Stephenson will center the fourth line Thursday against the Flyers, Isabelle Khurshudyan of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stephenson has been a healthy scratch during Washington's recent win streak that was ultimately snapped by the Penguins on Tuesday. With only five goals and 10 points in 55 games, the 24-year-old forward will struggle to receive consistent ice time in Washington's crowded bottom six now that Carl Hagelin is in town and as such carries very little fantasy value.

Stephenson has failed to register a single point in his last 10 games.

EDGE Analysis

Stephenson's cold streak has relegated him to the fringes of Washington's roster now that Carl Hagelin is around to challenge him for bottom-six minutes. The 24-year-old forward is a useful penalty-killer, but he offers precious little to fantasy owners now that he's at risk of inconsistent playing time.

Stephenson skated alongside Nicklas Backstrom and T.J. Oshie during Thursday's practice, Isabelle Khurshudyan of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stephenson will get a brief promotion for Friday's home game against the Flames while Alex Ovechkin serves his one-game suspension for missing the All-Star game. The 24-year-old winger will be back in the bottom six before long, but his prominent short-term role may appeal to those playing daily formats where his bargain price tag may be worth the risk.

Stephenson has just three goals and seven shots in his last 14 games.

EDGE Analysis

Stephenson has been a serviceable bottom-six forward in his fourth season with the Capitals, tallying five goals and nine points in 40 games. The 24-year-old could get pushed for ice time if the Capitals can stay healthy and therefore his fantasy upside remains murky even in deeper formats.

Stephenson registered a goal during Thursday's 3-1 win over the Hurricanes.

EDGE Analysis

Stephenson has two goals in his last three contests and is up to four goals and eight points in 34 games -- on pace to match his 18-point campaign from a season ago. His versatility and two-way acumen are a welcome addition to the Capitals, but his fantasy value remains limited by a lack of offensive production and opportunity.

Stephenson tallied a goal, an assist and a plus-2 rating during Sunday's 6-5 loss to the Ducks.

EDGE Analysis

The points are Stephenson's first in six games and have him on track to post 19 points and a dismal minus-22 rating this season. The 24-year-old is a useful role player for the Capitals but has very limited fantasy value even in deeper leagues.

Stephenson tallied an assist and a minus-1 rating in 12:55 of ice time during Friday's 3-2 overtime win against the Avalanche.

EDGE Analysis

With the helper, Stephenson ends a seven-game scoring drought, but he still has just a goal and three points in his last 15 games. The 24-year-old forward's speed and versatility keep him in the Caps lineup, but his lack of production relegates his fantasy value to the deepest of leagues.

Stephenson skated on the second line during Monday's morning skate, Isabelle Khurshudyan of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stephenson, who has one goal and three points in 12 games thus far, occupied the left wing spot alongside Nicklas Backstrom and T.J. Oshie which could give his short-term fantasy value a significant boost. If you're in a deeper league or looking for a potential sleeper in daily formats, the 24-year-old forward might be worth a look.

Stephenson will start alongside Alex Ovechkin and Evgeny Kuznetsov during Saturday's showdown against the Maple Leafs, Isabelle Khurshudyan of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

The move is a potential windfall for Stephenson's production, having managed just one assist and a minus-3 rating while averaging 12:09 in ice time thus far in 2018-19. The 24-year-old last played with the dynamic Russian duo in Game 6 of Round 2 against the Penguins in the spring but had an uneventful performance. With Tom Wilson (suspension) sidelined for another 15 games and Kuznetsov needing aid in the faceoff dot, the 77th overall pick from the 2012 NHL Entry Draft could get an extended look in the top-six if he can produce, which would significantly boost his value across all formats. At a minimum, Stephenson is worth a look as a value proposition in daily formats.

Stephenson recorded an assist in 12:35 of ice time during Sunday's 5-2 victory over the Blues.

EDGE Analysis

Stephenson is slated to open the season on the fourth line with Nic Dowd and Devante Smith-Pelly. The 23-year-old winger is a useful utility player for the Capitals but will need to carve out a more significant offensive role to have much fantasy value in 2018-19.
