Capitals' Hendrix Lapierre: Dishes helper TuesdayApril 03, 2024 | 08:56 AM

Lapierre registered an assist and three shots during Tuesday's 6-2 loss to the Sabres. Since garnering regular playing time following the trade of Evgeny Kuznetsov to the Hurricanes, Lapierre has been a steady contributor for the Capitals with six goals and 12 points in his last 18 games. The 22-year-old is an important piece in Washington's long-term plans and his late-season success should be enough for him to earn a full-time NHL role for the 2024-25 season.
