Connor McMichael reached a career milestone by recording his 100th NHL point as he assisted on a goal and scored the game-winning goal in a recent match against the Seattle Kraken. Although overshadowed by Alex Ovechkin's significant milestone, McMichael's performance earned praise from coach Spencer Carbery, who noted McMichael had improved immensely after a slump where his skating was off. McMichael's scoring production rebounded in February, nearing a point-per-game average, reestablishing himself as a key contributor for the Capitals.
When you're not skating and you don't have any speed and you try to beat people in this league, you're dead in the water.
Carbery believes McMichael is back doing the things that made him so successful earlier in the 2024-25 campaign.
After starting the season with 24 points (14g, 10a) in 24 games in October and November, McMichael cooled off significantly in December and January.
McMichael is back near a point-per-game production level in February and March, notching 12 points (5g, 7a) in his last 13 games.
