Capitals' Dylan Strome: Picks up power-play assist
Strome logged a power-play assist in Sunday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Avalanche.
Strome continues to be snakebit for scoring -- he has gone 15 games without a goal. In that span, he has six helpers and 22 shots on net, a level of production that has seen him occasionally slip off the first line. Strome is at 51 points (19 on the power play), 130 shots on net, 43 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating through 69 appearances. Barring a late surge, he could miss the 60-point mark for the first time in his four years with the Capitals.

Capitals' Justin Sourdif: Pots goal Sunday
Sourdif scored a goal on two shots, added three hits and blocked two shots in Sunday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Avalanche.
Sourdif snapped a five-game point drought with the tally. The 23-year-old is currently in a third-line role, though he was also in the power-play mix Sunday, which hasn't always been the case this season. Sourdif is up to 14 goals, 30 points, 97 shots on net, 89 hits, 37 blocked shots, 29 PIM and a plus-16 rating over 67 appearances as a rookie.

Capitals' Alex Ovechkin: Pots 1,000th career goal
Ovechkin scored a power-play tally in Sunday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Avalanche.
The goal, which tied the game at 2-2 late in the third period, was Ovechkin's 26th of the season and the 1,000th of his Hall of Fame career between the regular season and the playoffs. Wayne Gretzky, with 1,016, is the only other player in league history to reach four digits. The Capitals are currently six points out of a wild-card spot with 11 games left on their schedule, giving Ovechkin little hope of catching The Great One in that particular category if he doesn't return for one more season in 2026-27.

Capitals' Logan Thompson: Fades late in OT loss
Thompson stopped 21 of 24 shots in Sunday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Avalanche.
The 29-year-old netminder took a shutout into the third period, but Thompson squandered it by giving the puck away behind his own net to set up a Gabriel Landeskog tally just 65 seconds into the third, sparking a Colorado comeback. Thompson has just one regulation loss in his last six starts, going 3-1-2 with a 2.14 GAA and .924 save percentage during that span.

Capitals' Ethen Frank: Leaves Sunday early
Frank (lower body) left Sunday's game against the Avalanche in the first period and won't return.
The injury occurred after Frank collided hard into the post while driving to the net in the first period. The 28-year-old has 24 points (12 goals, 12 assists) in 59 games on the season. It remains to be seen if he'll be forced to miss more time than the rest of Sunday. If he doesn't suit up Tuesday against the Blues, it would be his first absence from the lineup since November.

Capitals' David Kampf: Could meet team during road trip
Kampf (personal) could join the Capitals during the team's upcoming three-game road trip, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports Sunday.
Washington's road swing begins against St. Louis on Tuesday and ends against Vegas on Saturday. Kampf will miss his eighth straight game against Colorado on Sunday. He hasn't played yet for the Capitals after being acquired from Vancouver on March 6. Kampf needed his work visa situation resolved, and now he is away from the team while awaiting the birth of his child.

Thompson's in line to start for the ninth time in Washington's last 10 games. Over his last three appearances, he has been razor-sharp, stopping 96 of 100 shots faced. Overall, the 29-year-old is 24-19-5 with a 2.36 GAA and a .915 save percentage. He'll face a tough test Sunday against Colorado's league-best offense.

He's now at 23 tallies, 47 points, 141 shots on net and a plus-18 rating across 66 appearances in a top-six role.

Leonard scored a goal on three shots in Friday's 2-1 win over the Devils.
Leonard has been productive in March, scoring five goals and adding an assist over eight contests. The 21-year-old rookie is up to 15 goals, 36 points, 123 shots on net, 98 hits and 34 PIM through 63 appearances. Leonard has mostly played in the middle six, but he's already showing ample potential for when he gets a larger role in the future.

Capitals' Logan Thompson: Sharp in Friday's win
Thompson made 30 saves in Friday's 2-1 win over the Devils.
The 29-year-old netminder nearly came away with his third shutout of the season, but Jesper Bratt finally got a puck past him inside the final minute of the third period with New Jersey's net empty. Thompson has just one regulation loss in his last five starts, going 3-1-1 with a dazzling 1.98 GAA and .932 save percentage as the Capitals try to stay in the Eastern Conference playoff picture.

Capitals' David Kampf: Not playing Friday
Kampf (personal) will not be available for Friday's clash versus New Jersey, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports.
Kampf has yet to play for the Capitals since he was dealt from Vancouver on March 6. It started with visa issues, and once that was resolved, Kampf flew back to Vancouver for the birth of his second child. Kampf had two goals and six points in 38 appearances with the Canucks prior to the trade.

Capitals' Logan Thompson: Set to start Friday
Thompson is expected to be in goal at home against New Jersey on Friday, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports.
Thompson has played in nine of the Caps' last 11 outings while posting a 5-3-1 record and 2.12 GAA. At some point, the team may decide to ease up on the workload for Thompson, considering it faces a significant uphill battle in securing a playoff spot. Until then, Thompson's ratios continue to be decent, and he's getting frequent starts, making him a top-end fantasy target.

Capitals' Cole Hutson: Scores in NHL debut
Hutson scored a power-play empty-net goal on three shots in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Senators.
Hutson logged 16:24 of ice time and handled bottom-four minutes in his NHL debut, capping it off with the Capitals' second empty-netter. The 19-year-old blueliner won't be asked to do too much and may not be a lock to play every game down the stretch. He will primarily compete with Declan Chisholm and Timothy Liljegren for a spot in the lineup. Prior to turning pro, Hutson put up 32 points in 35 contests with Boston University this season.

The 25-year-old forward continues to offer decent supplementary offense in a middle-six role.
