Your weekly look at individual Washington Capitals' ups and downs:
| Forwards | Trend | Notes |
| Nicklas Backstrom | UP | Added to his team-leading point total with a four-point week, including two points on the reinvigorated power play. And just three away from 500 assists... the milestone watch begins. |
| Jay Beagle | EVEN | Beagle was the only forward to play in all five games over the last two weeks and not register a point, which is (somewhat surprisingly) a bit rare for him these days. |
