Capitals' Jakob Chychrun: Distributes three helpers
Chychrun notched three assists and a plus-3 rating in Thursday's 4-3 shootout win over the Red Wings.
Chychrun has five helpers over his last three contests. The 27-year-old defenseman continues to rack up offense at a high level this season -- his effort Thursday gives him 41 points (18 goals, 23 assists) in 53 outings. He's added 167 shots on net, 73 blocked shots, 47 PIM, 45 hits and a plus-23 rating while seeing steady top-four minutes and power-play time.

Capitals' Declan Chisholm: Finds twine Thursday
Chisholm scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 4-3 shootout win over the Red Wings.
Chisholm's goal was his first as a Capital. The 26-year-old defenseman stayed in the lineup for a second consecutive game due to the absence of Matt Roy (lower body). Chisholm and Dylan McIlrath continue to compete for depth minutes, but both often sit when the Capitals are healthy. For the season, Chisholm has four points, 18 shots on net and 18 blocked shots over 20 appearances.

Capitals' Nic Dowd: Tallies in shootout win
Dowd scored a goal, added six hits and blocked two shots in Thursday's 4-3 shootout win over the Red Wings.
Dowd had the first goal of the game and the last one in the shootout to help the Capitals earn the win after blowing a two-goal lead in the third period. The 35-year-old defensive center had gone 23 games without a goal, picking up seven assists in that span. He's produced three goals, 14 points, 41 shots on net, 84 hits, 36 blocked shots, 47 PIM and a minus-5 rating through 47 outings this season.

Capitals' Dylan Strome: Extends productive stretch
Strome recorded a goal and an assist in Thursday's 4-3 shootout win over the Red Wings.
Strome went pointless in the 5-1 loss to the Kraken on Tuesday, but that was one of the two games in which he hasn't been able to crack the scoresheet in his last 10. During that productive stretch, Strome has tallied 11 points (five goals, six assists), 27 shots and six blocked shots despite a minus-3 rating.

Capitals' Charlie Lindgren: Gets helped off ice after win
Lindgren sustained an apparent lower-body injury at the end of overtime in Thursday's 4-3 shootout win over the Red Wings, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports.
Lindgren shook off the injury long enough to perform in the shootout, but he needed assistance from his teammates to exit the ice at the end. The 32-year-old's injury comes at a bad time, as Logan Thompson (upper body) was not available Thursday. Lindgren's status wasn't updated after the game, leaving the Capitals' goaltending situation murky heading into Saturday's home game versus the Hurricanes. With the win, Lindgren improved to 8-6-3 with a 3.37 GAA and an .884 save percentage over 18 appearances.

Capitals' Rasmus Sandin: Slated to return Thursday
Sandin (lower body) is slated to play Thursday versus Detroit, per Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post.
Sandin missed Tuesday's 5-1 loss to Seattle because of the injury. He has two goals and 17 points in 47 appearances in 2025-26. Dylan McIlrath is projected to be a healthy scratch after playing Tuesday.

Capitals' Matt Roy: Not playing Thursday
Roy (lower body) won't play versus the Red Wings on Thursday, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports.
Roy will be out of action for a second straight game. Rasmus Sandin (lower body) is warming up and should be able to return, while Dylan McIlrath or Declan Chisholm will stay in to cover Roy's absence.

Capitals' Charlie Lindgren: Guarding road goal
Lindgren is set to start on the road against Detroit on Thursday.
Lindgren has gone 0-2-1 while stopping 91 of 105 shots (.867 save percentage) across his past three starts. He's 7-6-3 with a 3.41 GAA and an .885 save percentage in 17 outings in 2025-26. Although the Red Wings are coming off a 3-1 loss to Los Angeles on Tuesday, Detroit is still 13-4-2 across its past 19 games.

Capitals' Rasmus Sandin: Questionable for Thursday's matchup
Sandin (lower body) is considered questionable for Thursday's game against the Red Wings, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports.
Sandin exited Saturday's game against the Oilers due to a lower-body injury and was unavailable Tuesday against the Kraken. He'll presumably be monitored in the hours leading up to Thursday's puck drop before the Capitals determine his status, while Declan Chisholm will likely remain in the lineup if Sandin is unavailable.

Capitals' Matt Roy: Status in question Thursday
Roy (lower body) is questionable for Thursday's clash with Detroit, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports.
Roy is currently mired in a six-game pointless streak and hasn't found the back of the net in 34 straight outings. With Rasmus Sandin (lower body) also in question, the duo of Declan Chisholm and Dylan McIlrath may have to continue holding down the third pairing.

Capitals' Logan Thompson: Dealing with upper-body injury
Head coach Spencer Carbery said Thursday that Thompson is considered day-to-day due to an upper-body injury, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports.
Thompson was hit in the mask by a shot during Tuesday's game against Seattle, and he'll at least be unavailable for one matchup. It seems likely that Charlie Lindgren will handle goaltending duties on the road against Detroit on Thursday, while Clay Stevenson was recalled from AHL Hershey to provide additional depth.

Capitals' Clay Stevenson: Called up from AHL
Stevenson was recalled from AHL Hershey on Thursday.
The call-up was necessitated as Logan Thompson took a shot off his mask versus Seattle on Wednesday and is out with an upper-body injury. Stevenson is expected to back up Charlie Lindgren in Detroit on Thursday. Stevenson had an 11-8-3 record with a 2.57 GAA and a .912 save percentage over 24 AHL games before his recall.

Capitals' Alex Ovechkin: Tallies on power play in loss
Ovechkin scored a power-play goal on four shots in Tuesday's 5-1 loss to the Kraken.
Ovechkin has scored twice over the last three games. He's surged in January with seven goals and four assists over 14 contests. The 40-year-old superstar is up to 22 goals, 45 points (14 on the power play), 149 shots on net, 90 hits and a plus-1 rating over 54 appearances. Considering he has just four power-play goals this season, it's possible Ovechkin unlocks some more scoring the rest of the way.

Capitals' Logan Thompson: Surrenders five goals to Kraken
Thompson stopped 27 of 32 shots in Tuesday's 5-1 loss to the Kraken.
Thompson was good in the first period, but the Kraken's pressure broke through for three goals in the second and two more in the third. The 28-year-old netminder hadn't given up five goals since he let in six versus the Rangers on Dec. 23. This was Thompson's fourth loss in his last five outings, and he's now at an 18-16-4 record with a 2.46 GAA and a .912 save percentage over 38 starts. He's well on his way to a career-high workload, and that doesn't even include potential game action at the Olympics with Team Canada. The Capitals' current road trip ends Thursday in Detroit.

Roy (lower body) will not play Tuesday versus the Kraken.
Roy and Rasmus Sandin (lower body) are both out of action for Tuesday. The Capitals will have Declan Chisholm and Dylan McIlrath in action instead, while Trevor van Riemsdyk should see more ice time. Roy's next chance to play is Thursday in Detroit.

Capitals' Rasmus Sandin: Unavailable Tuesday
Sandin (lower body) won't play Tuesday versus the Kraken.
Sandin was injured Saturday versus the Oilers and won't be able to suit up for this game either. The 25-year-old will be replaced by Declan Chisholm in the lineup. Sandin's next chance to play is Thursday versus the Red Wings.
