Washington Capitals

Jordan Kyrou

RW

After Kyrou was one of the names that headlined rumors at the 2026 trade deadline, he'll head to the nation's capital to play for Washington in the 2026-27 season. The 28-year-old winger has put together a strong career thus far, scoring 168 goals and totaling 378 points across 488 regular-season games with the St. Louis Blues. While he took a small step back in production during the 2025-26 campaign with 46 points in 72 outings, he'll be playing alongside an upgraded supporting cast in Washington, who won the Presidents' Trophy in 2024-25. Despite needing a knee surgery in April, he's a prime bounce-back candidate for the 2026-27 season and should occupy a top-six role, making Kyrou a staple on fantasy rosters for the foreseeable future.

Rasmus Sandin

D

Sandin missed Washington's final two regular-season games and finished the campaign with five goals, 29 points, 12 PIM, 88 hits and 127 blocks in 73 outings. He's expected to miss 6-9 months as a result of the injury, which puts his availability for the start of the 2026-27 campaign into question.

Pierre-Luc Dubois

LW

Dubois missed Washington's season finale Tuesday due to what was previously classified as an upper-body injury. The Capitals didn't make the playoffs, so Dubois has plenty of time to focus on his recovery. The 27-year-old is hoping to avoid surgery and be fine in a month or two. He finished 2025-26 with five goals and 19 points in 29 outings.
