Orlov scored the game-tying goal in the third period of Thursday's 2-1 shootout victory over Columbus.

EDGE Analysis

It was his first goal and just his second point in nine games; equally promising, he skated 19:52, his second-highest mark in that span. Orlov's shrinking minutes and sparse production have been a drain for fantasy owners, but he's still in the midst of his finest campaign, having already set a new career high in points (30) to go with a spectacular plus-29 rating. His team context is enough to keep him on rosters in many leagues, but owners in shallower formats shouldn't be afraid to drop him if there's more upside on the wire.

Orlov recorded a goal, two shots and a plus-1 rating in a 2-1 victory over the Flyers on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

This was Orlov's first goal since he scored a pair versus Carolina on Jan. 23, but it was still a beautiful slap shot from the point. Since then, he has a goal and six points in the last 17 games. He only has five goals, but the tally gives Orlov 29 points, which tallies a career high. Orlov also has a career-high in shots, blocks and average time on ice.

EDGE Analysis

In the midst of a breakout campaign, Orlov is providing solid cross-category production with 27 points, 93 shots, 73 blocked shots, 34 PIM, 94 hits and a plus-28 rating. Additionally, he's proven capable of climbing the depth chart and upping his offensive impact when John Carlson or Matt Niskanen have missed time. Orlov is a universal fantasy asset attached to the best team and offense in the NHL.

Orlov notched a pair of assists -- one on the power play -- in Thursday's 5-2 win over New Jersey.

EDGE Analysis

He heads into the All-Star break sporting 25 points -- just four off his career high -- as well as a plus-21 rating over 49 games, so Orlov is truly in the midst of a breakout campaign. The 25-year-old tipped fantasy owners off last year by collecting 29 points despite averaging barely 16 minutes on the ice, and his increased role this season has him over 20 minutes most nights. His outlook remains rosy for the season's second half.

EDGE Analysis

The Russian defenseman is well on his way to a breakout campaign, and after flashing fantasy upside last year, he's delivering solid results in 2016-17. Orlov might not be a universal own, but there aren't many settings where his modest cross-category production doesn't move the needle. He's up to a rock-solid four goals and 23 points with a plus-19 rating, after all.

EDGE Analysis

The 25-year-old Russian has points in back-to-back games and is on his way to break last year's career-high of 29 points. Firmly entrenched as a top-four defenseman, Orlov has plenty of fantasy value and is worth owning in standard and daily formats moving forward.

EDGE Analysis

The 25-year-old Russian blue liner continues to build on a breakout season as he has two goals and 19 points at the midway mark, putting him on pace for a career-high 38 points. Playing well with defense partner Matt Niskanen and now a fixture on Washington's second power-play unit, Orlov is establishing himself as a solid top-four defenseman in the NHL ranks and rewarding fantasy owners that were able to find him late in their drafts or in free agency.

EDGE Analysis

He'd stayed productive in his 20 games since scoring his only other goal of the season, netting 11 assists and a plus-8 rating. Indeed, the 25-year-old blueliner is enjoying an offensive renaissance by his standards -- with 18 points (not to mention a plus-13 rating) in 37 games, he's on pace to blow by last season's career-high 29 points.
