Alexeyev was recalled by Washington on Tuesday, source reports.
EDGE Analysis
Alexeyev will be on hand as an injury-replacement option for the Capitals' playoff run. The 2018 first-round pick has yet to make his NHL debut, but he was productive in limited action with AHL Hershey during the regular season, picking up nine points while posting a plus-11 rating through 12 contests.

Alexeyev was re-assigned to AHL Hershey on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Alexeyev has been summoned to the minors following the conclusion of his season with KHL Salavat Yulaev Ufa. The 31st overall selection from the 2018 NHL Entry Draft posted eight goals and 16 points in 55 games while riding out the pandemic in his native Russia and is expected to serve primarily as a depth option in the minor-league ranks for the balance of the 2020 season. The 21-year-old has intriguing long-term fantasy upside as his development continues, so those in dynasty formats should consider stashing him.

Alexeyev is not on the Capitals' training camp roster.
EDGE Analysis
Alexeyev, a first-round draft pick from 2018, was expected to compete for a roster spot this season. Instead, he'll remain with Salavat Yulaev Ufa of the KHL, where he has amassed four goals, five helpers and 65 blocked shots in 47 contests. The 21-year-old Russian would have had a tough time outplaying numerous veterans for a roster spot this season, but could challenge for at least a part-time role in 2021-22.

The Capitals have loaned Alexeyev to Salavat Yulaev Ufa of the KHL.
EDGE Analysis
Alexeyev will likely have a significant role with the Capitals in 2020-21, so look for him to be recalled ahead of next season's training camp. The 2018 first-round pick notched 21 points while posting a plus-8 rating in 58 games with AHL Hershey this year.

Alexeyev (undisclosed) will take part in Monday's practice, Samantha Pell of The Washington Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Alexeyev had yet to participate in Phase 3 training camp, and though he is not expected to participate in scrimmage drills, he will at least return to the ice. The 20-year-old has a bright NHL future as he develops but is not expected to garner significant playing time in the postseason.

Alexeyev missed his second day of practice Tuesday, Mike Vogel of the Capitals' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Alexeyev was named to the training camp roster but has yet to get onto the ice for the club, Even once given the all-clear, the blueliner is a long shot to appear in any games during the postseason, which makes him a non-factor in fantasy contests.

Alexeyev was added to the Phase 3 training camp roster Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Alexeyev managed three goals and 21 points in 58 games during his inaugural pro season with AHL Hershey. The 20-year-old owns excellent NHL upside and could be a reliable defenseman for the Capitals as he continues to develop. The 31st overall selection from the 2018 NHL Entry Draft could see some playing time during Washington's playoff run, but he is not likely to see a regular role in the NHL for another season or two.

The Capitals assigned Alexeyev (concussion) to AHL Hershey on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Alexeyev missed the entirety of the big club's training camp due to a concussion, but his demotion to the minors indicates that he's no longer in the league's protocol. The 2018 first-round pick, who racked up 10 goals and 43 points in 49 games with the Red Deer Rebels of the WHL last year, will likely spend the entirety of the 2019-20 campaign in the minors.
