Chychrun scored a power-play goal and added two assists, one with the man advantage, in Tuesday's 6-4 win over the Flyers.

It's the second multi-point performance in three games for Chychrun. He managed just three points in the first 10 games of March. The 28-year-old blueliner has already put together a career-best campaign with 24 goals and 56 points in 73 contests, but the Caps could use a final push from Chychrun if they're going to make the playoffs.

Wilson scored two goals in Tuesday's 6-4 win over the Flyers.

The rugged winger bookended the scoring on the night, beating Dan Vladar from the high slot late in the first period, before scoring an empty-netter from deep in his own zone with just over a minute left in the third. Wilson had just two goals and three points in 14 games going into Tuesday night's action, but he has been productive this season. He has produced 27 goals, 54 points, 169 hits, 140 shots on net, 117 PIM, 49 blocked shots and a plus-11 rating through 65 contests.

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.

Dubois pocketed four assists, two on the power play, in Tuesday's 6-4 win over the Flyers.

It was Dubois' first multi-point performance in March, and it doubled his point total for the month. The 27-year-old center has struggled to make a consistent impact since returning from abdominal surgery in early February. Over 16 contests since the Olympic break, he has produced three goals and 11 points.

Ovechkin scored two goals, one the game-winner, in Tuesday's 6-4 victory over the Flyers.

The future Hall of Famer's first tally in the first period gave him 30 goals on the season. The 40-year-old Ovechkin has an NHL-high 20 30-goal campaigns. He has heated up during Washington's push for a playoff spot while lighting the lamp seven times in the last seven games. He's one point shy of hitting 60 for the 19th time in his career.

Thompson made 20 saves in Tuesday's 6-4 win over the Flyers.

The Capitals never trailed in the game, but Thompson had to weather multiple rallies by the visitors to secure the victory. The 29-year-old netminder has won three straight starts and has only one regulation loss in his last eight, a stretch in which he's gone 5-1-2 with a 2.58 GAA and .914 save percentage.

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.

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

The veteran blueliner got the Flyers on the board 39 seconds into the second period on a one-timer before helping to set up a Christian Dvorak tally early in the third. Sanheim broke out of a four-game point drought with the performance. However, he has three goals and four assists in his last 11 outings.

Konecky collected two assists in Tuesday's 6-4 loss to the Capitals.

The 29-year-old winger had a hand in tallies by Travis Sanheim in the second period and Christian Dvorak in the third. Konecny has found a groove since missing a few games in early March due to an upper-body injury. Over his last seven contests, he has produced two goals and seven points.

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.
