Leonard logged two assists and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 5-1 win over the Blackhawks.
EDGE Analysis
Leonard saw a four-game point streak end versus the Stars on Wednesday, but he bounced back with helpers on goals by Connor McMichael and Justin Sourdif in this contest. The 20-year-old Leonard continues to improve as he gains more trust with the Capitals' coaching staff. The rookie winger is up to 27 points (seven on the power play), 77 shots on net, 51 hits, 20 PIM and a plus-11 rating over 38 appearances. As long as he keeps seeing middle-six minutes and power-play time, he has the tools to help most fantasy teams.

Leonard scored a goal and added an assist in Monday's 7-4 win over Anaheim.
EDGE Analysis
Both points came in the second period, as Leonard potted Washington's third goal before having a hand in Justin Sourdif's third of the night. Leonard has gotten onto the scoresheet in four straight games, and over seven contests since returning from a shoulder injury, he's picked up two goals and seven points while skating on the Caps' second line at even strength and first power-play unit.

Leonard scored a goal on three shots and added two hits in Saturday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Blackhawks.
EDGE Analysis
Leonard has earned a goal and four assists over six games since he returned from a shoulder injury. The 20-year-old could get a boost in usage if Tom Wilson (lower body) or Aliaksei Protas (lower body) miss any additional time. Leonard is up to eight goals, 23 points, 72 shots on net, 48 hits, 20 PIM and a plus-8 rating through 35 appearances, mainly in a third-line role. Leonard is now fourth in rookie points, trailing Ivan Demidov (35), Beckett Sennecke (31) and Matthew Schaefer (28).

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.
