Sprong tallied a goal, an assist, and a plus-2 rating during Sunday's 6-1 win over the Penguins.

EDGE Analysis

Sprong had been held off the scoresheet in his previous four games prior to the multi-point effort on Sunday. The 24-year-old is skating in Washington's top six for now, but could see a reduced role once T.J. Oshie (lower body) returns to action.

Sprong scored a goal on three shots in a 5-4 overtime loss to the Panthers on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Sprong got the Capitals on the board just 43 seconds into the second period, beating Florida goalie Spencer Knight glove side on a breakaway to pull the Panthers to within 2-1. It was the second goal of the year for the 24-year-old Sprong, who scored 13 times and added seven assists in 42 games last season, his first with the Capitals.

Sprong will be a healthy scratch for Wednesday's home match against the Red Wings, Samantha Pell of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sprong has just two points in six games and logged a season-low 7:42 of ice time during Monday's 7-5 win over the Senators. The 24-year-old posted 13 goals and 20 points in 42 games last season, so Sprong should get back into the lineup in the near future.

Sprong had a goal, an assist, two shots and a plus-3 rating in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Devils.

EDGE Analysis

Sprong set up Anthony Mantha's backhand at the top of the crease to open the scoring less than five minutes into the first period before adding an unassisted goal of his own in midway through the second. These were the first two points of Sprong's season.

Sprong collected an assist and two shots on goal in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Bruins in Game 1.

EDGE Analysis

Sprong helped out on Tom Wilson's tally in the first period. Their line with T.J. Oshie accounted for two goals and five points in the contest. Sprong was solid to end the season with six goals in his last eight games, although that's an unsustainable scoring pace for the 24-year-old winger. He posted 20 points, 74 shots on net and a plus-7 rating in 42 regular-season appearances.

Sprong (illness) will return to the lineup for Friday's game versus Philadelphia, JJ Regan of NBC Sports Washington reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sprong was on fire prior to missing Wednesday's win over the Rangers with an illness, racking up five goals through his last five games. He's expected to return to a prominent role Friday, skating on the Capitals' first line and top power-play unit against the Flyers.

Sprong (illness) won't be in the lineup for Wednesday's matchup with the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

The team announced that the illness is not COVID-19-related, and that Sprong is listed as day-to-day. The 24-year-old has had a strong season, racking up 12 goals and 19 points across 39 games to this point. With Sprong sidelined, look for Daniel Carr to replace him in the lineup Thursday.

Sprong scored a goal on three shots and dished out a pair of hits Thursday in a 5-4 overtime loss to Pittsburgh.

EDGE Analysis

Sprong picked up his fourth goal in the last three games when he parked himself in front and deflected a Justin Schultz shot to give the Capitals a 3-2 lead late in the second period. The 24-year-old has accounted for 11 goals and 18 points in 37 games this season and might be worth streaming in the fantasy playoffs while he's carrying a hot stick.

Sprong scored the game's only goal and added two PIM with two hits in Tuesday's 1-0 win over the Islanders.

EDGE Analysis

Sprong walked out from the corner and sniped a top-corner shot past New York netminder Ilya Sorokin to open the scoring just 1:29 into the game. It was the third goal in the last two games for Sprong, who has scored 10 times in just 36 games in his first season as a Capital. It took him 63 games to score a career-high 14 goals in 2018-19 with Pittsburgh and Anaheim.

Sprong scored twice Saturday in a 6-3 victory over the Islanders.

EDGE Analysis

Sprong snapped a nine-game goal drought with the snipes, one of which stood as the winner. The winger has always had good hands, but opportunity hasn't really knocked for him. But Sprong really clicked with star Evgeny Kuznetsov on Saturday night. Keep an eye on this combination -- if the chemistry has ignited, you need to target Sprong.
