Leipsic registered a power-play assist while logging 10:06 of ice time during Saturday's 4-1 win over the Stars.
EDGE Analysis
Leipsic has been quietly productive while serving on the Capitals fourth line with two helpers in his first six games. Despite the efficiency, the 25-year-old winger is not likely to get enough opportunity to merit fantasy consideration, as his 2:29 of power-play time during Saturday's win was well above his season average (00:45).

Leipsic (lower body) will be in the lineup versus Chicago on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Leipsic will get the opportunity to play on the Caps' first line alongside Travis Boyd and Tom Wilson on Monday, but figures to be a bottom-six forward once the regular season kicks off Oct. 2 versus St. Louis. While Leipsic should have the inside track for a spot in the lineup, he will likely have to stave off challenges for ice time from Chandler Stephenson and Garnet Hathaway throughout the 2019-20 campaign.

Leipsic signed a one-year deal with the Capitals on Monday, Mike Vogel of the Capitals' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Leipsic posted seven goals and 23 points in 62 games between the Canucks and Golden Knights during the 2018-19 season. The former CHL standout is expected to settle into a fourth-line role with the Capitals but may struggle to get consistent ice time in a crowded bottom six which could significantly limit his fantasy appeal.

Leipsic (lower body) was not extended a qualifying offer ahead of Tuesday's deadline and will become an unrestricted free agent on July 1, Lisa Dillman of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Splitting time between Vancouver and Los Angeles, Leipsic collected a total of 23 points over 62 games in 2018-19. Just 25 years of age, the winger's youth should be enough to earn him a contract somewhere, but it'll likely only be a one-year deal.

Leipsic (lower body) isn't expected to play again this season, Curtis Zupke of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Assuming that holds true, Leipsic will finish the 2018-19 season with 23 points over 62 games between the Canucks and Kings, both career-high totals. The 24-year-old winger may never be a fantasy juggernaut, but he may possess some utility in deep leagues next season.

Leipsic (lower body) will not play in Monday's tilt against Calgary.
EDGE Analysis
Leipsic will miss his sixth consecutive game with the lower-body issue. He has 18 points in 45 points with the Kings this season, the most he's produced with any of the three franchises he's played for over the last two seasons.

Leipsic (lower body) remains scratched Saturday against the Blackhawks, Jon Rosen of LA Kings Insider reports.
EDGE Analysis
Leipsic has now been out over a week, last suiting up March 21. His next chance to return will come Monday against the Flames. That's the first of four April games on the Kings' schedule before the end of their season.

Leipsic (lower body) isn't in the projected lineup for Thursday's game against Vancouver, NHL.com's Kevin Woodley reports.
EDGE Analysis
Leipsic will miss a fourth consecutive game Thursday, and he remains without a clear-cut timetable for his return to action. The Kings aren't in contention for a spot in the playoffs, so there's no incentive for them to rush the 24-year-old winger back before he's fully recovered.

Leipsic (lower body) remains out of the lineup Tuesday in Edmonton, Jon Rosen of LA Kings Insider reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Kings went back to a traditional 12-forward, six-defenseman lineup for this one, but Leipsic's not part of that equation. He'll hope to get back in there when Los Angeles wraps up its Western Canada trip Thursday in Vancouver.

Leipsic (lower body) will not be available in Calgary on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Leipsic has now missed the last two contests after notching five points in his previous nine games. Though he doesn't have an official timetable to return, the 5-foot-10 winger will likely miss Tuesday's game in Edmonton as well.
