Capitals' Graeme Clarke: Scores twice in AHL win
Clarke scored two goals in AHL Hershey's 6-3 win over Belleville on Saturday.
Clarke has scored three times over his last two games. For the season, the 24-year-old forward is at 14 goals and 21 points in 42 appearances. That is his lowest per-game pace since 2021-22. The Capitals have no room in the NHL and better options for call-ups on Hershey's roster, so Clarke is unlikely to see time with the big club in 2025-26.

Capitals' Cole Hutson: Puts up two points for Terriers
Hutson scored a goal and added an assist in Boston University's 5-3 win over the University of New Hampshire on Saturday.
Hutson has shown no ill effects after his head injury during the World Junior Championship. He's up to nine goals and 27 points in 30 appearances for the Terriers this season, and he had four points in three games with Team USA during the WJC. Hutson's offense is down from last year's 48-point effort in 39 contests, but that is likely a product of the Terriers' struggles more than it is something the defenseman can control on his own.

Capitals' Logan Thompson: Makes 24 saves Friday
Thompson stopped 24 of 25 shots in Canada's 5-1 win over Switzerland in the 2026 Winter Olympics on Friday.
Thompson was beaten by Pius Suter in the first period, but other than that, the goaltender was solid across the board. Jordan Binnington and Darcy Kuemper are the other two netminders on the roster, and it's unclear who will get the nod for Sunday's group-stage finale against France.

Capitals' Logan Thompson: Starting Friday for Canada
Thompson will patrol the Canadian crease versus Switzerland on Friday at the 2026 Winter Olympics, per Mark Masters of TSN.
Jordan Binnington, who stymied the Czechs on Thursday with a 26-save shutout, is getting the night off, and Darcy Kuemper will back up Thompson. Thompson is 19-16-4 with a 2.45 GAA and a .912 save percentage across 39 starts for Washington this season. Switzerland opened its Olympic Games with a 4-0 win over France on Thursday.

Capitals' Clay Stevenson: Sent to AHL
Stevenson was loaned to AHL Hershey on Tuesday.
Washington recalled Garin Bjorklund from the minors in a corresponding move. Stevenson has gone 11-8-3 with a 2.57 GAA and a .912 save percentage across 24 AHL appearances during the 2025-26 campaign. He also has a 2-1-0 record and has stopped 66 of 73 shots in three NHL outings this season. Stevenson may return to the Capitals after the Olympic break if Charlie Lindgren (lower body) remains unavailable.

Capitals' Garin Bjorklund: Brought back up
Bjorklund was recalled from AHL Hershey on Tuesday.
Clay Stevenson was loaned to Hershey in a corresponding transaction. Bjorklund is now the No. 2 goaltender on Washington's roster behind Logan Thompson, as Charlie Lindgren is currently on injured reserve due to a lower-body injury. The 23-year-old Bjorklund has yet to appear in an NHL game.

Capitals' Tom Wilson: Opens scoring in win
Wilson scored a goal on two shots and added four hits in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Predators.
Wilson ended a nine-game goal drought at 4:15 of the first period. He's earned seven points in nine contests since he returned from a lower-body injury. The 31-year-old power winger is up to 23 goals, 49 points, 108 shots on net, 132 hits, 78 PIM and a plus-20 rating over 50 appearances. The Olympics are next for Wilson, who is set to represent Canada. He'll likely play on an energy line in the tournament.

Capitals' Logan Thompson: Wins in injury return
Thompson (upper body) made 27 saves in a 4-2 win over Nashville on Thursday.
He had missed four games with the injury. Thompson heads into representing Canada at the 2026 Winter Olympic Games on a high with the win. He has a 19-6-4 record with two shutouts, 2.45 GAA and .912 save percentage in 39 starts this season.

Capitals' Dylan Strome: Five points in last five games
Strome put up two assists in a 4-2 win over the Predators on Thursday.
Strome has five points (two goals, three assists) in his last five games (nine shots), and he has 14 points, including six goals, in his last 14 games (33 shots). And now that Pierre-Luc Dubois has returned after missing 47 games, Strome should feel the relief of having another big body down the middle.

Capitals' Pierre-Luc Dubois: Two points in return after 47 games
Dubois (abdomen) had a goal and an assist Thursday in a 4-2 win over Nashville. He had missed 47 games.
Dubois last played Oct. 31. He had surgery to address injuries to his abdominal and adductor muscles. He played 17:35 and put up two shots, one block and one hit. His goal came on the power play. Dubois is a solid waiver grab right now; he's slotted right back into his second-line center role and onto the second power-play unit.

Capitals' Jakob Chychrun: Career season continues
Chychrun scored two goals and an assist in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Predators. He fired seven shots.
Chychrun's first goal stood as the winner, and it was a beauty. He made a spin move to elude a checker at center ice, skated into the Preds' zone, cut toward the middle and fired a long-range wrist shot that got past Justus Annunen. Chychrun has put up three multi-point games in his last five outings. He has three goals, five assists and 16 shots in that span. He heads into break with 46 points, including a career high 21 goals, and 182 shots in 57 games. Chychrun is one point from equaling his NHL career high for points (47), which he set last regular season.

Capitals' John Carlson: Leaves Thursday's game
Carlson (lower body) won't return to Thursday's game versus the Predators.
Carlson picked up a power-play assist in the first period and added two blocked shots in 7:03 of ice time. The defenseman will have nearly three weeks to recover during the Olympic break. If the injury isn't too significant, he should be able to suit up Feb. 25 versus the Flyers, but the Capitals will likely have some sort of update available when they reconvene during the break following some time off.

Capitals' Garin Bjorklund: Returned to minors
Bjorklund was sent down to AHL Hershey on Thursday, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports.
The Capitals activated Logan Thompson (upper body) from injured reserve in a corresponding move. Bjorklund was the backup goaltender in all three games since his recall Jan. 31. He was 4-5-2 with a 3.43 GAA and an .879 save percentage across 11 AHL appearances before being recalled.

Capitals' Logan Thompson: Set to start Thursday
Thompson (upper body) has been activated off injured reserve and is expected to tend the twine at home against Nashville, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports.
Thompson will suit up for the first time since Jan. 27 against the Kraken, a game in which he gave up five goals on 32 shots in a losing effort. The backstop's return to action Thursday should clear the way for him to join Team Canada in Milan for the Olympics.

Capitals' Sonny Milano: Won't play Thursday
Milano has been ruled out for Thursday's game against Nashville due to personal reasons, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports.
Milano appeared in each of the last three games, recording an assist, a hit and a minus-1 rating during that time. He'll be unavailable for the Capitals' final game before the Olympic break, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him back in action when the team resumes play in late February.

Capitals' Pierre-Luc Dubois: Suiting up Thursday
Dubois (abdomen) will be in the lineup against the Predators on Thursday.
Dubois returns after a 47-game stint on injured reserve following his abdominal surgery. The 27-year-old winger figures to slot into a top-six role with the Caps, in addition to linking up with one of the power-play units. Dubois was held without a point in his first six games this year and will not have enough time to get over the 60-point threshold, missing that mark for just the second time in the last five years.

Capitals' Trevor van Riemsdyk: Gathers helper Tuesday
Van Riemsdyk logged an assist and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Flyers.
Van Riemsdyk has played in eight straight games, largely a product of the Capitals having dealt with some injuries on the blue line. He snapped an 11-game point drought with his helper on an Anthony Beauvillier goal in the third period. Van Riemsdyk is up to seven points, 24 shots on net, 62 blocked shots, 16 PIM and a minus-5 rating across 44 outings this season, mainly in a third-pairing role.

Capitals' Bogdan Trineyev: Heads to AHL
Trineyev has been sent to AHL Hershey on Wednesday.
Trineyev has been a healthy scratch for the last three games. He hasn't earned a point while posting one shot, one hit and two blocks in two outings with Washington this season. He has nine goals and 21 points in 32 outings with Hershey in 2025-26.
