Raddysh logged an assist in Thursday's 6-3 win over Montreal.
Raddysh was involved in a puck battle with multiple Canadiens and managed to get the puck onto the stick of linemate Brandon Duhaime, whose knuckler eluded Cayden Primeau for Washington's second goal. It was the second consecutive game with an assist for Raddysh, who also has two goals to begin the season.

Capitals' Taylor Raddysh: Snags helper Tuesday
Rotowire
Raddysh recorded an assist and three shots on goal in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Rangers.
Raddysh picked up his first helper of the campaign on a Connor McMichael rally just after a power play expired in the first period. Through eight contests, Raddysh has been a consistent part of the Capitals' bottom six. He's earned three points, 10 shots on net, seven hits and a minus-1 rating. He can add a little physical play, but the 26-year-old is unlikely to score enough to help most fantasy managers.

Capitals' Taylor Raddysh: Tips in goal
Rotowire
Raddysh scored a goal on two shots in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Flyers.
Raddysh tipped in a shot from Dylan McIlrath, scoring the Capitals' first goal of the game at 4:50 of the first period. The 26-year-old Raddysh has filled a bottom-six role to begin his career with the Capitals, and he's seen minimal power-play time. He has two goals, six shots on net, five hits and an even plus-minus rating over six appearances. Without a promotion to at least the middle six, he's unlikely to score enough to help in fantasy.

Capitals' Taylor Raddysh: Lights lamp
Rotowire
Raddysh tallied a goal, two shots and two hits during Thursday's 3-2 win over the Stars.
Raddysh notched his first point with the Capitals after signing a one-year, $1 million deal in July. The 26-year-old winger has found instant chemistry with Nic Dowd and Brandon Duhaime on the fourth line, but he will likely need a more significant offensive role to secure fantasy relevance.

Capitals' Taylor Raddysh: Signs one-year deal
Rotowire
Raddysh signed a one-year, $1 million contract with the Capitals on Monday.
Raddysh became an unrestricted free agent after the Blackhawks declined to present him with a qualifying offer. The 26-year-old had five goals and 14 points across 73 contests with Chicago last season. Raddysh did have 20 goals and 37 points in 2022-23, so perhaps he can rekindle his scoring touch in his new home. At the same time, he'll likely have to battle to earn even a bottom-six spot.

Taylor Raddysh: Not getting qualifying offer
Rotowire
Raddysh will become an unrestricted free agent Monday because he is not expected to receive a qualifying offer from the Blackhawks on Sunday, according to Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times.
Raddysh dropped from 20 goals and 37 points in 78 games during the 2022-23 campaign to five goals and nine assists across 73 appearances this past season. Perhaps a change of scenery will do the 26-year-old forward some good.

Blackhawks' Taylor Raddysh: Collects two helpers in win
Rotowire
Raddysh notched two assists and went plus-2 in Saturday's 5-4 overtime win over the Sharks.
Raddysh helped out on goals by Ryan Donato and Tyler Johnson in the second period. This was Raddysh's second multi-point effort of the season, but he has just four helpers over 21 contests since the All-Star break. The 26-year-old winger is at 14 points, 112 shots on net, 73 hits and a minus-16 rating through 66 outings in a disappointing campaign after he logged 37 points in 78 appearances in 2022-23.

Blackhawks' Taylor Raddysh: Generates assist Tuesday
Rotowire
Raddysh recorded a power-play assist and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 7-2 win over the Ducks.
Raddysh snapped a 14-game point drought when he set up Ryan Donato's first-period tally. The 26-year-old Raddysh had 26 shots on net and 15 hits during that long slump. The winger is at five goals, seven assists, 106 shots on net, 67 hits and a minus-15 rating through 61 contests overall. His lack of offense has led to him playing in a bottom-six role, which doesn't bode well for him turning things around late in the campaign.

Blackhawks' Taylor Raddysh: Dealing with quad issue
Rotowire
Raddysh will not practice Friday due to a quadriceps injury, Tracey Myers of NHL.com reports.
Raddysh logged just 9:44 of ice time against the Penguins on Thursday, his second-lowest ice time in a game this season. Since returning from a groin injury, the 25-year-old winger has struggled offensively with one point in 14 contests while adding 26 shots, 21 hits and two blocks. If Raddysh were to miss any time, Lukas Reichel figures to rejoin the lineup in a bottom-six role.

Blackhawks' Taylor Raddysh: Contributes helper
Rotowire
Raddysh logged an assist in Wednesday's 2-1 loss to the Wild.
Raddysh helped out on Nick Foligno's second-period tally. The assist was Raddysh's first point in 11 games since he returned from a groin injury, though the Blackhawks have scored just 11 goals as a team in that span. That lack of offense puts a severe damper on the 25-year-old's current top-six role and power-play usage. He's at 11 points, 78 shots on net, 45 hits and a minus-11 rating through 46 outings overall.

With Joey Anderson (shoulder) expected to return as well, Reese Johnson and Brett Seney will be scratched for Tuesday's contest.

Blackhawks' Taylor Raddysh: Contributes three assists Saturday
Rotowire
Raddysh registered three assists in a 7-5 loss to St. Louis on Saturday.
One of Raddysh's three helpers was recorded on the power play. He's up to five goals and 10 points in 33 games this season, including two points with the man advantage. Raddysh has been playing regularly in a top-six role, but his offensive contributions have still been inconsistent -- the only time he recorded at least a point in back-to-back contests this year was from Oct. 14-16.

Blackhawks' Taylor Raddysh: Deposits lone goal in loss
Rotowire
Raddysh scored a goal in Thursday's 7-1 loss to the Kraken.
Raddysh got the Blackhawks on the board at 3:03 of the second period. The 25-year-old has just four points, including three goals, over his last 14 games while filling a middle-six role. He's still seeing plenty of power-play time, but he's mainly been on the second line instead of alongside Connor Bedard. Raddysh is at five goals, two assists, 52 shots on net, 26 hits and a minus-2 rating through 29 appearances this season, offering little in the way of upside in fantasy.

Blackhawks' Taylor Raddysh: Nets third goal of season
Rotowire
Raddysh scored a goal in a 3-2 loss to Buffalo on Sunday.
Raddysh tied the contest at 1-1 when he found the back of the net early in the second period. It was his third goal and fourth point in 16 contests this season. Although he isn't a major offensive threat, Raddysh serves in a top-six role and skates on the second power-play unit, which allows for the occasional scoring outburst.

Blackhawks' Taylor Raddysh: Emerges with unassisted tally
Rotowire
Raddysh scored on his only shot in Friday's 4-3 overtime win over the Golden Knights.
Early in the third period, Golden Knights defenseman Shea Theodore whiffed on his clearing attempt, and it resulted in Raddysh pilfering the puck and brushing twine for his second goal and third point through eight games. His latest tally took place at even strength, but he's also in play shorthanded and on the secondary man-advantage unit. His versatility is something fantasy managers should take into consideration despite the Blackhawks being in last place within the Central Division.

Blackhawks' Taylor Raddysh: Fills empty cage
Rotowire
Raddysh scored an empty-net goal on four shots and added four hits in Monday's 4-1 win over the Maple Leafs.
Raddysh finished off the scoring with the empty-netter, which came in a shorthanded situation. The 25-year-old forward started the season quiet, but he now has a goal and an assist over his last two games. He's added seven shots on goal, six hits and four blocked shots while filling a middle-six role with time on the second power-play unit.

Blackhawks' Taylor Raddysh: Good to go for start of camp
Rotowire
Raddysh (groin) is listed on the Blackhawks' training camp roster that was released Thursday, Charlie Roumeliotis of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
Most of the focus Thursday was on Connor Bedard's first moments in NHL camp, so it's unclear what kind of role Raddysh filled during practice. Raddysh missed time with a groin injury at the end of 2022-23 -- he ended the season with 37 points in 78 contests. The 25-year-old winger has a chance to be a top-six option in 2023-24, and he could have an elevated fantasy profile if he lands one of the winger spots alongside Bedard.
