ARLINGTON — The Washington Capitals didn’t make any additions or subtractions at the NHL trade deadline Monday, but the moves they wanted to make had been taken care of already.
After standing pat on NHL trade deadline day, the Capitals are moving forward with their new-look roster that includes forward Carl Hagelin, formerly of the Los Angeles Kings and a few Eastern Conference foes, and defenseman Nick Jensen, who Washington acquired from Detroit.
Speaking to reporters for the first time since the trades, Capitals general manager Brian MacLellan touted their roles as penalty-killers and defenders with speed.
