Chychrun tallied an even-strength assist, a power-play helper and three shots in Saturday's 7-4 win over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Chychrun has been a revelation since arriving in an offseason trade with Ottawa, having posted 11 goals and 27 points in 34 games. He has registered six points in his last five outings. The 26-year-old is a must-start as he builds a compelling case for a hefty contract extension between now and potentially heading to unrestricted free agency this summer.

Chychrun scored a power-play goal on four shots, blocked two shots, added two PIM and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Bruins.
EDGE Analysis
Chychrun has four points, including two on the power play, over his last three games. That's helped him bounce back from his season-worst four-game point drought from Dec. 17-23. The defenseman is up to 11 goals, 14 helpers, eight power-play points, 71 shots on net, 41 blocked shots, 26 PIM, 24 hits and a plus-17 rating over 32 appearances.

Chychrun recorded a goal, a power-play assist, a plus-3 rating and four shots during Saturday's 5-2 win over the Maple Leafs.
EDGE Analysis
Chychrun had been held off the scoresheet in his four previous outings with Saturday's outburst putting him at two goals and eight points in 11 games during the month of December. The 26-year-old filled in so admirably for Alex Ovechkin on the power play during the former's month-long absence that Washington is keeping Chychrun on the top power-play unit for the time being -- which would be a significant boost to his already extensive fantasy value after posting 10 goals and 23 points in 30 games to open the 2024-25 season.

Chychrun tallied a goal, an assist, a plus-2 rating and five shots during Saturday's 4-2 win over the Sabres.
EDGE Analysis
Chychrun's shimmering start with the Capitals continues as he has now registered four goals and 12 points over his last 10 games. The 26-year-old could be on the march to a career-year if he can stay healthy and is primed to cash in on a hefty new contract at some point in the next few months having posted 20 points in his first 24 games.

Chychrun picked up two assists Thursday in a 2-1 win over Columbus.
EDGE Analysis
Chychrun has three assists in his last two games and 18 points overall in 23 games. The defender set a career mark with 41 points last season in Ottawa, and he's on pace to obliterate that this season. Chychrun is delivering on his first-round promise.

Chychrun notched a power-play assist and six shots on net in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Canadiens.
EDGE Analysis
Chychrun had been held off the scoresheet in the previous two games. The 26-year-old defenseman set up Dylan Strome's insurance tally at 13:49 of the third period. Chychrun now has 16 points (five on the power play), 48 shots on net, 30 blocked shots, 20 PIM and a plus-11 rating through 22 appearances, a successful start to his Capitals tenure.

Chychrun scored a power-play goal and added two PIM in Saturday's 6-5 win over the Devils.
EDGE Analysis
Chychrun scored at 10:56 of the second period, cashing in on the second half of Dawson Mercer's double-minor for high-sticking. The 26-year-old Chychrun is playing confident with three goals and four assists over his last four games, and he has a power-play point in each contest in that span. He's up to a total of eight goals, seven helpers, 38 shots on net, 25 blocked shots, 16 PIM, 14 hits and a plus-10 rating through 19 appearances. That's solid all-around production from the blue line, even with his average ice time (19:58 per game) being the lowest it's been since his rookie year.

Chychrun tallied a goal, and assist and a plus-2 rating during Friday's 5-4 overtime win over the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
Chychrun skated coast-to-coast before wristing the game-winner past Islanders netminder Semyon Varlamov in overtime. The 26-year-old has roared out of the starting gate with seven goals and 14 points in 18 games. Chychrun has a good chance to top his career-high of 41 points if he can stay healthy and is one of the better fantasy blueliners thus far in the 2024-25 season.

Chychrun tallied a goal, two assists and three shots during Monday's 4-1 win over the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
Chychrun continues to dazzle in his first full season with the Capitals, having posted six goals and 11 points in 16 games. The 26-year-old is likely to experience some regression in the goal-scoring department, as he is benefitting from a whopping 19.4 shooting percentage. Chychrun is likely to set new career highs in goals and points as long as he can stay healthy -- and cash in on a hefty new contract should he make it to unrestricted free agency in the summer.
