Lowry took six shots and scored his first goal of the year in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Capitals.

EDGE Analysis

After Mark Scheifele broke up Braden Holtby's shutout bid with less than seven minutes remaining in the third period, Lowry's goal with just 2:25 left on the clock tied the game; unfortunately, the Caps ended up winning on a goal with 30 seconds left. This game still represents a major step forward for Lowry, who had been fairly awful to start the season. Those six shots actually doubled his total from the prior nine games, a span in which he'd collected one assist and a minus-1 rating. Of course, those using Lowry in fantasy are probably more interested in his hits and PIM, both of which have been trickling out just a bit slowly (19 and eight, respectively) over the season's first 10 games.
