Jakob Chychrun is expected to step up for the Capitals in the absence of Alex Ovechkin, taking on a key role in quarterbacking the top power-play unit. In his last five games, he has recorded three goals, one assist, eight shots, and eight blocked shots. With the Capitals facing the fast-paced Colorado Avalanche, Chychrun has the potential to achieve both a solid floor and a high ceiling in this matchup.
