Alex Ovechkin | Fantasy Outlook
Ovechkin looks to ignite power play as Capitals host Devils
Alex Ovechkin and the Capitals host the Devils at Capital One Arena in an early-season Metropolitan Division clash between two 4–3–0 clubs. Fresh off recording an assist on Wednesday against Montreal to close in on franchise milestones, the 41-year-old veteran has seen his even-strength deployment scaled back to fourth-line duty alongside Ilya Protas, though he remains anchored on the top power-play unit. Fantasy start rates for Ovechkin have plummeted to 47% amid a modest start of just one goal through six games. Still, Washington enters as slight home favorites in what projects as a higher-scoring environment against New Jersey netminder Jake Allen (unconfirmed).
Our projection for tonight expects Ovechkin to deliver ~1 point with a good chance to score, alongside ~2–3 shots on goal and solid physical peripherals on his way to approximately 3.1 fantasy points. His top power-play deployment preserves a high scoring ceiling, even with trimmed 5-on-5 minutes. Looking at the weekly slate, tonight’s contest serves as Washington's final game of a three-game week, leaving no further opportunities to pad weekly scoring after today. While his diminished even-strength ice time warrants some tempered expectations, his man-advantage upside keeps him viable. Today’s action: Cautious Start.
