Rotowire
Sgarbossa scored a goal, dished an assist and added two PIM in Saturday's 8-1 win over the Blues.
Sgarbossa set up a Rasmus Sandin goal early in the third period before scoring one of his own later in the frame. The 32-year-old Sgarbossa has shuffled back and forth between the NHL roster and AHL Hershey lately, offering a challenge to Hendrix Lapierre's spot as the third-line center. Sgarbossa is at two points, one shots on net, two PIM and a plus-2 rating through three appearances. He offers limited scoring upside even as part of a deeper-than-expected Capitals offense.

Rotowire
Sgarbossa (face) participated in Sunday's scrimmage after leaving Saturday's practice, Tarik El-Bashir of Monumental Sports Network reports.
Sgarbossa required six stitches after being hit in the face by the puck, but his teeth remain undamaged. Even if he doesn't play in Sunday's preseason contest versus Philadelphia, the 32-year-old forward seems fine. Sgarbossa produced four goals and seven points in 25 regular-season outings with the Capitals in 2023-24. He is competing for a bottom-six spot in the lineup during training camp.

Capitals' Michael Sgarbossa: Bags apple Tuesday
Rotowire
Sgarbossa tallied an assist and two shots during Tuesday's 6-2 loss to the Sabres.
Sgarbossa has points in consecutive games and has tied his career high of seven points from the 2016-17 season. The 31-year-old is likely to remain with the Capitals for the balance of the campaign given he is no longer eligible to suit up for AHL Hershey's upcoming playoff run, but he may struggle to see regular ice time once Tom Wilson (suspension) and T.J. Oshie (upper body) return.

Sgarbossa has three goals and five points in 15 games since being recalled to fill the void while Evgeny Kuznetsov was in the league's Player Assistance Program. With the latter having since been traded to Carolina, the 31-year-old Sgarbossa could get an extended look as the Capitals chase down a playoff spot, but he could struggle to find regular ice time once Nic Dowd (upper body) returns from the injured list.
