Dmitry Orlov is next up on our Washington Capitals final report card series. In case you missed the others, here’s the list if you want to catch up: Matt Niskanen, Nick Jensen, Michal Kempny, Alex Ovechkin and Brett Connolly.
Dmitry Orlov, like his fellow defensive pair partner Matt Niskanen had a bit of a down year in 2018-19. Offensively, his numbers dipped from a career-high 10 goals in 2017-18 to just three the next season. However, Orlov is still a good set-up man and finished with 26 assists (29 points) which is just one short of a career-high he set in 2016-17.
