Williams practiced on the top line with Alex Ovechkin and Nicklas Backstrom on Friday, Isabelle Khurshudyan of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Despite having only one goal on the season, the 34-year-old winger is apparently getting a promotion as head coach Barry Trotz looks to shake up a suddenly stagnant Washington offense. As long as Williams can stick in the top-six, he holds decent value in most formats, so keep an eye on his ice time in the short-term. He may be worth a speculative add in standard formats and decent upside in daily leagues for the time being.
