Lapierre scored a goal on two shots, added four hits and blocked two shots in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Rangers in Game 4.

EDGE Analysis

Lapierre carved through the Rangers' defense to score in the second period, ending an 18-game goal drought. While he tied the game at 2-2, the Capitals were unable to pull ahead and ultimately lost the game and the first-round series. The 22-year-old center took some strides in 2024-25 with eight goals, 14 assists, 51 shots on net and a minus-1 rating in 51 regular-season outings as well as two points over four playoff games. Lapierre should be able to push for a full-time NHL role in 2024-25.

Lapierre registered an assist and three shots during Tuesday's 6-2 loss to the Sabres.

EDGE Analysis

Since garnering regular playing time following the trade of Evgeny Kuznetsov to the Hurricanes, Lapierre has been a steady contributor for the Capitals with six goals and 12 points in his last 18 games. The 22-year-old is an important piece in Washington's long-term plans and his late-season success should be enough for him to earn a full-time NHL role for the 2024-25 season.

Lapierre scored a goal on three shots in Saturday's 4-1 win over Chicago.

EDGE Analysis

Lapierre opened the scoring 7:01 into the first period, deflecting a John Carlson shot past Petr Mrazek to give Washington an early lead. The 22-year-old Lapierre now has goals in consecutive games and seven points (five goals, two assists) in his last six contests as he's earned a spot on the Caps' top line alongside Alex Ovechkin. Overall, Lapierre's up to seven goals and 14 points through 31 games this season.

Lapierre was recalled from AHL Hershey on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Lapierre was sent to the minors earlier in the day to keep him eligible for the AHL playoffs. He has six goals and 13 points in 30 outings with Washington this season.

Lapierre was assigned to AHL Hershey on Friday, according to PuckPedia.

EDGE Analysis

Lapierre has been on fire recently, racking up four goals and six points over his last six games with the Capitals. The 22-year-old will almost certainly be back up with the big club ahead of Saturday's matchup with Chicago, but he needed to be sent down temporarily in order to be eligible for the AHL playoffs.

Lapierre collected two assists in Friday's 5-2 win over the Flyers.

EDGE Analysis

The 22-year-old rookie also chipped in two shots on net, two blocked shots, two hits and a plus-2 rating while winning 11 of 19 faceoffs. Both of Lapierre's points came in the second period to spark a Caps' rally from an early 2-0 deficit. Since getting recalled from AHL Hershey in late February, he's delivered three goals and five points in three games. He isn't seeing any shifts on the power-play yet, but it may only be a matter of time before his role increases.

Lapierre scored a pair of goals in Monday's 6-3 win over the Senators.

EDGE Analysis

Drawing into the lineup for the first time since Jan. 18, Lapierre extended Washington's lead to 5-3 early in the second period before adding a second tally later in the frame, finishing a give-and-go with Anthony Mantha. It's the first career multi-goal effort for the 22-year-old Lapierre, who now has four goals and nine points through 26 games this season. He should hang onto a bottom-six role while Nic Dowd (upper body) and T.J. Oshie (upper body) remain sidelined.

Lapierre was summoned from AHL Hershey on Friday, according to Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press.

EDGE Analysis

Lapierre has two goals and seven points in 25 contests with Washington this season. He'll provide the Capitals with forward depth while T.J. Oshie (lower body) and Nic Dowd (upper body) are unavailable.

In a corresponding move, Rasmus Sandin (upper body) was activated from injured reserve. Lapierre has contributed two goals, seven points and 21 shots on net in 25 NHL appearances this season.

Lapierre tallied an assist and registered four PIM during Thursday's 5-2 win over the Blues.

EDGE Analysis

The helper snapped a six-game skid for Lapierre, who also found his way to the penalty box for the first time in the 2023-24 campaign. With just seven points in 25 games, it may be difficult for the 21-year-old to secure regular playing time once Beck Malenstyn (personal) and Sonny Milano (upper body) return to the lineup.
