Justin Sourdif Fantasy Stats

Washington Capitals forward Justin Sourdif ended a six-game point drought in style on Monday against the Calgary Flames, recording a goal and two assists in a 7-3 victory. He was elevated to the top line for the game and became only the third Capitals rookie in the past 40 years with multiple three-point games in a season. Despite experiencing an offensive slump in recent weeks, Sourdif is averaging close to 0.5 points per game and holds an impressive plus-15 rating through 61 appearances. He has contributed 13 goals and 16 assists, collecting 25 of his 29 points during even-strength play. Sourdif's offensive production could see major improvement if he partners with Alex Ovechkin for an extended period.

He took a puck to the face on Sunday against the Nashville Predators and will sit out at least one game. Sourdif has notched 19 points (nine goals, 10 assists) in 45 contests during his rookie year. Connor McMichael will take over second-line center duties on Tuesday night, while Anthony Beauvillier will move back into the top six.
