Orlov has posted five assists over his last five games.

EDGE Analysis

Orlov also added a plus-6 rating and eight shots during that span and seems to be rounding into form in the home stretch of the season. Those in need of a boost to their fantasy blueline might consider adding the 27-year-old Russian if he's still available.

Orlov finished Wednesday's 5-3 win over Philadelphia with two assists.

EDGE Analysis

Both were secondary helpers, and Orlov now has 22 points in 2018-19. The Capitals blueliner hasn't scored a goal since Jan. 20, s stretch of 18 games, but he does have five assists over that span.

Orlov tallied two helpers and a plus-2 rating while logging 20:05 of ice time during Tuesday's 7-2 win over the Senators.

EDGE Analysis

Orlov had his best game in weeks and was a force at both ends of the ice on Tuesday. The Russian blueliner has had a down year with just 20 points and a minus-5 rating in 64 games, but could be heating up just in time for the fantasy playoffs. Those in deeper formats should keep an eye on him moving forward.

Orlov recorded an assist, two PIM, two hits and three blocked shots during Sunday's 6-5 overtime win against the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Orlov continues to putter along in what has been a down campaign with just one goal and five points and a plus-5 rating in his last 16 contests. The 28-year-old Russian will struggle to reach the 30-point mark he had previously become accustomed to and is suitable only for deeper fantasy formats until his offensive output becomes more consistent.

Orlov tallied an assist while logging 21:25 of ice time during Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

Orlov snapped a six-game scoring drought with the helper, bringing him to just three goals, 15 points, and a sub-par minus-11 rating in 55 games. The 27-year-old's fantasy value has taken a step back in 2018-19.

Orlov tallied a power-play assist and three blocked shots during Monday's 4-1 loss to the Blues.

EDGE Analysis

Orlov's assist on Alex Ovechkin's power-play goal constitutes his only point over a 13-game span. The 27-year-old is at real risk of missing the 30-point threshold for the first time in three seasons at this rate. A minus-7 rating and streaky offensive output confine the Russian defender's fantasy value to deeper formats for the time being.

Per coach Todd Reirden, Orlov (undisclosed) went through the NHL's concussion protocol after exiting Thursday's 4-2 win over the Bruins and cleared it, Isabelle Khurshudyan of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

It looked like Orlov may be in danger of missing some time after exiting Thursday's contest, but the fact that he's already cleared the league's concussion protocol suggests he should be good to go for Saturday's matchup with Columbus.

Orlov left Thursday's 4-2 win over the Bruins in the third period after suffering an undisclosed injury, Isabelle Khurshudyan of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Orlov suffered the injury while attempting to lay a hip check on Boston's Ryan Donato. The veteran blueliner's head made direct contact with Donato's shoulder during the hit, which left him visibly shaken. The Capitals have yet to release any details regarding the specific nature of Orlov's injury, but he should probably be considered questionable at best for Saturday's matchup with Columbus at this juncture.

Orlov has posted no points and a minus-2 rating in his last 10 games.

EDGE Analysis

Orlov has taken on more defensive responsibilities in the wake of injuries to Washington's blueline in the first half which may explain the dip in production. The 27-year-old has garnered two goals and 12 points in 42 games, but a minus-5 rating and his recent struggles should encourage caution when rostering him in standard formats.

Orlov had an assist while taking one shot on goal during Thursday's 4-2 win over Arizona.

EDGE Analysis

The point was Orlov's first in his last five contests. While he didn't light up the stat line, the mobile defender upped his assist total to eight for the year. Orlov lacks significant upside for fantasy purposes, as he has only 10 points through 28 games this season.
