Connor McMichael, a forward for the Washington Capitals, started the 2024-25 season strong with 24 points in his first 24 games. However, his production saw a downturn, with only 17 points over the next 31 games. Capitals coach Spencer Carbery expressed optimism about McMichael's potential resurgence, noting his competitive drive and fresh mindset post-break. While McMichael's shooting percentage dropped significantly due to opposing teams adjusting their strategies against him, the Capitals continue to perform well with him on the ice in terms of expected goals and high-danger chances.
I'm hopeful that Mikey's going to have a real good finishing stretch to the season. He started red hot, was playing at a really high level, sort of dipped through the middle portion of the year.
While the Capitals aren't getting the same flow of points from McMichael, the team has remained successful at five-on-five with him on the ice.
