Line Change
Eller will be in tonight.
Eller only has 1 G and 2 A and it all came in one game. He is highly skilled but needs to stay in the lineup and score with more regularity if he is going to be fantasy relevant.
Ovechkin off to a slow start.
Ovie only has 2 G, 2 A, -2 and has 1 GWG. He has had his best two games of the season in his last 2 games. However the results still aren't there. Ovechkin may not be what he once was but how can you go from a guarantee of over a point-per-game pace to just 4 points in 9 games? He's got the skill he just needs to find the back of the net.
Ovechkin will move back to LW tonight.
Looks like the RW experiment in Washington is over. Ovie will move back to the left side tonight as the Capitals take on the Devils and Ovechkin looks for his first goal of the season.
Alex Ovechkin may see time on Capitals' penalty kill
This is good news for owners who have Ovie in leagues that have Average Time on Ice and Shorthanded Goals as categories.
Alexander Ovechkin could start the season at right wing.
If the Capitals keep Ovechkin on the RW, he would get dual eligibility at LW and RW.
