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.

Capitals' Anthony Beauvillier: Two points Tuesday
Beauvillier recorded a goal and an assist in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Flyers.
Beauvillier has found the back of the net in back-to-back games, something he hadn't done all season long previously. He has three of his 12 goals in 2025-26 in his last six appearances. Beauvillier has contributed 20 points, 122 shots on net and 75 hits through 58 outings this campaign.

Capitals' Clay Stevenson: Beaten three times Tuesday
Stevenson stopped 18 of 21 shots in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Flyers. The fourth goal was an empty-netter in the final seconds of the game.
Stevenson has started each of the Capitals' last three games due to the absences of Logan Thompson (upper body) and Charlie Lindgren (lower body). Stevenson stopped 48 of 52 shots in his previous two starts, so he was due to return to earth sooner than later. If Thompson can't play in Thursday's home matchup against Nashville, Stevenson could make another start.

Capitals' Aliaksei Protas: Extends point streak
Protas recorded a shorthanded goal and had two shots on net in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Flyers.
Protas found the back of the net for the first time since Jan. 24, but the 25-year-old playmaker has routinely found ways to remain productive for the Capitals. Aside from extending his current point streak to three games with this goal, this was also Protas' fourth goal and eighth point across 15 games since the beginning of January.

Capitals' Clay Stevenson: Starting again Tuesday
Stevenson will defend the road net against Philadelphia on Tuesday, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports.
Stevenson will make his third straight start, and his second in two nights. He has won his previous two outings while stopping 48 of 52 shots, including a 29-save performance in Monday's 4-1 victory over the Islanders. Philadelphia ranks 21st in the league with 2.91 goals per game this season.
