Orlov recorded an assist, two hits, a plus-1 rating, and four blocked shots during Saturday's 5-2 win over the Maple Leafs.

EDGE Analysis

Orlov seems to be rounding into form after a dreadful start to the season and should finish near the 30-point mark for a third straight campaign. The 26-year-old Russian has established himself as a key cog in Washington's defense, logging 23:08 of ice time per game which should bode well for his future fantasy prospects.

Orlov tallied an assist, a plus-1 rating, and two shots during Thursday's 5-2 win over the Wild.

EDGE Analysis

Orlov assisted on the first of Tom Wilson's two goals and now has two goals and five points over his last seven games. A brutal start to the season has dampened the 25-year-old rearguard's overall output this year, but he's got 17 points in his last 35 games and producing closer to his potential. Logging heavy minutes on a talented offensive team, keep him in your lineup regularly.

Orlov scored a goal and added an assist during Friday's 7-4 loss to Pittsburgh.

EDGE Analysis

After recording 33 points last season, Orlov has taken a slight step backward offensively in 2017-18. He's being deployed in more of a shut-down role alongside Matt Niskanen, and the Russian entered Friday's contest beginning 54.7 percent of his five-on-five shifts in the defensive zone. Orlov has continued to provide respectable peripheral numbers with 85 shots, 83 hits and 74 blocked shots, but his fantasy value is currently limited to deep settings where those secondary statistics carry more weight.

Orlov recorded an assist, two blocked shots and two hits through 20:08 of ice time during Friday's 3-2 loss to Montreal.

EDGE Analysis

The Russian defender has now collected a respectable two goals and two assists through seven January games, and he's also chipped in nine shots, 13 blocked shots and nine hits during the stretch. Orlov offers a solid cross-category profile, but he's currently not moving the needle enough in any particular category to be viewed as anything more than a supporting blueliner in deep settings.

Orlov netted a goal and two hits in 23:54 of ice time during Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Stars.

EDGE Analysis

Orlov put on a dazzling display of speed and puck-handling to get around the Stars defense and blasted a wrist shot past Ben Bishop mid-way through the second period. The 26-year-old Russian had a dreadful October, but has rebounded nicely with four goals and 11 points in his last 23 games -- closer to last season's 33-point pace. Scoop him up if he's still available as he appears to have shaken whatever was bothering him in the first few weeks of the season.

Orlov recorded a goal, four shots and three hits through 21:56 of ice time (1:31 on the power play) during Monday's 3-1 loss to the Islanders.

EDGE Analysis

Don't look now, but Orlov is locked into an offensive surge with two goals, eight points and 22 shots through his past 11 contests. He continues to pad the peripheral categories and is currently providing plenty of value in the majority of fantasy settings. However, his lack of power-play time with the No. 1 unit does limit his upside, and he has proven to be a streaky scorer. Still, as long as expectations are kept in check, Orlov is a solid supporting piece for virtual blue lines.

Orlov recorded a goal during Saturday's 3-1 win over the Wild.

EDGE Analysis

The goal gives Orlov a disappointing two goals and four points in 21 games. Languishing alongside a minus-3 rating, the 25-year-old blueliner has been very slow to start after signing a massive contract extension during the offseason. Fantasy owners should wait a little longer to see if he can right the ship, but it's not looking like a breakout campaign is in store for the young Russian in 2017-18.

Orlov potted a goal and added four shots during Sunday's 2-1 overtime win over the Oilers.

EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old has had a dreadful start to the season with just one goal and three points in 18 games. Fantasy owners can only hope that the marker turns things around for the Russian blueliner who had 33 points and a plus-30 rating a season ago.

Orlov had an assist in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Bruins.

EDGE Analysis

The helper marks just the second point for Orlov in Washington's first 14 games. No doubt he misses Matt Niskanen (upper body), but more was expected out of the Russian blueliner after he received a six-year, $30.6 million extension over the summer. Expect things to turn around for the 26-year-old, but his fantasy value is in a holding pattern until he can break out of this slump in a more significant fashion.

Orlov had an assist in Friday's 4-3 OT win over the Red Wings.

EDGE Analysis

Orlov had been considerably disappointing to start the season as this marks his only point of the campaign thus far after posting 33 points and a plus-30 rating in 2016-17. With a significant boost in ice time (23:58 per game) and manning the second power-play unit, odds are the Russian blueliner was just mired in a cold streak and should start producing at a more reasonable clip. He's a good buy-low candidate if someone in your league dropped him recently, so pick him up if he's available.
