Pacioretty notched an assist in a 4-3 loss to the Rangers in Game 2 on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Pacioretty remains mired in a seven-game goal drought, having registered just one shot in each of his last five outings. If the veteran winger doesn't start shooting the puck more, his goal production will likely continue to be minimal. With Pacioretty still slumping, he's unlikely to push Aliaksei Protas for a top-six role.

Pacioretty recorded a power-play assist and added two shots during Monday's 5-2 win over the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
Pacioretty has picked up four assists -- two on the power play -- over his last nine games but continues to struggle to light the lamp with regularity like he did earlier in his career. The 35-year-old has a respectable 17 points in 32 contests after returning from an Achilles injury, and he garners enough time with the man advantage to warrant a look in deeper formats.

Pacioretty picked up two assists in Friday's 5-2 win over the Flyers.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran winger helped set up tallies by Sonny Milano in the second period and Dylan Strome in the third. It was Pacioretty's first multi-point performance since Jan. 18, but he did extend his current point streak to four games. Over the last 10 contests, he's put together a solid two goals and eight points.

Pacioretty registered an assist and added four shots and two hits during Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
Pacioretty has not scored a goal since Jan. 11, but has mustered four assists over his last seven games as he works his way back from a significant Achilles injury. The 35-year-old could be on the move prior to the trade deadline if the Capitals continue to lose ground in the Eastern Conference playoff race which could enhance Pacioretty's fantasy value during the home stretch of the 2023-24 campaign.

Pacioretty played 18:12 TOI in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Canadiens.
EDGE Analysis
After sustaining a lower body injury on Jan. 27, Pacioretty found his place on the second line being centered by teammate Connor McMichael with T.J. Oshie on the opposite wing. The injury did not hurt his playing time as the 18:12 TOI was the most he played all season. Pacioretty fired five shots on net, played 3:56 TOI on the power play and finished with a minus-1 rating. He looks to improve on his only goal of the season when the Capitals face the Panthers on Thursday.

Pacioretty (lower body) skated on the top line during Monday's practice, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Pacioretty exited in the second period of a 5-4 overtime loss to the Stars on Jan. 27 after logging just 10:25 of ice time, but he appears to have avoided the kind of significant injury that has sidelined him for most of the last two seasons. The 35-year-old has a goal and six assists in 12 games since making his Capitals debut following a lengthy rehab for an Achilles injury. He could be a worthwhile play against his former Canadiens teammates when the Capitals host Montreal on Tuesday.

Pacioretty (lower body) won't return to Saturday's contest against Dallas.
EDGE Analysis
Pacioretty picked up one shot on goal, one hit and a plus-1 rating in 10:25 of ice time prior to leaving Saturday's game. He has produced one goal and six assists in 12 outings this campaign. Washington is off until Feb. 6 against Montreal because of the All-Star break, so Pacioretty has some additional time to recover.

Pacioretty delivered an assist in Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Pacioretty has a goal, two assists and a plus-2 rating since his Jan. 3 return from a long-term Achillies injury. Formerly the offensive focal point of the Canadiens prior to career stops in Vegas and Carolina, Pacioretty now finds himself on a Capitals team that is ranked seventh within the fiercely competitive Metropolitan Division. However, Pacioretty's current one-year, $4 million contract serves as a nice proving ground to see how much he has left in the tank before he'll officially become an unrestricted free agent in the summer.

Pacioretty scored a goal on his lone shot in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Kraken.
EDGE Analysis
Pacioretty was responsible for Washington's lone tally in the second period Thursday, as he one-timed an Alex Ovechkin feed past Joey Daccord to cut Seattle's lead to 2-1. It's Pacioretty's first goal and second point in four games with the Capitals this season, after missing nearly a year while recovering from a torn Achilles. The veteran winger played just three games with the Hurricanes in 2022-23, scoring three goals.

Pacioretty (Achilles) played 11:47 in his season debut versus New Jersey on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
It was Pacioretty's first game in almost a year, as he lasted played on Jan. 19, 2023. The 35-year-old failed to hit the scoresheet in a 6-3 loss. He did not see any power-play time against the Devils but that should change in the near future as Pacioretty has 10 seasons with double-digit points with the man advantage under his belt.
