Sprong tallied an assist and two shots during Tuesday's 6-1 victory over the Flyers.

EDGE Analysis

Sprong has posted assists in consecutive games, giving him seven goals and 14 points in 31 outings. The 24-year-old is thriving with the Capitals with a career-high plus-8 rating and 16.7 shooting percentage despite averaging just 11:04 of ice time. Sprong's solid play was a contributing factor in Washington's decision to move Richard Panik at the trade deadline. As such, it's likely that Sprong has secured a regular role on the third line for the foreseeable future.

Sprong registered a goal on three shots and added an assist in an 8-4 loss to the Islanders on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Lars Eller won an offensive-zone faceoff back to Sprong late in the first period, and Sprong got a wrist shot through New York netminder Semyon Varlamov to draw Washington to within 3-2. The goal was Sprong's first since March 15, halting his seven-game dry spell. Sprong has seven goals -- halfway to his career high -- and five assists in 25 games this season.

Sprong dished out two assists in Thursday's 4-3 win over New Jersey.

EDGE Analysis

Sprong assisted on each of Washington's first two goals, helping Dmitry Orlov tie the game at one apiece in the first period before drawing the lone helper on Alex Ovechkin's second-period snipe. This was the first multi-point performance of the season for Sprong, who has been relegated back to the bottom six since Tom Wilson returned from his suspension last week.

Sprong scored a goal on two shots in a 6-0 victory over Buffalo on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Sprong beat Carter Hutton on a second-period breakaway to give the Capitals a 4-0 lead with less than five minutes left in the frame. It was Sprong's second straight game with a goal and extended his point streak to four games (three goals, one assist).

Sprong tallied an assist while recording a plus-3 rating during Thursday's 5-3 win over the Flyers.

EDGE Analysis

Sprong has two goals and three points in his last five games and is stepping up to fill the void left by the absence of Tom Wilson (suspension). The 23-year-old winger is likely bound for a reserve role once Washington has its full accompaniment of wingers again, but he's certainly been an impactful depth player with four goals and six points in 15 games despite averaging just 9:51 of ice time per contest.

Sprong registered a goal while logging 10:07 of ice time during Saturday's 5-2 win over the Devils.

EDGE Analysis

Sprong was given a sweater for the first time since Feb. 7 after Evgeny Kuznetsov (upper body) was scratched just before puck drop. With three goals and four points in 11 games -- despite averaging a modest 9:06 of ice time -- the 23-year-old winger is proving to be a valuable depth addition for the Capitals but is less attractive as a fantasy option due to the lack of consistent playing time.

Sprong scored a goal on his lone shot and produced two hits in Monday's 5-3 loss to Boston.

EDGE Analysis

Sprong gave the Capitals a 2-0 lead in the first period, weaving through a pair of Boston defenders before beating Jaroslav Halak from the right faceoff circle. It was the second goal in the past four games for the 23-year-old, who made the most of his 5:14 of ice time.

Sprong skated alongside Jakub Vrana and Evgeny Kuznetsov on the second line during Tuesday's morning skate, Samantha Pell of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sprong managed just 8:01 of ice time in his debut with the Capitals on Sunday, so it's not clear if the 23-year-old winger has impressed his coaching staff enough to get a long look in the top six or if they're merely looking to jump-start a lagging offense. At any rate, the 46th overall pick from the 2015 NHL Entry Draft could be a bargain option for those in daily formats in the short term.

Sprong skated alongside Lars Eller and Richard Panik on the third line during Saturday's practice, Tarik El-Bashir of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sprong replaced Connor Sheary on the third unit as head coach Peter Laviolette continues to sort out lineups in advance of Jan. 14's opener against the Sabres. With just two points in eight games with the Ducks during the 2019-20 season, Sprong is expected to serve as a depth option and the lack of reliable playing time limits any fantasy upside for the time being.

Sprong signed a two-year, $1.45 million contract extension with the Capitals on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Sprong only appeared in eight NHL contests with the Ducks this season, notching two points over that span. He'll likely be a rotational, bottom-six option for the Capitals in 2020-21, which means he won't have any value from a fantasy standpoint.
