News: 4 days agoStrome banked an even-strength goal, a power-play assist and a plus-2 rating in Monday's 5-2 exhibition win over the Flyers.

Spin: Strome set up Aliaksei Protas' power-play marker midway through the first period before scoring the game-winner late in the second. The 29-year-old Strome had just 58 points last season after supplying at least 65 in each of the previous three years, but he should be capable of getting back over the 60-point mark in 2026-27 since the Capitals brought in two skilled forwards in Alex Tuch and Jordan Kyrou.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Strome shocked many by averaging exactly a point-per-game two seasons ago. That production came crashing back down to earth in 2025-26, as he managed just 19 goals and 58 points in 80 games. At the root of the decline was a massive dip in power-play scoring. Strome managed just 21 points with the man advantage after racking up 34 the year prior. Strome has durability on his side, having missed just three games in the past four seasons, and he's due some positive regression in the shooting percentage department after posting his lowest mark in five years (13.3 percent) in the recently completed campaign, but asking Strome to top 80 points once again like he did back in 2024-25 feels like a massive stretch.
