Alexeyev was scratched for the 10th game in a row when he sat out Friday's 5-4 overtime win over the Islanders. - Alexeyev's five appearances this year came consecutively from Oct. 31 to Nov. 8. He recorded 10 blocked shots and six hits in that span. The 25-year-old defenseman hasn't had a chance to play since the Capitals got Jakob Chychrun and Matt Roy back from injuries sustained in October. Alexeyev would require waivers to be assigned to AHL Hershey, so it appears the Capitals are content with having him and Dylan McIlrath on board with the big club as extra options on the blue line. |

Alexeyev (personal) was back with the Capitals ahead of Thursday's clash with Montreal, Tarik El-Bashir of Monumental Sports Network reports. - Alexeyev will slot into the lineup for Washington for the first time this season due to injuries to Matt Roy (lower body) and Jakob Chychrun (upper body). Since both injured players still sported non-contact jerseys at Thursday's game-day skate, the 24-year-old Alexeyev could also be pressed into service for the Capitals' upcoming back-to-back versus Columbus and Carolina on Saturday and Sunday, respectively. |

Alexeyev was absent from Wednesday's practice session due to a personal matter, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports. - The 24-year-old would likely be in line to play Thursday against Montreal if Jakob Chychrun (upper body), who is considered day-to-day, is unable to suit up. However, it's not yet clear whether Alexeyev will be back with the team in time for Thursday's home game. Head coach Spencer Carbery also said Wednesday that Matt Roy (lower body) is "getting real close" to returning, but it's not yet clear who would enter the lineup if both Chychrun and Alexeyev are unavailable. |

Alexeyev recorded an assist and two hits in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Rangers in Game 4. - Alexeyev set up a Hendrix Lapierre goal in the second period. The helper ended Alexeyev's 19-game point drought, though it was encouraging to see him in the lineup regularly down the stretch. The 24-year-old blueliner had just three points with 48 hits, 59 blocked shots and a minus-8 rating over 39 regular-season contests. Alexeyev is under contract for 2024-25, so he'll have a chance to compete for a bottom-four role with the Capitals in training camp. |

The 24-year-old defenseman saw just 10:16 of ice time Saturday, his lowest total since November. He remains in the mix for third-pairing minutes, sharing a spot in the lineup with Ethan Bear. Alexeyev has a meager three points with 10 shots on net, 38 blocked shots, 20 hits and a minus-5 rating over 23 appearances. |

Alexyev tallied an assist and blocked three shots while logging 15:14 of ice time during Thursday's 6-0 win over the Penguins. - Alexeyev made a pinpoint pass to a wide open Sonny Milano to end a nine-game point drought dating back to Nov. 24. With Joel Edmundson having been traded to Toronto, the 24-year-old Alexeyev should have less trouble getting ice time in the home stretch of the season, but the presence of Ethan Bear could prevent him from garnering a regular role. |

Alexeyev tallied a goal and added two shots while logging 10:55 of ice time in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime win against the Sabres. - The goal marks the first of Alexeyev's NHL career - not to mention his first point of the season. The 24-year-old has struggled to garner a consistent role and has been competing with Lucas Johansen and Hardy Haman-Aktell for playing time as the Capitals have dealt with various injuries to their defense corps. With Joel Edmundson now back in the fold after missing the first month of the season and Martin Fehervary (lower body) nearing a return, it's unlikely Alexeyev will get the regular playing time he needs to deliver much in the way of dividends for fantasy managers. |

Alexeyev signed a two-year, $1.65 million extension with the Capitals on Monday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports. - Alexeyev recorded five assists while averaging 16:27 of ice time through 32 games as a rookie with Washington this season.

Alexeyev logged an assist, three shots on goal and two hits in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Ducks. - Alexeyev was called upon to log 25:08 of ice time due to injuries taking Nick Jensen (upper body) and Martin Fehervary (lower body) out of the contest. This was all the more impressive for Alexeyev since he had played just five of the Capitals' 23 games since the start of January, with his last appearance being Jan. 21. The 23-year-old could be set for a much larger role if either of his injured teammates miss more time. Alexeyev now has three assists, 10 shots on net, 14 hits, 17 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating through 13 outings. |
