McMichael scored a goal on four shots and added two hits in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Canadiens.

EDGE Analysis

McMichael tallied at 4:21 of overtime to secure the comeback win for the Capitals. The 24-year-old has earned seven points over his last five games, giving him some momentum in a second-line role. For the season, he's at seven goals, 28 points, 95 shots on net and a plus-8 rating over 47 contests. He's still shooting a mere 7.4 percent, so an uptick in scoring is possible for the remainder of the campaign.

McMichael scored a goal on three shots, added an assist and went plus-2 in Friday's 5-1 win over the Blackhawks.

EDGE Analysis

McMichael's first-period tally stood as the game-winner, and he also set up a Justin Sourdif goal in the second. The goal snapped a 13-game stretch without one, though McMichael has heated up with seven helpers over his last six outings as well. The 24-year-old is now at six goals, 21 assists, 88 shots on net and a plus-7 rating across 45 appearances in a middle-six role this season.

McMichael notched four assists in Monday's 7-4 win over the Ducks.

EDGE Analysis

The 24-year-old had a hand in each of the Capitals' first four goals, including Justin Sourdif's first career hat trick. McMichael hasn't gotten onto the scoresheet in consecutive games since late November, making him a risky DFS play, but his overall numbers -- five goals and 25 points in 43 contests with 82 shots on net and a plus-6 rating -- have some value in deeper season-long formats.

McMichael picked up two assists in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

McMichael scored a goal and added an assist in Thursday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Hurricanes.

EDGE Analysis

The 24-year-old opened the scoring early in the second period before having a hand in a Nic Dowd tally midway through the third. McMichael had a rough start to the season offensively, but over the last 14 games he's gotten rolling with four goals and 13 points as he looks to show his 2024-25 breakout wasn't a fluke.

McMichael scored a goal and an assist in Friday's 4-2 win over the Maple Leafs.

EDGE Analysis

McMichael notched the Caps' first goal. It was a backhander past Joseph Woll in the second period to pull the team within 2-1. McMichael is on a three-game, four-point scoring streak (two goals, two assists and 14 shots). The young pivot has struggled to find his offensive groove this season after putting up 26 goals and 57 points in 82 games last year. The goal was McMichael's fourth of the season.

McMichael scored a goal on six shots in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

McMichael's unassisted tally at 5:25 of the third period stood as the game-winner. He has two goals and six assists over his last seven contests, a stretch that has helped to get his season back on track after a slow start. The 24-year-old forward is up to three goals, 12 points, 52 shots on net and a plus-2 rating over 24 appearances.

McMichael picked up three assists with two hits, two blocked shots and a plus-3 rating in Wednesday's 7-4 win over the Oilers.

EDGE Analysis

McMichael outdueled Connor McDavid, who had two assists during Thursday's matchup. McMichael is in the midst of a modest three-game point streak in which he's produced a goal and six points, but overall he's having trouble making the pace from his breakout 2024-25 campaign. Through 20 games in 2025-26, McMichael has two goals and 10 points.

McMichael had a goal and an assist in Saturday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Devils.

EDGE Analysis

McMichael found the back of the net with a snap shot in the third period and also assisted on Alex Ovechkin's equalizer. This two-point output snapped McMichael's five-game pointless streak, and he also found the back of the net for the first time since Oct. 24. McMichael will continue to have opportunities to produce as long as he skates on the first line alongside Ovechkin and Dylan Strome, but McMichael's lack of production has limited his upside considerably.

McMichael scored a power-play goal on two shots and added an assist in Friday's 5-1 win over the Blue Jackets.

EDGE Analysis

It's been a poor start to the season for McMichael, but the Capitals haven't needed to adjust too much since they're off to a 6-2-0 start as a team. With Friday's performance, the 24-year-old has three points, 20 shots on net, four hits, three blocked shots and four PIM through eight outings. He broke out to the tune of 26 goals and 57 points over 82 regular-season contests last year, but he'll need to pick up the pace significantly to get back to that level in 2025-26.
