Sourdif notched an assist and two shots on goal in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Sabres.

Sourdif missed the previous two games due to an illness. The 24-year-old returned to a fourth-line center spot, logging 15:26 of ice time. The depth of the Capitals' offense is a gift and a curse for Sourdif, who should have decent linemates throughout the year despite a limited role. He has two points, eight shots on net, 14 hits and eight PIM across eight appearances.
