Capitals' Connor McMichael: Scores in postseason loss
McMichael scored a goal on six shots in Tuesday's 4-3 Game 2 defeat to the Rangers.
McMichael has managed just two goals in his last 13 games but had recorded just 14 shots in the 12 games before Tuesday's tilt. The 23-year-old center also saw himself restored to a power-play role in Game 2 after having been dropped from the second unit in the prior five outings.

Capitals' Connor McMichael: Adds helper in win
McMichael logged an assist in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Canucks.
McMichael has two goals and an assist over his last three games. The 23-year-old center set up Alex Ovechkin on the game-winning goal Saturday. For the season, McMichael's been solid with 27 points, 113 shots on net and a minus-15 rating over 64 outings. The Capitals' lack of offense has made few of their players steady fantasy options, but the 23-year-old has taken a step forward this year.

Capitals' Connor McMichael: Scores on breakaway
McMichael scored a goal on three shots in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Kraken.
McMichael has tallied in back-to-back contests after enduring a six-game point drought. His goal Thursday was the game-winner, scored on a breakaway after a failed drop pass by Seattle winger Andre Burakovsky. McMichael is up to 14 goals, 26 points, 112 shots on net, 33 hits, 32 blocked shots and a minus-15 rating through 63 appearances. It's not quite a breakout campaign, but the 23-year-old will continue to have solid appeal in deeper fantasy formats as long as he maintains a top-six role.

Capitals' Connor McMichael: Strikes on man advantage
McMichael scored a goal on his only shot in Wednesday's 7-2 loss to the Oilers.
McMichael tied the game 2-2 on a power play midway through the opening period, snapping home a rebound off Stuart Skinner for his second goal on the man advantage this season. The 23-year-old McMichael had gone scoreless in six games prior to Wednesday, though he's seen consistent usage in Washington's top six and on the power play. He's up to 13 goals and 25 points through 62 games this season.

Capitals' Connor McMichael: Five goals in last four games
McMichael scored twice in a 5-3 win over the Lightning on Thursday.
McMichael scored twice for the second straight game and has five goals in his last four. Nonetheless, his game hasn't taken the great leap forward that the Capitals and their fans had hoped. But there's still time. At 23 years old, McMichael has just 128 NHL games under his belt. The Caps need their youth to step up, so the next 25-30 games will be a good test to see if McMichael can grow into a second-line role or develop into an effective third-liner.

Capitals' Connor McMichael: Pots pair in win
McMichael scored twice on three shots in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Devils.
McMichael had a standout game, notching the first two goals for the Capitals to give them a 2-1 lead. His second goal started off a string of four consecutive scores for Washington, as the team secured a decisive win with a solid effort from netminder Charlie Lindgren. This was a milestone for McMichael, as it was his 10th goal of the season, which established a new career high for the 23-year-old center.

McMichael tied the game 2-2 at the midpoint of the opening period, beating Alexandar Georgiev off an Avalanche turnover. It's the first goal since Jan. 3 for McMichael, who now has three points in his last four games after logging just one assist in his previous 12 contests. The 23-year-old center is up to eight goals and 18 points through 50 games this season.

Capitals' Connor McMichael: Snags power-play helper
McMichael earned a power-play assist in Thursday's 4-2 loss to Florida.
McMichael has found himself playing a bigger role with the man advantage while Evgeny Kuznetsov (personal) is away from the team. With his marker, the 23-year-old McMichael brought an eight-game pointless streak to a close, though he remains stuck in a 13-game goal drought dating back to Jan. 3 against the Devils. Thanks to the increased role, McMichael should start producing with slightly more consistency.

McMichael (illness) is expected to return to the lineup versus Tampa Bay on Saturday after being a full participant in the morning skate, according to Tarik El-Bashir of Monumental Sports Network.

Capitals' Connor McMichael: Out Thursday
McMichael (illness) isn't expected to return Thursday, per Tarik El-Bashir of Monumental Sports Network.
McMichael also missed Wednesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Islanders because of the illness. He has six goals and 13 points in 28 contests this season. Matthew Phillips is projected to remain in the lineup Thursday, but he could become a healthy scratch once McMichael is ready to play.

Capitals' Connor McMichael: Bags apple Thursday
McMichael tallied an assist and dished out two hits and two blocked shots during Thursday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Stars.
McMichael has worked his way up the lineup after posting three goals and eight points in his last 15 games. Evgeny Kuznetsov will continue to provide competition for playing time, but it's clear that the coaches trust the 22-year-old McMichael a great deal and will give him opportunities to grow his game. McMichael may not be a household name, but he should at least be on the radar of fantasy managers everywhere if he can solidify his hold on a top-six role.

Capitals' Connor McMichael: One of each Wednesday
McMichael scored a goal and added an assist in Wednesday's 2-1 win over the Kings.
McMichael's tally at 18:30 of the second period stood as the game-winner. He and Anthony Mantha set up each other's goals in the contest. McMichael had picked up just one assist over his previous four outings. The 22-year-old is up to five goals, 10 points, 33 shots on net and a plus-1 rating through 19 appearances. He's primarily played in a third-line role at center since Nicklas Backstrom (hip) stepped away from the team.

Capitals' Connor McMichael: Earns two points Wednesday
McMichael scored a shorthanded goal on six shots, dished an assist and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Panthers.
McMichael's shortie was the first of his career, and just his second shorthanded point, both of which have come this season. He also set up the second of Anthony Mantha's (upper body) two goals. McMichael has lined up as the third-line center since Nicklas Backstrom (hip) stepped away from the Capitals. McMichael has five points, 21 shots on net and an even plus-minus rating through 11 contests this season.

Capitals' Connor McMichael: Sliding to center
McMichael lined up as the third-line center during Wednesday's practice, Sammi Silber of The Hockey news reports.
McMichael is poised to anchor the third line in the wake of Nicklas Backstrom (hip) announcing he is stepping away from the team to ponder his playing future. The 22-year-old McMichael had been a good fit as a top-six winger despite only having two goals and three points in eight games, but he'll now get an opportunity to return to his natural position following Backstrom's announcement. The 25th overall pick from the 2019 NHL Entry Draft, McMichael is likely to get a regular role moving forward, but the lack of top-six ice time could make his offensive production less consistent, especially as he adapts to the rigors of playing center in the NHL.

Capitals' Connor McMichael: Garners secondary assist
McMichael supplied a shorthanded assist in Friday's 3-2 shootout win over the Wild.
McMichael has reemerged for the Capitals after playing in only six games at the top level last season. The versatile forward actually appeared in 68 games during the 2021-22 campaign, adding nine goals and nine assists to put him on the map as a bottom-six skater. Currently, he's a sneaky option on the third line alongside venerable veteran Nicklas Backstrom and Anthony Mantha, who has been quite inconsistent.

Capitals' Connor McMichael: Scores game-winner
McMichael scored a goal on two shots in Wednesday's 6-4 win over the Devils.
McMichael's third-period tally put the Capitals ahead for good. The 22-year-old forward has occupied a middle-six role this season, racking up two goals and nine shots on net over six contests. It's encouraging that he's maintained his place in the lineup, but McMichael will need to produce more offense to be an option for most fantasy managers.

Capitals' Connor McMichael: Nets tying goal
McMichael scored a goal in Monday's 3-2 shootout win over the Flames.
McMichael tied the game at 2-2 just before the halfway mark of the second period. He's held down a middle-six role in both games this season, though he was limited to just one blocked shot in the season opener versus Pittsburgh. McMichael was selected in the first round in 2019, and he's looking to hold down an everyday job with the Capitals after appearing in just six contests a year ago.
