Raddysh tallied an assist during Saturday's 4-2 win over the Sabres.
Raddysh paid immediate dividends after being moved up to the top line for Saturday's tilt. The 26-year-old has stepped up in the wake of injuries to Alex Ovechkin (lower leg) and Sonny Milano (upper body) with a goal and five points over his last eight games. Raddysh should continue to be a useful role player and could be worth a gander in deeper formats as long as he's logging prime even-strength minutes on the top line, but a reduced role is likely in the near future with the aforementioned Ovechkin beginning to ramp up his rehab.

Capitals' Taylor Raddysh: Notches helper in win
Rotowire
Raddysh posted an assist in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Canadiens.
Raddysh is benefiting from a look on the second line and second power-play unit. He has four points over his last six games during one of his best stretches of the season. Overall, the winger is at 12 points, 31 shots on net, 21 hits and an even plus-minus rating through 27 outings. He had just 14 points in 73 games in 2023-24, but Raddysh posted 37 points the year before, so it's good to see him bounce back from a bad season.

Capitals' Taylor Raddysh: Scores in overtime loss
Rotowire
Raddysh scored a goal in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Maple Leafs.
Raddysh has a goal and an assist over his last two contests. He's been on the fourth line for much of the season, but he's averaging 13:27 of ice time over 15 contests. He's racked up seven points, 19 shots on net, 10 hits and a plus-1 rating. Raddysh had 37 points over 78 games with the Blackhawks in 2022-23 before dipping to just 14 points in 73 outings a year ago. As such, a 30-point campaign is very much in reach even with a limited role.

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.

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: 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.

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: 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: Done for the year
Rotowire
Raddysh (groin) has been ruled out of the final four games of the season, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Raddysh is dealing with a groin injury that is expected to keep him sidelined for 10-14 days, so although he won't play again this season, there's no reason to believe he won't be ready for training camp in September. The 25-year-old winger will finish the year having set new career highs in goals (20), points (37) and shots (129) through 78 appearances.
