Connolly had a goal and an assist in Sunday's 5-0 victory over the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

His first multi-point game of the season gives him two goals and two assists along with a plus-4 rating over his last three games. The 24-year-old winger is inching towards a career-high in goals and has gone from a minus-1 rating in 71 games with the Bruins in 2015-16 to a plus-17 rating in his first year with the Capitals. Looking more and more comfortable on the third line with Lars Eller and Andre Burakovsky, Connolly may have some sleeper value in deep leagues moving forward, but his lack of overall ice time certainly limits his fantasy upside.

Connolly scored a goal in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Bruins.

EDGE Analysis

The 24-year-old winger has nine goals and 11 points in 37 games on the year. More importantly, he's played in the last 20 games and is now seen as a regular in the lineup which was not the case earlier in the season. Logging regular ice time on an increasingly potent third line, he's starting to carve out some modest fantasy value in deeper leagues so keep an eye on him moving forward.

Connolly potted a goal and was a plus-2 in Washington's 7-3 rout over the Blues.

EDGE Analysis

The former sixth overall pick from the 2010 NHL Draft now has three goals in the last four games on a third line unit that is starting to show some offensive flair. Connolly has had more jump in his game in recent outings and is looking more and more comfortable in the lineup, and may be worth a look in deeper leagues if this trend continues.

Connolly found twine in Monday's crazy 8-7 overtime loss to the Penguins.

EDGE Analysis

Connolly redirected a shot from defenseman Taylor Chorney for his seventh marker of the season. Fantasy poolies that stacked skaters from this game were rewarded handsomely, as there were even bottom-six guys like Connolly not wanting to be left out of the fun. The burly winger curiously has just one assist this season, but the 24-year-old has been an efficient role player as he's sporting a plus-7 rating in 30 games.

Connolly is slated to skate alongside Alex Ovechkin and Nicklas Backstrom Monday against the Canadiens.

EDGE Analysis

With T.J. Oshie (upper body) on the shelf, the Capitals have had to shuffle their lines and Connolly looks like he'll get a crack on the top unit with Alex Ovechkin and Nicklas Backstrom. His fantasy value definitely improves as long as he's getting top-line minutes, so keep an eye on the 24-year-old winger if you're in deeper leagues. He may also make for a sneaky play in daily formats against an injury-riddled Canadiens squad.

Connolly filled the box score Friday, registering a power-play goal, an assist, four shots on goal, two PIM and three hits during a 3-1 win over the Sabres.

EDGE Analysis

Connolly is not one to light up the scoresheet, as the winger came into Friday pointless in seven straight. The 24-year-old capitalized on a backup netminder to bring his total up to three points in 12 games. While this type of performance is not to be expected moving forward, the 2010 No. 6 pick showed he has the ability to contribute.

Connolly got his first goal of the season in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

Connolly scored his first goal and point as a member of the Washington Capitals in his fourth game, adding one hit and a plus-1 rating. The former sixth overall pick from 2010 will need to get consistent playing time to carve out fantasy relevance in standard leagues, which may be difficult to come by on a deep Capitals team.

Connolly will be a healthy scratch for Saturday's home game against the Rangers, Isabelle Khurshudyan of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Zach Sanford reportedly will take his spot on the third line. Connolly, at times, appeared on the top line with Patrice Bergeron and Brad Marchand as a member of the Bruins last season, though the Capitals have used him less frequently in comparison, hence how he's averaged 11:05 of ice time in two games and is being sent to the pine again Saturday.

Connolly will make his 2016-17 debut Tuesday against the Avalanche, Isabelle Khurshudyan of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Connolly will spell Zach Sanford on the third line alongside Lars Eller and Justin Williams. The sixth overall pick from the 2010 Draft signed a one-year deal with Washington in the offseason and will look to build on a career-high, 25-point campaign with the Bruins last season, but will need consistent ice time to do so. His fantasy value in standard leagues remains capped for the time being, but is worth a look in daily formats against an Avalanche team that may be weary having played the night before.

Connolly may play in Tuesday's contest versus the Avalanche, Isabelle Khurshudyan of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Connolly has yet to make his Capitals debut after signing a one-year, $850,000 deal with the team in the summer. The sixth overall pick in 2010, Connolly has posted a modest 59 points in 210 NHL contests, including a 25-point career-high campaign with the Bruins last season. Despite serving as a healthy scratch for Washington's first two games, he's been practicing on the third line with Lars Eller, which is where the 24-year-old will probably slot in once he suits up for game action.
