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

Leonard scored a goal on three shots and delivered four hits during his 14:04 of ice time in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Canucks. - The rookie buried his second goal of the season on the power play Sunday, kickstarting a crazy Capitals comeback attempt that came up just a goal short. Leonard is averaging just 12:24 of ice time so far this season, but does see time on the team's second power play unit. Washington sports a deep group of forwards that may make it tough to find a promotion to the top-six anytime soon, despite the 20-year-old's immense talent. |

Leonard netted a goal and had three hits in Saturday's 4-2 win against the Islanders. - Leonard's first goal of the season came midway through the second period off a feed from defenseman Jakob Chychrun. The 20-year-old Leonard is up to two goals in 11 career regular-season games. He is currently in a third-line role on the right wing but has seen a solid chunk of power-play time as a part of the second unit. His five-on-five ice time is a current limitation for his fantasy ceiling, as he saw just 10:01 Saturday. Leonard is best as a future-oriented stash in keeper formats for the time being, with the potential to carve out a larger role by the end of this season. |

Leonard provided an assist and three shots on goal in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Canadiens in Game 2. - Leonard has stayed in the Capitals' lineup since April 1 after signing his entry-level deal a day earlier. The 20-year-old is in a bottom-six role during the playoffs, though he's also involved on the power play. He has a helper, four shots, three hits and a plus-1 rating through two playoff outings. While he has a bright future ahead, his role is likely to be limited this postseason as he continues to adjust to the NHL. |

Leonard scored an empty-net goal on four shots, added two PIM and logged two hits in Friday's 5-3 win over the Blackhawks. - It took Leonard just three games to put his name on an NHL scoresheet, and he did so in the same contest that Alex Ovechkin tied Wayne Gretzky for the all-time goals record. It'll be a memorable moment for Leonard, who has slotted right into a middle-six role while racking up five shots on net, nine hits and a plus-1 rating over three appearances. The eighth overall pick from 2023 has tremendous scoring upside, but fantasy managers in redraft formats may want to wait until 2025-26 to take a gamble on him. |

Leonard signed a three-year, entry-level contract with Washington on Monday. - Leonard produced 30 goals and 49 points in 37 games with Boston College during his sophomore season in 2024-25. He captained Team USA to a gold medal at the 2025 IIHF World Junior Championship, posting five goals and 10 points in seven games en route to being named the tournament MVP. The Capitals selected the 20-year-old forward with the No. 8 pick in the 2023 NHL Entry Draft. Leonard could make his Washington debut versus Boston on Tuesday. |
