Orlov posted two assists and two shots in the Capitals' 4-0 win over the Coyotes on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Orlov assisted on Dylan Strome's opening goal of the game, firing a shot from the point that was redirected in. He would pick up another assist in a similar fashion in the second period when Tom Wilson redirected a puck past Karel Vejmelka on the power play. The Russian defender seems to be heating up as this performance marks Orlov's second multi-point performance in three games. On the season, Orlov has three goals and 16 points in 32 games.

Orlov scored a goal, dished an assist, logged two hits and went plus-2 in Monday's 4-3 overtime win over the Islanders.

EDGE Analysis

Orlov's first goal since Dec. 19 came at a great time for the Capitals -- 4:27 into overtime to seal the win in a game they had once trailed 3-0. He also picked up a helper on Tom Wilson's first tally of the season. Orlov has four points over seven outings in January, and he's at 14 points, 57 shots on net, 64 hits, 45 blocked shots and a plus-12 rating through 30 appearances this season.

Orlov registered an assist, two shots and two hits during Friday's 3-2 loss to the Predators.

EDGE Analysis

Orlov has helpers in consecutive contests, giving him two goals and seven points in 13 games since returning from injury. The 55th overall pick from the 2009 NHL Entry Draft is meshing well on the second pairing with Nick Jensen and garnering enough ice time to merit rostering in deeper leagues.

Orlov managed an assist in Thursday's 3-2 overtime win over the Senators.

EDGE Analysis

Orlov is making up for lost time following a lower-body injury that shelved him for 16 straight games; he's scored a pair of goals to complement three helpers since rejoining the lineup Dec. 11. The 31-year-old has also turned in some eye-popping defensive stats of late -- including six blocked shots in a win over the Maple Leafs and seven hits in a subsequent clash with the Red Wings -- so fantasy managers should take note of these trends.

Orlov scored a goal on two shots, added four hits and went plus-3 in Tuesday's 7-3 win over the Blackhawks.

EDGE Analysis

Orlov scored in the final minute of the game to secure the Capitals' win. The defenseman hasn't missed a beat since returning from his 16-game absence due to a lower-body injury, earning a goal and two assists in two contests. For the season, he's up to eight points, 31 shots on net, 35 hits, 19 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating in 15 appearances. He'll continue to be a reliable and physical part of the Capitals' top four.

Orlov logged two assists, three shots on goal and two blocked shots in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

Orlov returned from a 16-game absence due to a lower-body injury, and made an immediate impact. He helped out on the last two of the Capitals' five tallies. The 31-year-old's physicality is his best trait for fantasy, but he's also been solid with seven assists, 29 shots on net, 31 hits, 18 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating in 14 appearances. The all-around production could be enough to get him on the fantasy radar in deeper formats.
