Taylor Chorney has made the Capitals' roster.

Chorney has made the Capitals' roster, the Washington Post reports.

Analysis:

Chorney survived challenges from Ryan Stanton and Aaron Ness as both defensemen were re-assigned to AHL Hershey following Sunday's contest. With Brooks Orpik (wrist) nearing a return, Chorney may struggle to stay in the lineup, so his fantasy value -- even if he starts the season in the NHL -- is limited at best.
