Max Pacioretty News
Washington Capitals left wing Max Pacioretty (lower body) appears ready to play against Montreal on Tuesday. The former Canadiens captain exited Washington's previous game against Dallas with a lower-body injury, but he participated fully in Monday's practice. Pacioretty has scored once through his first 12 appearances as a member of the Capitals, adding six assists. He's expected to skate with Connor McMichael and T.J. Oshie on Tuesday, and we should also see Max Pacioretty on the first power-play unit.
Washington Capitals forward Max Pacioretty is expected to play when the team hosts the Montreal Canadiens on Tuesday. Pacioretty left his team's final pre-All-Star break game against the Dallas Stars but the injury is not said to be related to his right Achilles' tendon which he tore twice a five-month span in January of 2023 before returning to action nearly one year later this season with Washington. The veteran has one goal and seven points on 27 shots across 12 games on the season while averaging 14:40 of average ice time per game, his second-lowest average of the last 12 seasons, ahead of only the 13:39 he averaged in five games with the Hurricanes last season before re-tearing his Achilles.
Washington Capitals forward Max Pacioretty (Achilles) has been taken off IR and is expected to make his season debut on Wednesday against the New Jersey Devils. Pacioretty hasn't played since January 19 of last year and has only played five games since April of 2022. He has finally finished his grueling recovery from a second Achilles injury and is ready to go, but the extent to which the Capitals will use him out of the gate is unknown. Eventually, he should settle into a top-six role with time on the first powerplay unit, provided he can stay healthy. That said, he should be owned in most fantasy leagues as he can put up decent point and shot totals.
Washington Capitals forward Max Pacioretty practiced in a full-contact jersey for the first time Tuesday as he works his way back from a second torn right Achilles' tendon. The veteran tore his Achilles midway through the 2021-22 season while with the Vegas Golden Knights. He suffered a second right Achilles tear after just five games with the Carolina Hurricanes in 2022-23. While he mulled retirement, Pacioretty ended up signing a one-year, $2 million deal with the Caps in the offseason. The oft-injured winger is productive when healthy, tallying 46 goals and 91 points across 92 games over his last three seasons. The veteran has also averaged a hefty 3.38 shots per game in his 15-year NHL career, an important number for prospective fantasy managers.
