McMichael tallied an assist and two penalty minutes during Sunday's 6-1 win over the Penguins.

EDGE Analysis

McMichael has posted two goals and four points in his last six games, serving as Washington's second-line center while Nicklas Backstrom (hip) and Nic Dowd (lower body) remain sidelined. The 20-year-old rookie has six points in 13 games having been pressed into service due to a rash of injuries and the future looks very bright for the 25th overall pick in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft. However, McMichael is likely to be returned to the minors once Washington gets healthy, making him a short-term commodity in standard fantasy formats.
