Duhaime registered an assist, two shots and five hits during Friday's 5-4 overtime win over the Islanders.
Duhaime has quickly found a home on Washington's fourth line with four goals and eight points in just 23 games - matching his offensive output from last season in 39 fewer contests. The rugged winger has the potential to set new career highs if he can keep his production up, but Duhaime does not yet produce offense with enough consistency to garner much fantasy consideration.

Capitals' Brandon Duhaime: Scores, assists Monday
Rotowire
Duhaime scored a goal and added an assist in Monday's 6-2 win over Utah.
Duhaime posted his first multi-point effort this season, snapping a three-game streak in which he didn't crack the scoresheet. The winger has three goals and two assists across nine November outings, but his lack of consistency on a game-to-game basis limits his upside in most formats.

Rotowire
Duhaime (lower body) will be a game-time decision for Sunday's road matchup versus the Golden Knights, according to Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post.
Duhaime left Friday's contest against Colorado after blocking a shot in the final frame. Hendrix Lapierre should suit up if Duhaime can't play, or the Capitals could opt to go with 11 forwards and seven defensemen. Duhaime has logged three goals and two assists through 16 games.

Capitals' Brandon Duhaime: Tallies in blowout win
Rotowire
Duhaime scored a goal on three shots and added four hits in Saturday's 8-1 win over the Blues.
Duhaime got in on the fun late in the third period, scoring the last goal of the game. The 27-year-old has four points over his last six outings, giving him three goals, two assists and a plus-2 rating through 14 contests overall. The fourth-liner has added 18 PIM, 13 blocked shots and 33 hits while averaging a career-best 14:17 of ice time. Duhaime could be poised for a career year if he continues to see more minutes, but his scoring production is unlikely to be consistent.

Capitals' Brandon Duhaime: Nets goal in defeat
Rotowire
Duhaime scored his second goal of the season in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Hurricanes.
Duhaime put Washington up 2-1 at 19:49 of the first period after being set up by Nic Dowd. Duhaime offered three shots, one block and two hits in 13:44 of ice time. The left-shot forward has chipped in two goals and two assists across 11 outings in his first campaign with Washington, and he's filling a fourth-line role while seeing time on the penalty kill. Duhaime's career high in points is 17 from the 2021-22 campaign with Minnesota, so the 27-year-old doesn't offer much fantasy value outside of formats that reward non-scoring production.

Avalanche's Brandon Duhaime: Finds twine Thursday
Rotowire
Duhaime scored a goal and blocked two shots in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Stars in Game 2.
Duhaime earned his first point of the playoffs with a third-period goal. His last scoring contribution also came against the Stars when he had a goal and an assist April 7. The fourth-liner has four shots on net, 24 hits, six blocked shots, six PIM and a minus-1 rating through seven postseason contests -- he shouldn't be expected to put up much offense in a limited role.

Avalanche's Brandon Duhaime: Pair of points in loss
Rotowire
Duhaime scored a goal, added an assist and doled out seven hits in Sunday's 7-4 loss to the Stars.
This was Duhaime's first multi-point effort as a member of the Avalanche. He's quickly gained enough trust to be a regular in the middle six. The 26-year-old has 13 points, 90 shots on net, 196 hits, 68 PIM and a minus-7 rating over 76 contests between the Avalanche and the Wild, and his low-scoring style doesn't lend itself to making much of a fantasy impact.
Duhaime had an assist, two shots on net and four hits in Thursday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Rangers.
Duhaime was moved up from the fourth line to the second line after the Avalanche announced Valeri Nichushkin (lower body) was unavailable. Duhaime picked up the primary assist on Casey Mittelstadt's second-period tally. It was the second assist in three games for Duhaime and his third in nine games since Colorado acquired him from Minnesota.

He found more success Tuesday, setting up a Casey Mittelstadt goal in the second period.

Avalanche's Brandon Duhaime: Traded to Colorado
Rotowire
Duhaime was traded from the Wild to the Avalanche in exchange for a 2026 third-round pick Thursday.
Duhaime has averaged just 10:41 of ice time through 62 contests with Minnesota this season, but 2:06 of that has come on the penalty kill -- he'll likely slot into a similar role for the Avalanche down the stretch. The 26-year-old winger won't offer much offense, but he should bring plenty of physicality to his new team -- he's collected only eight points with the Wild this year, but he's added 66 PIM and 154 hits.

Wild's Brandon Duhaime: Scores again Tuesday
Rotowire
Duhaime scored a goal on five shots against Montreal on Tuesday, giving him tallies in back-to-back games.
Duhaime garnered nine goals in 51 games last season and looks poised to top that mark this season after scoring twice in the opening three contests. After earning seven minutes of PIM in Tuesday's tilt, Duhaime certainly made up for it with his short-handed goal.

Rotowire

Duhaime is slated to occupy a spot on the third or fourth line for Minnesota during the 2023-24 campaign.
