Girard notched an assist in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Red Wings.

Girard has contributed four helpers over the last five games to provide steady offense in a second-pairing role. The defenseman is up to 16 points, 31 shots on net, 48 blocked shots, 28 hits and a plus-2 rating over 28 contests. Girard's usage is steady, including a little power-play time, and he's well on his way to doing better than he did in an 18-point regular season in 2023-24.

Jones (upper body) was activated from injured reserve and placed on waivers Sunday, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.

Jones missed nine straight games after being injured in a 4-2 loss to Colorado on Nov. 13. He will probably get some playing time with AHL Ontario if he clears waivers. The 27-year-old defender hasn't earned a point in five NHL appearances this season while posting six shots on goal, four blocked shots and nine hits.

Barron has played in just five of the Canadiens' 16 games since the start of November after sitting out Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Capitals.

Barron appears to be on the outside looking in for now. Jayden Struble and Arber Xhekaj are ahead of him on the depth chart, though Barron tends to draw in whenever there's an injury concern. For the season, Barron has one goal, 14 shots on net, 15 hits, 15 blocked shots, eight PIM and a minus-6 rating through 13 appearances.

Chychrun notched a power-play assist and six shots on net in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Canadiens.

Chychrun had been held off the scoresheet in the previous two games. The 26-year-old defenseman set up Dylan Strome's insurance tally at 13:49 of the third period. Chychrun now has 16 points (five on the power play), 48 shots on net, 30 blocked shots, 20 PIM and a plus-11 rating through 22 appearances, a successful start to his Capitals tenure.

Carlson registered an assist, four shots on goal, four blocked shots and two PIM in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Canadiens.

Carlson has a goal and five assists over his last six games, though just one of those points has come on the power play. The 34-year-old defenseman is up to 20 points (seven on the power play), 70 shots on net, 51 blocked shots, 24 hits and a plus-13 rating through 27 outings. Carlson remains the Capitals' top blueliner in all situations, which makes him a reliable fantasy contributor.

Walman notched a power-play assist, three hits and two blocked shots in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Panthers.

Walman had been held off the scoresheet in the previous two contests. The Sharks' offense has gone cold on their tough road trip, but Walman has helped out on three of the team's eight goals over their last four games. For the season, he has 20 points (four on the power play), 64 shots on net, 37 blocked shots, 23 hits, 18 PIM and a plus-7 rating across 25 appearances. He needs one more point to match his career high from last season.

Fleury notched an assist, two hits, three blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Blackhawks.

Fleury has four assists over his last five games. He's been on the second pairing throughout that warm stretch, covering for Dylan Samberg (foot), who is on injured reserve. Fleury is up to five helpers, 18 shots on net, 18 hits, 26 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating over 17 games this season. He doesn't have a ton of scoring upside, but he's worth a look as a streaming option in favorable matchups.

Stanley notched an assist in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Blackhawks.

This was Stanley's first point in five games since he returned from an undisclosed injury. He missed eight contests with the issue, but he has reclaimed a third-pairing role, bumping Colin Miller to the press box. Stanley has picked up four points with 11 shots on net, 14 hits, 20 blocked shots, 36 PIM and a plus-6 rating through 16 appearances this season.

Martinez (neck) is not practicing Sunday, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Martinez left Saturday's game after he was struck in the neck by a deflected puck. While his status is in doubt for Monday's game against the Rangers, Martinez was not placed on IR and doesn't appear to be in for an extended absence. Kevin Korchinski was recalled from AHL Rockford on Sunday to provide additional defensive depth.

Vlasic scored a power-play goal on three shots, added two hits, blocked two shots and went minus-3 in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Jets.

Vlasic opened the scoring at 9:01 of the first period. This was his second goal in as many games after he failed to score over the first 25 contests of the campaign. The 23-year-old blueliner is up to 12 points (seven on the power play), 40 shots on net, 63 blocked shots and a minus-9 rating through 27 outings overall.
