Capitals' Alex Ovechkin: Skating on his own
Ovechkin (fibula) is skating on his own in a non-contact jersey, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports Wednesday.
This doesn't change Ovechkin's return timeline, but it's encouraging to see him take his first strides in his recovery. The 39-year-old winger will likely still be out until the second half of December at the earliest. He'll continue to log individual skating sessions until he is cleared to join the full team in practice.

Capitals' Martin Fehervary: Generates assist Tuesday
Fehervary logged an assist, three shots on goal and four blocked shots in Tuesday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Sharks.
Fehervary has helpers in back-to-back contests after going six games without a point. The 25-year-old plays in a top-four role, but he won't off the steadiest offense, instead working as a shutdown blueliner. This season, he's produced six helpers, 21 shots on net, 53 hits and 57 blocked shots over 25 appearances, putting him on a pace that could lead to his first 20-point campaign.

Capitals' Nic Dowd: Puts away goal in loss
Dowd scored a goal on two shots, added 10 PIM, logged two hits and blocked three shots in Tuesday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Sharks.
Dowd's second-period tally was enough to get the game to overtime. He's scored three times over the last eight contests, but he went six games without a point before that stretch. The 34-year-old center is at seven goals, two helpers, 35 shots on net, 52 hits, 32 PIM and 23 blocked shots across 25 appearances in a fourth-line role this season.

Capitals' Logan Thompson: Kept team in low-scoring game
Thompson made 29 saves in a 2-1 overtime loss to the Sharks on Tuesday.
The Caps were strong in the first and then let their game slide in the second and third frames, leaving Thompson to fend off the better-than-expected Sharks. After the Caps tied the game in the second, the Sharks outshot them 18-6 for the remainder of the game, including 13-4 in the third alone. Thompson, who is 10-1-2 with a 2.52 GAA and a .913 save percentage, has been the strong side of a platoon with Charlie Lindgren (7-5-0, 2.95 GAA and .893 save percentage) and a revelation this season. Expect the two men to continue to split starts going forward, though -- the team will need both men sharp down the stretch to maintain its strong play.

Capitals' Logan Thompson: First goalie off Tuesday
Thompson was the first goalie to leave the ice Tuesday, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports, indicating he'll be between the home pipes versus San Jose.
Thompson and Charlie Lindgren continue their every other rotation, which means Lindgren will likely take Friday's clash with Toronto before Thompson is back in goal against Montreal on Saturday. For his part, the 27-year-old Thompson is 3-1-1 with a 2.57 GAA in his last five outings and should continue to split the workload moving forward.

Capitals' Hendrix Lapierre: Adds assist Saturday
Lapierre registered an assist and two blocked shots in Saturday's 6-5 win over the Devils.
Lapierre has turned things around with four helpers over his last six games. He's played regularly since Alex Ovechkin (fibula) was hurt, at the expense of Jakub Vrana, and it looks like steady playing time is paying off. Lapierre is still stuck in a bottom-six role with minimal power-play usage. He has six helpers, 17 shots on net, 11 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating over 18 appearances, so he'll still need to take a couple of steps up on offense to be considered in fantasy.

Capitals' Andrew Mangiapane: Opens scoring in win
Mangiapane scored a goal on three shots in Saturday's 6-5 win over the Devils.
This was Mangiapane's second goal in the last three games. He scored four times and added three helpers over 15 contests in November, which is roughly in line with expectations for his offense. The veteran winger has 10 points, 41 shots on net, 18 hits and a plus-7 rating across 24 outings this season, and he's holding his own in a third-line role.

Capitals' Jakob Chychrun: Finds twine on power play
Chychrun scored a power-play goal and added two PIM in Saturday's 6-5 win over the Devils.
Chychrun scored at 10:56 of the second period, cashing in on the second half of Dawson Mercer's double-minor for high-sticking. The red-hot Chychrun has three goals and four assists over his last four games, including a power-play point in each contest in that span. He's up to a total of eight goals, seven helpers, 38 shots on net, 25 blocked shots, 16 PIM, 14 hits and a plus-10 rating through 19 appearances. That's solid all-around production from the blue line, even with his average ice time (19:58 per game) at its lowest since Chychrun's rookie year.

Capitals' Connor McMichael: Scores power-play goal in win
McMichael scored a goal on three shots in Saturday's 6-5 win over the Devils.
McMichael ended November with nine goals and five assists over 15 games, though just five of those points came over the last eight games. The Capitals shuffled their lineup a bit for Saturday's game, with McMichael and Tom Wilson joining a line with Dylan Strome. For the season, McMichael has 14 goals, 10 helpers, 71 shots on net and a plus-10 rating over 24 contests in a breakout campaign.

Capitals' Rasmus Sandin: Two PP points against Jersey
Sandin scored a goal and added an assist, both on the power play, in Saturday's 6-5 win over the Devils.
Both points came in the second period as Washington struck three times in total with the man advantage. The power-play points were the first of the season for Sandin, while the multi-point performance was his first since Oct. 29. The 24-year-old has been a consistent contributor for the Caps, though, and he's on pace for a career-best campaign with four goals and 13 points through 24 games while adding 43 blocked shots, 27 shots on net, 24 hits and a sparkling plus-18 rating.

Capitals' Taylor Raddysh: Two-point effort Saturday
Raddysh produced a goal and an assist in Saturday's 6-5 win over the Devils.
Both points came 10 seconds apart in the third period as the Capitals' second line broke open a 4-4 tie. It's the first multi-point performance of the season for Raddysh, while the tally snapped an eight-game goal drought. Through 24 contests on the season, the 26-year-old winger has contributed four goals and 11 points.

Capitals' Pierre-Luc Dubois: Two points including game-winner
Dubois scored the game-winning goal and added a power-play assist in Saturday's 6-5 victory over the Devils.
After helping to set up Connor McMichael in the second period, Dubois potted Washington's final tally of the night midway through the third, firing the puck into a wide-open cage after Aliaksei Protas stole it from Jake Allen behind the New Jersey net. It was the first game-winning goal as a member of the Capitals for Dubois, who has three goals and 16 points in 24 games with his new club.

Capitals' John Carlson: Three helpers in Saturday's win
Carlson notched three assists, one on the power play, and fired a team-high five shots on net in Saturday's 6-5 win over the Devils.
The veteran blueliner picked up a helper in each period as he recorded his first multi-point performance since Nov. 9. Carlson wraps up the month with a goal and 11 points in 15 contests. He's on pace to top 60 points in a season for the first time since 2021-22.

Capitals' Charlie Lindgren: Escapes Jersey with seventh win
Lindgren made 22 saves in Saturday's 6-5 win over the Devils.
Washington led 4-2 heading into the third period, but New Jersey dominated a wild final frame and Lindgren did just enough to come away with the victory. While the five goals allowed were a season high for the 30-year-old netminder, Lindgren has still won four of his last five starts. On the season, he sports a 7-5-0 record in 12 outings with a 2.95 GAA and .890 save percentage.
