Irwin scored a goal and an assist in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
It's the 35-year-old blueliner's first multi-point performance in almost a year, with his last coming near the end of last season. Irwin has never been much of an offensive contributor in his career, and he has only two goals and five points through 51 games this season, but he has contributed 109 hits -- his highest total since 2016-17.

Irwin tallied a goal, a plus-3 rating, two shots and three hits during Saturday's 8-3 win over the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
The goal marks Irwin's third point of the season in his 47th game. The burly defender has been a useful depth player for a Capitals team that continues to beset by injuries, but he doesn't generate enough offense to be on fantasy managers' radar.
