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

EDGE Analysis

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.

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.

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.

McMichael picked up an assist Tuesday in a 3-2 OT win over Tampa Bay.

EDGE Analysis

His assist was a thing of beauty. He nabbed a dump in, and as he was about to carry it behind and around the net, McMichael passed back to Aliaksei Protas who wired a one timer into the open left side of net. He's off to a slow start this season and has one assist in four contests after delivering 57 and 177 shots in 82 games last year. He'll be fine.

McMichael scored a goal in a 3-1 win over Carolina on Thursday in Game 2.

EDGE Analysis

It was strange goal. Carolina's Sean Walker attempted a dump-in but hit his teammate Shayne Gostisbehere in the face. McMichael grabbed the loose puck and took off, skating in alone on Frederik Andersen and firing the puck right shelf to put the Capitals up 1-0. It was his fourth goal of the postseason; he has six points and 16 shots in seven games. McMichael took a big step forward this season with 57 points, including 26 goals, in 82 games, and he has continued that effort into the postseason.

McMichael logged an assist, four shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Canadiens in Game 4.

EDGE Analysis

The 24-year-old McMichael has regained a scoring touch in the postseason with three goals on 12 shots, one assist, three hits and a plus-3 rating over four outings. He's in a top-six role and should continue to be a steady source of offense throughout the playoffs.
