Christian Djoos.
Luckily the Caps did not lose Djoos as he cleared waivers. Liam O’Brien and Michael Sgarbossa also cleared waivers. All three have been assigned to Hershey.
Djoos’s 2018-19 season was cut short after 45 points after requiring surgery for compartment syndrome. Djoos recorded 10 points. Djoos returned for three games in the Capitals first round-exit to the Carolina Hurricanes.
The Caps still need to make a few more cuts prior to Tuesday’s 5 p.m. decline to be at a maximum of 25 on the roster and be below the salary cap.
