Sandin provided an assist, two shots on goal and three blocked shots in Friday's 6-3 loss to the Canadiens in Game 3.
Sandin earned his first point in three outings this postseason. He's added three shots on net, nine blocked shots and a minus-2 rating. The 25-year-old defenseman has a top-four role while seeing time on the second power-play unit. He won't be a leader on offense for the Capitals, but he's defensively steady and can chip in some secondary scoring.

Capitals' Rasmus Sandin: Sends assist in Saturday's win
Rotowire
Sandin logged an assist, three shots on goal, two hits and a plus-4 rating in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Panthers.
Sandin has had a strong March as a complementary scorer, earning six assists and a plus-6 rating, as well as 11 hits and 16 blocked shots, over 11 appearances. The 25-year-old defenseman continues to play alongside John Carlson on the top pairing, though the Capitals' blue line is one of the strongest in the league from top to bottom. Sandin is up to 27 points, 71 shots on net, 82 hits, 101 blocked shots and a plus-24 rating across 70 appearances.

Capitals' Rasmus Sandin: Pockets assist Tuesday
Rotowire
Sandin logged an assist and three blocked shots in Tuesday's 7-4 win over the Ducks.
Sandin has a helper in four of the last five contests, and he's also gone plus-1 with 10 blocks in that span. The 25-year-old blueliner is up to 25 points, 64 shots on net, 96 blocked shots, 75 hits and a plus-19 rating over 65 appearances this season. He fills a bit of a versatile role for the Capitals, and he chips in a little across the board without being a standout in any given category.

Capitals' Rasmus Sandin: Picks up helper in win
Rotowire
Sandin logged an assist, three blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 5-2 win over the Red Wings.
Sandin has a helper in two of the last three contests. He's been in a top-four role for much of the season, but he's been less of a factor on offense than John Carlson or Jakob Chychrun. Sandin has 23 points, matching his 68-game output from the 2023-24 regular season, and he's added 63 shots on net, 73 hits, 93 blocked shots and a plus-18 rating over 63 appearances this campaign.

Capitals' Rasmus Sandin: Dishes two helpers
Rotowire
Sandin tallied two assists, a plus-2 rating and three blocked shots during Saturday's 8-3 win over the Penguins.
Sandin has recorded 20-plus points in three consecutive seasons following Saturday's two-point effort. The Swedish blueliner has emerged as a stalwart top-four defenseman during his tenure with the Capitals. However, Sandin must find the scoresheet more regularly to have much fantasy appeal in standard formats.

Capitals' Rasmus Sandin: Bags apple
Rotowire
Sandin registered an assist and two shots during Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Panthers.
Sandin ended a seven-game point drought by notching a helper on Andrew Mangiapane's first-period tally. The 24-year-old defenseman has been playing with John Carlson on the top pairing in recent weeks, though a significant boost to Sandin's fantasy production has yet to materialize as a result of the promotion.

Capitals' Rasmus Sandin: Sets up game-winner
Rotowire
Sandin tallied an assist, a plus-1 rating and two shots during Thursday's 1-0 win over the Senators.
Sandin made a terrific effort in the defensive zone before lugging the puck up the ice and feeding Alex Ovechkin for his 874th career NHL goal. The 24-year-old Swede has four goals and 18 goals in 45 games thus far in the 2024-25 campaign.

Capitals' Rasmus Sandin: Chips in with helper
Rotowire
Sandin notched an assist and added two hits in Thursday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Wild.
Sandin has earned three assists over his last five outings. The defenseman has been over 20 minutes of ice time in the last three games, which is something that happened just three times over the prior 11 contests. Sandin is at 16 points, 41 shots on net, 47 hits, 60 blocked shots and a plus-16 rating through 38 outings this season. If he can stay in the top four and continue to see power-play time, he's a solid depth defenseman for fantasy.

Capitals' Rasmus Sandin: Bags apple Monday
Rotowire
Sandin registered a power-play assist while logging 19:32 of ice time during Monday's 4-1 loss to the Bruins.
Sandin's helper snapped a nine-game scoring drought dating to the beginning of December. The 24-year-old Swede is enjoying a fine season overall with four goals, 14 points and a plus-15 rating in 34 games, but Sandin doesn't generate offense with enough consistency to draw the attention of most fantasy managers.

Capitals' Rasmus Sandin: Two PP points against Jersey
Rotowire
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.

Sandin registered an assist in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Devils.
Sandin was credited with the primary helper on Matt Roy's first goal of the season at 13:52 of the first period. Sandin has been productive in November, getting on the scoresheet in seven of 11 contests, including a five-game point streak between Nov. 8-17. Health permitting, Sandin is on his way to a career year. He's up to three goals, eight assists and a plus-16 rating over 20 appearances.

Capitals' Rasmus Sandin: Pockets assist in win
Rotowire
Sandin notched an assist and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Golden Knights.
Sandin's point streak is up to five games (three goals, two assists), despite him taking on a smaller role since Jakob Chychrun returned from injured reserve. Sandin kept the streak alive with a secondary helper on Jakub Vrana's second-period goal, which was the game-winner. Overall, Sandin has three goals, seven helpers, a plus-13 rating, 18 shots on net, 20 hits and 36 blocked shots through 17 contests.

Capitals' Rasmus Sandin: Gets goal in win
Rotowire
Sandin scored an empty-net goal on three shots in Friday's 5-2 win over the Avalanche.
Sandin was able to close out the scoring with three seconds left in the game. The defenseman is on a roll with three goals and an assist over his last four contests. The 24-year-old is out of the power-play mix with Jakob Chychrun healthy again, but Sandin is still seeing top-four minutes, which allows him to make an impact at even strength. For the season, the Swedish blueliner has nine points, 18 shots on net, 20 hits, 36 blocked shots and a plus-11 rating through 16 appearances.

Capitals' Rasmus Sandin: Scores again Saturday
Rotowire
Sandin scored a goal on two shots and went plus-2 in Saturday's 8-1 win over the Blues.
Sandin has scored in back-to-back games while adding a plus-4 rating in that span. As expected, he moved to the third pairing with the return of Jakob Chychrun from an upper-body injury, and it appears Sandin's power-play time has dried up as well. The 24-year-old defenseman has two goals, five assists, 14 shots on net, 18 hits, 34 blocked shots and a plus-9 rating over 14 appearances. He'll have some upside if he can see top-four minutes at even strength, but Sandin's smaller role when the Capitals are fully healthy is not very encouraging for fantasy purposes.

Capitals' Rasmus Sandin: Puts away goal in loss
Rotowire
Sandin scored a goal, blocked three shots and went plus-2 in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Penguins.
Sandin's first goal of the season got the Capitals on the board in the first period. He's exceeded 20 minutes of ice time in five of his last six games, but his ice time could be in line to drop once Jakob Chychrun (upper body) returns, which could be as soon as Saturday versus the Blues. Sandin is up to six points, 12 shots on net, 34 blocked shots, 18 hits and a plus-7 rating over 13 contests. He should still be an important part of the Capitals' defense as well as a candidate for power-play minutes even when Chychrun is healthy.

Capitals' Rasmus Sandin: Provides assist in win
Rotowire
Sandin notched an assist, four blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 7-2 win over the Blue Jackets.
Jakob Chychrun (upper body) landed on injured reserve Saturday, so Sandin is in line for a larger role. He saw 20:37 of ice time in the blowout win -- that's his second-highest total in 10 contests this season. Sandin has five helpers, 11 shots on net, 26 blocked shots, 12 hits and a plus-7 rating so far, and if he can stay on the second power-play unit, he should have an easier path to offense.

Capitals' Rasmus Sandin: Puts up two helpers
Rotowire
Sandin notched two assists, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Rangers.
Sandin had multiple helpers for the second time in three games. He played a season-high 24:45 after Jakob Chychrun (upper body) left the contest in the first period. If Chychrun misses time, Sandin is the natural option to replace him on the power play, and he'd likely move up to a top-four role at even strength as well. Through eight outings, Sandin has four helpers, nine shots on net, 16 blocked shots, nine hits and a plus-5 rating from a third-pairing role.

Capitals' Rasmus Sandin: Registers two assists
Rotowire
Sandin recorded two assists, two shots on goal, five blocked shots and a plus-4 rating in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Flyers.
Sandin hadn't gotten on the scoresheet prior to Wednesday, a slump that has seen him slip onto the third pairing. The 24-year-old blueliner broke through, helping out on goals by Taylor Raddysh and Nic Dowd in this contest. Through six games, Sandin has two helpers, five shots on net, six hits, 13 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating. His offense is likely to be limited when he's not seeing power-play time -- John Carlson and Jakob Chychrun have had most of the minutes with the man advantage so far.
