EDGE Analysis

Orlov got the Capitals on the board with 23 seconds left in the first period, hammering a one-timer from above the left circle to tie the game at 1-1. It was the sixth goal of the season for Orlov, who has produced a point in each of his last three games while racking up an incredible plus-8 rating in that time.

Orlov posted an assist and a plus-3 rating during Tuesday's 6-1 win over the Flyers.

EDGE Analysis

Orlov has posted a helper and a plus-3 rating in consecutive games as he continues his impressive run since the end of February, posting four goals, 11 points and a plus-12 rating in his last 22 games. The 29-year-old Russian has moved up to the top pairing alongside John Carlson and is playing some of the best hockey of his career.

Orlov picked up two assists in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Devils.

EDGE Analysis

He also added three hits, three blocked shots, one shot on goal and a plus-1 rating to his ledger. Orlov has only five goals and 10 points through 33 games on the season, but aside from one goal, all of that offensive production has come in the last 15 contests.

Orlov scored the overtime winner while adding six shots, two PIM, a blocked shot and a plus-1 rating in Friday's 2-1 victory over the Devils.

EDGE Analysis

Moments after Vitek Vanecek made a big save in the Washington crease, Orlov scooped up the puck, carried it the length of the ice and wired a shot that deflected off Yegor Sharangovich's stick and beat MacKenzie Blackwood high on the short side. Orlov has been on a roll lately, picking up two goals, four points, 11 shots on net, 11 hits, nine blocks and a plus-3 rating over the last six games, but on the season he has only five goals and eight points through 32 contests.

Orlov recorded two assists while adding three blocked shots, two hits and a plus-1 rating in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran blueliner picked up his first multi-point performance of the season while still racking up his usual production in secondary categories. Orlov has delivered multiple hits and blocks in three straight contests, and on the season he has four goals, seven points, 50 hits, 40 shots, 33 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating through 29 games.

Orlov tallied a goal, a plus-2 rating, two shots and three hits during Thursday's 4-3 win over the Devils.

EDGE Analysis

Orlov has begun to heat up in recent weeks, having managed three goals and four points in his last nine games after posting just a single point in the 18 games prior. The 29-year-old is acclimating well to life alongside partner Justin Schultz and should be able to produce better offensive numbers than earlier in the season. However, his lack of meaningful power-play time will continue to limit his overall fantasy upside.

Orlov scored a goal on his only shot and dished out three hits in a 3-1 win over the Flyers on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Orlov one-timed a John Carlson seam pass to provide the Capitals with a 2-1 lead with 16 seconds left in the second period. It was Orlov's first point since Feb. 20, snapping his seven-game scoreless skid. After producing at least 20 points in each of his previous five seasons, Orlov has just two goals in 19 games in 2020-21.

Orlov scored his first goal of the season in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

His tally late in the second period ruined Igor Shesterkin's shutout bid, and gave Orlov his first point in 11 games this season. The blueliner's numbers have been down across the board so far, but he delivered a line more in keeping with his career performance Saturday, adding three shots, two hits, two blocked shots and a plus-1 rating to his ledger.

Orlov has yet to register a point after his first nine games.

EDGE Analysis

Orlov is no stranger to slow starts, but going nine games without a point --managing just seven shots in that span -- is a fairly remarkable cold streak for the 29-year-old. Averaging just 18:07 of ice time and bumped from the second power-play unit by Justin Schultz, the 55th overall pick from the 2009 NHL Entry Draft is a non-factor in standard formats until he can jumpstart his offensive production.

Orlov (COVID-19 protocols) will draw into the lineup Monday against the Bruins, Samantha Pell of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Orlov has missed the last five games but is poised to make his return -- albeit on the third pairing with Nick Jensen. The 29-year-old rearguard is still searching for his first point of the season.
