The veteran center wrapped up the scoring on the night by tapping home a slick feed from Gabe Perreault early in the third period. Zibanejad put together a productive March, piling up nine goals and 17 points in the last 15 games, and Tuesday's tally was his 70th point of the season -- the sixth time in his career he's reached that mark.

Verhaeghe scored two goals, including one on a power play, recorded an assist and fired six shots on net in Tuesday's 6-3 win over Ottawa.

Verhaeghe tallied his first goal of the game on a power-play midway through the first period before striking again just over five minutes later at even strength. He later picked up a secondary helper on Matthew Tkachuk's goal in the second period to put the Panthers up 6-1. The trio of points brought Verhaeghe up to 23 goals, 30 assists, 175 shots on net, 63 hits and 21 blocked shots through 72 games this season. The 30-year-old winger has been relatively consistent in March with six goals and 10 points over his last 11 games. His three-point outing Tuesday helped him match his total of 53 points across 81 regular-season games a year ago. Verhaeghe still has time to secure 60 or more points in a season for the third time in his career, making him a solid fantasy option for the remainder of the season.
