| Pos | Role | Name |

| 2 | Mikhail Grabovski ActiveMikhail Grabovski found the back of the net on Tuesday. Grabovski has been cold lately with just two points in his last 11 games. He has 13 goals and 35 points in 55 contests in 2013-14. Apr 9 |
| 3 | Brooks Laich  I.L.Brooks Laich (groin) has been placed on long term injured reserve. Laich underwent surgery on his groin a couple of weeks ago and is gone for the season. He had only eight goals and 15 points in 51 games this season. Mar 31 |
| 4 | Evgeny Kuznetsov ActiveEvgeny Kuznetsov was placed on the second line Saturday, alongside Troy Brouwer and Marcus Johansson. Kuznetsov potted his third goal of the season and now has eight points in 13 games. Look for a big increase next season as he will be one of the most highly touted rookies heading into the 2014-15 season. Apr 6 |
| 5 | Jay Beagle ActiveJay Beagle scored a pair of goals in Friday's 4-0 win over Chicago. It marked the first two-goal game of his career in his 191st NHL regular season contest. Beagle has four goals and nine points, while averaging 11:09 of ice time, in 61 matches this year. Apr 12 |
| LW | 1 | Marcus Johansson  SidelinedMarcus Johansson won't play Sunday because of an "upper-body injury." He left Friday's contest against Chicago during the second period after he was hit on the left hand with a shot from Nicklas Backstrom on a Capitals' power play. Johansson wasn't able to return. His season ends with him registering eight goals and 44 points in 80 matches. Apr 12 |
| 2 | Dustin Penner ActiveDustin Penner (upper body) returned to action on Tuesday April 8. Penner missed Saturday's game due to the ailment. He had two blocked shots in just 8:58 minutes of playing time. Apr 9 |
| 3 | Joel Ward ActiveJoel Ward had a goal in Washington's 2-1 shootout loss to Los Angeles Thursday evening. Ward scored in his fourth straight game and he now has 22 goals with 20 assists in 71 games this season. He is red-hot now for the Capitals. This is his best season in the NHL so far in his career. Rookie Evgeni Kuznetsov and Nicklas Backstrom assisted Ward's goal. Mar 21 |
| 4 | Jason Chimera ActiveJason Chimera potted his 14th goal of the season in Saturday's 4-2 loss to Boston. Rookie forward Evgeny Kuznetsov had Washington's other marker in the loss. Mike Green picked up just his second assist in his last 11 outings in the contest. Mar 29 |
| 5 | Aaron Volpatti ActiveAaron Volpatti (upper body) has been activated from the long-term injured reserve list. Volpatti is taking part in Washington's pregame warmups, so he will probably play Saturday. He has been sidelined for about two months. Apr 5 |
| RW | 1 | Alex Ovechkin ActiveAlex Ovechkin wants to see Adam Oates behind the bench as coach of the Washington Capitals next season. Ovechkin said 'yeah' when asked if he wanted Oates back as coach. "I trusted him and I still talk to him," Ovechkin said. "I don't know if somebody in this locker room feel bad about him, that's their mind. My mind is we're still good friends and if something happens I'm always going to ask his advice." Oates still has one season left on his contract so it will be an important decision for George McPhee and the Washington Capitals. Apr 14 |
| 2 | Troy Brouwer ActiveTroy Brouwer scored a pair of goals for the Capitals as part of a 5-2 win over Carolina Thursday night. The two tallies give him 25 on the season, good for a career-best and the first time he has reached the quarter-century mark in his career. Eric Fehr and Jason Chimera also enjoyed good nights with a goal and two assists apiece while Joel Ward also counted in the victory. Apr 10 |
| 3 | Eric Fehr ActiveEric Fehr had a goal and two assists in Washington's 5-2 win on Thursday. It was Fehr's first three-point game of the season. He has 13 goals and 31 points in 71 games in 2013-14. Apr 11 |
| 4 | Tom Wilson ActiveTom Wilson, 19, has skated only 503 minutes with the Washington Capitals this season, by far the fewest of the nine teenage NHL rookies who have played at least 50 games. Wilson has scored only three goals and nine points in his limited playing time and has spent more of the year illustrating his grit. The Toronto native ranks fourth in the NHL with 133 penalty minutes and is tied for second in major penalties (13), including 12 fights. But Wilson wants to work toward making a greater impact on the Capitals. "I don’t know how many fights I have this year, but I’ve done that enough. I want to work on my game and keep learning the other stuff," Wilson said. Mar 16 |
| 5 | Ryan Stoa ActiveThe Washington Capitals have promoted Ryan Stoa. Stoa has 33 points and 45 penalty minutes in 51 AHL games this season. He has little to no fantasy value at the NHL level. Mar 5 |
| D | 1 | John Carlson ActiveJohn Carlson generated a goal and an assist in the United States' 7-1 win over Slovakia. He also finished with a plus-3 rating during his 13:17 of ice time. Carlson has 10 goals and 23 points in 59 games with Washington this season. Feb 13 |
| 2 | Mike Green SidelinedMike Green (upper body) may be gone for the remainder of the regular season. And that likely means the rest of the year as the Capitals are close to being eliminated from post-season consideration. Green has nine goals and 38 points this season with a minus-16 rating and 64 penalty minutes. He is a tough fantasy player to figure out as he has excellent offensive skills but his multitude of injuries and a mediocre plus/minus knocks him down in the ratings. Apr 8 |
| 3 | Karl Alzner ActiveKarl Alzner picked up two assists in Sunday's win over Toronto. The defensive-minded rearguard has 16 points along with 121 blocked shots in 69 games this season. Mar 17 |
| 4 | Dmitry Orlov ActiveWashington has agreed to a two-year, $4-million deal with Dmitry Orlov. He was eligible to be a restricted free agent this summer. His new deal will pay him $1.75 million in 2014-15 and $2.25 million in 2015-16. Orlov has produced three goals, nine points, 51 hits and 45 blocks in 39 games this season. He has spent most of the year paired with Mike Green, but his fantasy value is still limited at best. Mar 13 |
| 5 | Connor Carrick ActiveConnor Carrick had two assists on Sunday in the Capitals 6-5 win over Detroit. It was the first multiple point game of his career and he was also plus-two. He was recalled by the Capitals more than three weeks ago and now has a goal and five points in 17 games with a minus-six rating. Feb 3 |
| 6 | John Erskine ActiveJohn Erskine (upper body) returned to action on Saturday March 29. Erskine missed one game as the Capitals were concerned he may have had a concussion but he passed all the baseline tests. He played 13:51 minutes and picked up an assist to give him four points including one goal in 36 games. Mar 30 |
| 7 | Jack Hillen SidelinedJack Hillen (head) will be a "game-time decision" on Tuesday, according to Capitals coach Adam Oates. Hillen has missed two straight games. He has an assist in 13 contests this season. Apr 1 |
| 8 | Patrick Wey SidelinedPatrick Wey is dealing with a head injury. Wey has three assists in nine games with Washington. He was hurt during a fight with Rich Clune on Sunday. Apr 1 |
| G | 1 | Jaroslav Halak ActiveJaroslav Halak held a hungry Blackhawks team at bay on Friday night, stopping all 34 shots sent his way to claim a 4-0 victory. Halak's fifth shutout of the season was also his first in a Caps uniform, improving his record to 5-4-3 in Washington. The 28 year old Slovakian snapped a five game losing streak and builds on a solid season where he's gone 29-13-7 with a .921 save percentage and 2.25 goals against average. Apr 11 |
| 2 | Braden Holtby ActiveWashington Capitals goalie Braden Holtby saw his 2013-14 season end in an odd way, as he logged a 32-save shutout but didn't win because the Tampa Bay Lightning won 1-0 via a shootout. Holtby carried a three-game winning streak into Sunday. He finishes the season with solid stats (23-15-4, .915 save percentage, four shutouts) that might not be good enough for the Caps' brass. In a way, it fits the team: solid at times, but ultimately not good enough. Apr 13 |
