Leonard picked up two assists Tuesday in a 7-3 loss to the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

It was his first game back after missing seven with facial and upper-body injuries. Leonard had started to flash greatness right before he got hurt -- he had a four-point effort the game before he got hurt and seven points, including five assists, in a four-game streak. Leonard is an impressive rookie this season -- his 0.67 points/games played is third behind only Ivan Demidov (0.81) and Beckett Sennecke (0.76) on the rookie scoring list.

Leonard (shoulder) was activated from injured reserve Tuesday, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Following a seven-game absence, Leonard is poised to return to the lineup against the Rangers on Tuesday. He has picked up seven goals, 18 points, 61 shots on net and 43 hits across 29 appearances this season.

Leonard (shoulder) is day-to-day, according to Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Leonard will miss his sixth consecutive game against Detroit on Saturday, but he has been progressing. However, it remains unclear if he will return before the Christmas break. He has accounted for seven goals, 18 points, 61 shots on net and 43 hits across 29 appearances this season.

The Capitals announced Thursday that Leonard (shoulder) should miss 3-4 weeks.

EDGE Analysis

Leonard absorbed a huge hit, courtesy of Jacob Trouba on Dec. 5 in Anaheim. Leonard has seven goals and 11 assists across 29 contests this season.

Leonard (upper body) was moved to injured reserve Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Washington recalled Bogdan Trineyev from AHL Hershey in a corresponding move. Leonard will be out for an extended period of time, according to Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post, but it's unclear when he will be ready to return to the lineup. Leonard has contributed seven goals, 18 points, 61 shots on net and 43 hits across 29 appearances this season.

Leonard (upper body) has been ruled out for Sunday's tilt against Columbus, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Leonard absorbed a big hit from Jacob Trouba in the first period Friday and did not return. Head coach Spencer Carbery said after the game that Leonard was going to be out, but he did not provide a timeline for his return. Leonard has seven goals and 18 points in 29 games, including two goals and five helpers in four games before the injury. Sonny Milano could draw into the lineup Sunday in place of Leonard.

Leonard (upper body) won't finish Friday's game versus the Ducks.

EDGE Analysis

Leonard was rocked on a heavy hit by Jacob Trouba in the first period and was unable to return from it. Losing Leonard for any length of time could be troublesome for the Capitals' depth, as he was rounding into form with eight points over six games prior to Friday. Sonny Milano is the extra forward on the roster, but the Capitals could dip into their depth at AHL Hershey if Leonard ends up missing an extended length of time.

Leonard scored twice on six shots, added two assists, logged two hits and went plus-3 in Wednesdays' 7-1 win over the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

Leonard was involved in four of the Sharks' last five goals in this contest. He had gone seven games without scoring, though he had four assists over his last five outings before the best game of his young career Wednesday. Overall, the 20-year-old rookie is up to seven goals, 18 points, 60 shots on net, 43 hits, 12 PIM and a plus-7 rating across 28 appearances. That kind of production should have a home in most fantasy formats.

Leonard scored two goals in Wednesday's 7-4 win over the Oilers.

EDGE Analysis

The rookie winger delivered his first career multi-point performance in his 29th NHL game, getting pucks past Stuart Skinner in the first and second periods. Leonard, the eighth overall pick in the 2023 NHL Draft, snapped a 12-game goal drought with the effort, but he's stayed fairly productive overall in his first full season at the top level, and over the last 15 contests he's churned out four goals and nine points.

Leonard scored a goal on three shots in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Kraken.

EDGE Analysis

Leonard has scored in back-to-back games. He saw just 10:22 of ice time Tuesday, but he's been reliably in a third-line role to begin the campaign. The 20-year-old winger has plenty of scoring potential, and an injury to a top-six winger could give him the opportunity to log more minutes. He's produced three goals, 16 shots on net, 14 hits and a plus-3 rating through seven contests to start 2025-26.
