The Capitals also re-signed goaltender Hunter Shepard to a two-way contract and forward Pierrick Dube to an entry-level deal. Neither player has made their NHL debut.
Shepard, 27, was 20-8-5 with a 2.18 goals-against average in 33 games with Hershey last season.
Dube, 22, had 32 points (16 goals, 16 assists) in 44 games with the AHL’s Laval Rocket.
