2025 Fantasy Outlook
Miroshnichenko chipped in one goal, three assists, 14 shots on net and 28 hits in 18 regular-season appearances with Washington in 2024-25 while averaging a mere 9:21 of playing time. The 21-year-old forward could land a bottom-six role with the Capitals going into the 2025-26 campaign, though he has only 10 points in 39 NHL regular-season contests over the last two years. Still, Miroshnichenko was productive in the AHL last season and could be worth monitoring if he receives an increased role at the NHL level. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a two-year, $1.85 million contract extension with the Capitals in October of 2025.
Lands two-year extension
Miroshnichenko (upper body) signed a two-year, $1.85 million contract extension with the Capitals on Friday, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Miroshnichenko was sent to AHL Hershey ahead of the regular season, and he's been sidelined since Oct. 12 due to an upper-body injury. Despite appearing in only two minor-league games to begin the year, he came to an agreement on a two-year deal that will prevent him from becoming a restricted free agent during the offseason. It's not yet clear when he'll be able to return to game action.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
It was a decent test season for Miroshnichenko last year, as he generated two goals, four assists and 50 hits in 21 appearances for the Caps while averaging 12:08 of ice time. Still, minutes won't be easy to come by for the 20-year-old winger, making him a riskier option in re-draft formats - though he should be a lock for your lineup in dynasty/keeper formats. If he can break into the NHL lineup for Opening Night and beyond, Miroshnichenko could be an intriguing sleeper play and would be in contention for a 30-40-point season if he suits up in closer to 65-70 contests.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Candidate to be recalled
Miroshnichenko could be promoted from AHL Hershey, according to Sammi Silber of The Hockey News.
ANALYSIS
With Alex Ovechkin being deemed week-to-week with a lower-leg injury, the Capitals will likely need to recall a forward from Hershey, as the big club only has 12 healthy forwards currently on the roster. Miroshnichenko has played well in the minors, compiling seven goals and seven assists over 16 contests. The right-shot forward produced two goals and four assists across 21 regular-season games with Washington in 2023-24.
